update

Triangle Community Birth Stories is no longer organizing meetings.  There are many great resources in the Triangle Area and online for expectant moms interested in meeting other moms and learning about how birth happens.  Below is a list of some of the ones we can recommend:

Birth Circles in the RTP area

  • Sacred Space Birth Circle at The Family Nest:
  • The Birth Circle at Hillsborough Yoga and Healing Arts
  • Meet the Doula events for Doula groups sometimes will also have mothers come back to share their stories.  Simply email one of the Doulas in the group to ask about the event.

Online Resources that collect and share birth stories

  • Birth Stories on Demand
  • Birth Without Fear
  • Doula websites will often share stories from their clients
  • Mother/baby communities online often have forums dedicated to birth stories of all kinds. BabyCenter even has a Natural Unmedicated Childbirth group.
