This summer we've curated your Delivery Room playlist with even more birth stories from our friends at Diary Of A Birth. Enjoy! When Minnie's home birth plans shifted to a hospital delivery after two days of stop-start labor, she didn't just accept her "Plan B" – she got creative. Her unexpected strategy? Dressing "like a celebrity avoiding paparazzi" complete with sunglasses, headphones, and clothes pulled over her head. Despite synthetic oxytocin making contractions feel "like being hit by lightning," Minnie found herself overcome with relief and joy during the final moments, laughing her daughter Charlie out into the water and her husband's waiting hands. From birth pool to home by dinner time, Minnie's story proves that positive births aren't about location but feeling empowered through every contraction.
