Hi Karil!

I came across your website today. I have 4 children. All were born in different circumstances. One in a traditional labor and delivery room 16 years ago, One born in an alternative birth room. One delivered by Linda Church in water at Dr. Rosenthals birthing center and one born with a lay midwife at home. The last two were the easiest deliveries - 6 hour labors. I have to say though, that my son born in water is the calmest child of all four of my children. I can't help but believe that it is the waterbirth that is responsible for this. Thanks so much for this wonderful website!
