Giving birth is an emotionally and physically intense experience for parents. New mothers and fathers often feel compelled to tell the story of their birth experience for the first few months after the baby is born. In doing so they process the enormous impact the event has had on them. But as time goes on the details of the birth fade and the story becomes less rich. Recording Birth Stories gives new parents, whether first timers or old timers, the opportunity to rejoice in, record and reflect on the powerful experience of giving birth.
