BIRTH
STORIES
Here are a selection of birth stories, some of which
have been published in our magazine "Down
to Birth" or have been submitted to us for publishing
on this website.
These stories give very personal insights into homebirth
as experienced by women in Queensland.
Each birth is a unique experience and occurs in its
own way, at its own time. The births vary enormously
in their settings and details, but each one remains
the treasured memory of the arrival of a new, special
little person.
