I've Surpassed Any Goal I Set For

I Never Set Out To Be A Role Model For Large Women, I Just Do What I Feel Is Right.

I Think It's Important To Balance Out What People See Today As Normal Birth, In A Hospital Room, Flat On Their Backs, Usually With An Iv And A Fetal Monitor Hooked Up To Them. That Does Happen, But Other Things Are Possible.

Being Fat Worked, And I Think That Was What Was Confusing For Me For A Long Time In My Career.

My Birth Experience Is Not Right For Everyone, But It Was So Right For Me. I Am Changed Because Of That Experience, I Saw My Power And I Felt My Power, And It's Gotten Me Through A Lot Of Hardship. I Tell Myself That If I Could Get Through That, I Can Get Through Anything. I Think Women Are Losing An Opportunity By Not Aspiring To Have Births In Which They Are Active Participants.

I Was A Girl And Became A Woman. Something About Having The Freedom At Home To Be In The Position I Wanted, To Have The People I Wanted, Was Empowering.
