  • Local birth stories for Mainers

    I appreciate the way Angela prompts people to tell their stories. It is mostly the birthing folks speaking, with questions or brief input from Angela. It’s fun being from Maine and knowing a lot of the providers and locations mentioned in the stories.

    I love how Angela has provided a platform for all of these unique birth stories. Maine is a big small state so it feels like listening to my neighbors birth story each time I tune in. That’s special. Thanks for allowing me to tell my own tale! @birth.advocate
