TheAttachedFamily.com is proud to announce the creation of a new section on the online magazine – Your Birth Stories – as the kickoff celebrating the first issue of The Attached Family Magazine, due to the mailboxes and inboxes of Attachment Parenting International (API) members in May. This first edition of the “new Journal” is API’s annual New Baby issue and focuses on empowering parents to share their childbirth experiences – heart-warming, or heart-breaking – with one another.
Here, in the “Your Birth Stories” section, you can share your child’s birth story – to educate others, to break down barriers and help others become more accepting of experiences very different from their own, to heal from the disappointments and emotional pain of your own childbirth, and to learn about birth from an Attachment Parenting perspective. Whether you had the perfect birth or one fraught with worry and complications, whether you chose pain relief or was able to birth naturally without medication, whether you birthed at home or at a hospital, every story is a valuable teaching tool for others and us.
Send your birth story to Editor Rita Brhel at editor@attachmentparenting.org to be included in the “Your Birth Stories” section of TheAttachedFamily.com and help reach out to other parents through API.
