An inspiring collection of birth stories by a charming midwife.

Each time she knelt to "catch" another wriggling baby--nearly three thousand times during her remarkable career--California midwife Peggy Vincent paid homage to the moment when pain bows to joy and the world makes way for one more. With every birth, she encounters another woman-turned-goddess: Catherine rides out her labor in a car careening down a mountain road. Sofia spends hers trying to keep her hyper doctor-father from burning down the house. Susannah gives birth so quietly that neither husband nor midwife notice until there's a baby in the room.

More than a collection of birth stories, however, Baby Catcher is a provocative account of the difficulties that midwives face in the United States. With vivid portraits of courage, perseverance, and love, this is an impassioned call to rethink technological hospital births in favor of more individualized and profound experiences in which mothers and fathers take center stage in the timeless drama of birth.

Fun
Style: Chain(Silver)1
This was really nice looking on my gf. It's a cheap pretty thing to wear. Of course you need to be careful as it's a little fragile being an inexpensive piece.

We’re not recommend it arrive tangled and once I put it on, it broke
Style: 8 Diamonds(Gold)
I ordered both the silver body chain and the gold body chain because I had an event and I wasn’t sure what color jewelry I would be wearing. They arrived in separate packaging. Both of them packaged horribly. Both of them were tangled and had horrible knots, making it nearly impossible to do. My daughter and I worked on them separately. She did the silver one. I did the gold one. They were very fragile so it took us probably about 20 to 30 minutes to untangle each one. I put it on and it broke less than two minutes later, that is the case for both of them, the one that was salvageable I attempted to wear for an evening out, and it broke even more. It’s sick more time. Did you tangle it than I actually got to wear it. I was not touching it, not moving it not pulling at it. The chain is just too fragile. I am calling Amazon for a refund and they are going back -both of them.

So Cute On! Perfect for Miami
Style: Chain(Gold)
I loved this gold body chain! I bought it for a girls trip to Miami and it was the perfect accessory. It added such a fun, stylish touch to my outfit and really elevated the whole look. It was lightweight, comfortable to wear, and stayed in place without feeling annoying or heavy. The gold color looked great and didn’t look cheap at all. If you’re looking for something cute and trendy for a vacation, beach day, or night out, this is a great option!
