Michelle Coles is a mother of 5 boys between the ages of 10 and 7 weeks, no twins included. Every birth is a unique experience. All births are vaginal. Her first three were born in hospitals and her last two were born at home with midwives. She was in labor for about 20 hours with her first child and only an hour and a half with her last child. She received an epidural for her two oldest babies, weighing 9 and 10 lbs, and the others were given no medication. As a result of these different experiences, she has learned a lot about childbirth and is happy to share what she has learned with others.
