As a mother of four kids each birth was definitely unique. The most challenging delivery for me was my first-born daughter. Not knowing what to expect was really hard for me, I was determined to deliver her naturally and I followed my own wishes and I had them naturally. I was blessed to have had a 15-hour labor with no complications. One thing that I focus on through the process is definitely my own mother. She was pregnant 17 times and gave birth naturally to 14 children. 12 sons and 2 daughters, I am the youngest of the family. She helped me get through the process and encouraged me through her own story of pregnancies and birthing. When she was pregnant with me in her third trimester, she could hardly walk. She truly gave her all as a mother and continues to do so today. She literally had to crawl at the end of her pregnancy with me. Her strength and courage has become my own. She is the most inspiring person to me and her strength lifts me. I hope to someday pass on her strengt...
