Griffin
After many hours of labor and over two hours of pushing, my body was weak and exhausted. To avoid the possibility of a surgical birth, I agreed to a couple drops of Pitocin. Sure enough, it jumpstarted my contractions again, and after a couple cycles of pushing, the baby was crowning. A few more cycles, and I had little Griffin in my arms. Baby boy certainly made me work for it, though — all in all, I was in labor for 27 hours!
Paloma
Paloma was also born in a birthing center, but my labor couldn’t have been any different the second time around. I labored off and on for a couple days at home, before just making it to the birthing center in time. Though I planned for a water birth, I delivered Paloma on all fours in just three pushes.
Faith
After experiencing a series of miscarriages last year, I got my rainbow baby. My third child, Faith, was born at home—before the midwife could even arrive.

- Get good prenatal care. Good prenatal care is essential for you and your baby. If you haven't yet chosen a doctor or a midwife to care for you during pregnancy, start asking for recommendations from friends, family, and any of your other healthcare providers.
- Focus on eating well. Keep plenty of healthy snacks on hand, and plan your meals around whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables. (Learn the 12 best foods to eat when pregnant.)
- Take prenatal vitamins. Your nutrient needs increase during pregnancy – you're building a baby, after all! Even if you eat a healthy, well balanced diet, it can be hard to get all the nutrients you need during pregnancy.
- Exercise regularly. A good exercise program can give you the strength and endurance you'll need to carry the weight you gain during pregnancy, help prevent or ease aches and pains, improve sluggish circulation in your legs, and help you handle the physical stress of labor.
