Becoming Mom: Exploring the Many Paths to Motherhood - Episode One: Naturally


As they begin their Motherhood Series for the month of May, Alex and Mary discuss what they are most familiar with, traditional birth. Mary shares her pregnancy and birth experiences with her two children, William (Will) and Alexandra (Alex) in the 1980s. Although considered traditional births, there were many twists and turns that might call that into question.
