Summary
Dear readers, if you, like most women, love a good birth story, then this series is for you! I adore birth stories too. The particulars of how a specific baby (or babies!) enter this world are so varied and fascinating, and I always get so excited when one of my friends (either in person or online) shares her story.
So, I thought I'd share my stories with you because: 1. I love having them documented and 2. This has been one of the most asked questions on my social media, and, while most of my birth stories are available on my blog in written form, there's just nothing like the spoken word to convey the drama and anticipation of the moment (or MANY MOMENTS, in my case) when you get to meet that sweet new life.
Fair warning: I managed to record three different podcasts for this series, which will get us through the end of May, but our family is on an extended trip to Europe and will not return until the week of June 14th, so there will be a brief hiatus until I have a new episode for you. So sorry to leave you hanging, but there was only so much time in which to get everything done before we left. :)
Enjoy Installation Number 1!

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the MS-Mama Podcast. I'm your host Abby Halberstadt, happy wife, |
| 0:10.3 | Mama to 10 Bible Believing Christian. |
| 0:12.6 | And on today's show, I want to do something a little different |
| 0:15.6 | and hopefully a lot of fun. |
| 0:17.6 | And that is talk about birth stories. |
| 0:20.7 | Now, some of you may have immediately clicked away because this is not your jam but I guarantee you that you are in the minority because the vast majority of mamas that I have ever met love a good birth story. Now if you're so inclined and want to have pictures and a |
| 0:37.8 | text write-up I have about six of my birth stories on my blog MS-Mama. I'll link it in the show notes, and you can search and read to your |
| 0:46.8 | heart's content. But I thought I would talk through some of my birth stories here so they could all be at least in a shorter form in one |
| 0:55.5 | place and we'll see how short they end up being but one of the things that I |
| 0:59.6 | love about birth is that it is so unique for each experience and for each woman that goes through it. |
| 1:06.1 | Each of my birth has been similar in certain ways and then quite different in others and so I'm going to talk you through each one of them in brief hopefully |
| 1:17.6 | this doesn't need to be a two hour long podcast but I want you to know and you know if you listen to my comparison |
| 1:24.7 | podcast or any of the exhortations that I give you about kind of not looking to |
| 1:29.7 | the right of the left when it comes to things where we're supposed to keep our eyes fixed on |
| 1:33.1 | Christ which is all things but there are times and I've talked about this |
| 1:36.8 | extensively another podcast if you want to look those up that we are doing well |
| 1:41.7 | to say hey what is this person doing? What can I glean from it? But if you hear anything in my birth stories that is so different that you start to feel inadequate or superior, either end of the spectrum is not great. |
| 1:54.0 | I encourage you to just keep your eyes fixed on Jesus |
| 1:56.4 | and push those thoughts aside |
| 1:58.0 | and just enjoy hearing the perspective |
| 2:01.5 | of someone who's had a lot of births and then remembering what your own were like. |
| 2:05.6 | No two experiences are going to be the same and I think that's part of the beauty of it |
