We have three boys already and have decided that we've had enough children, but our experience at the Birth Place was just that wonderful. Our labor started around 5:00 p.m. and our son was born at 8:15 p.m. Everyone supported us, encouraged, prayed, meditated, and finally blessed the welcoming of our baby. It was nothing like the experience in the hospital which was very clinical, cold, and antiseptic. The physician "took over" the birth and the nurse almost insisted that we get the epidural. The hospital experience made us feel as if we were not even a part of the birth of our first son. At the Birth Place, we were treated like family and given total control of how we wanted it to go. I could not have had a better, more relaxed birth. We are still thanking Jennie and her staff for their love and care.
