Birth Story of the Week: In the Front Seat of a Ford Focus

Clocking in at less than a minute of footage, this is one of the shortest, yet one of the most powerful birth videos I've ever posted! Amazing.

PS: Have I really neglected this series since the end of October??? I have to get back into it...I miss the stories!

    1. If you click through to watch the video on YouTube there are a few comments from the uploaders:

      "The birth of our second child in the front seat of our Ford Focus. Kind of crazy and kind of graphic. I should also add we never stopped...Just continued on to the birthing center. When she got to the second story of the center is when she delivered the placenta."
