"The Birth Center is a remarkable place. Behind all the wonderful services exists a powerful and supportive community. This community creates an energy you can't help but be touched by, an energy that leaves you feeling lighter and more capable. It is energy that is drawn from every woman that offers an outstretched hand to another in their time of need, from arms extended to another in support, in grief, or in joy. It is energy drawn from the sweat of the women who dim the lights, who light the candles, who fluff the pillows, who fill the tub. Energy from the women who spend many sleepless nights trying to ease the burden of another. An energy that comes from shared tears and shared knowledge. An energy that comes alive with every laugh. An energy that is created when the first breath of life occurs.

Energy from the moment a man becomes a father. An energy that thrives in a place that was built so that others would profit from its love and support and wisdom.

I rode that energy through my pregnancy, through my labor, and again through my recovery from a birth that didn't go as planned. I continue to draw from it every time I am faced with a new question. I will forever regret that fate didn't allow my son's birth to happen at the Center but I will forever be grateful that my birth as a mother did. "
