In Sarah Beauchamp's own words: "My name is Sarah Beauchamp and I have a Bachelor’s degree with a focus on education. I am a mom of three kids (Almost 6, 4, and 1), a birth doula, a birth photographer, and the creator of the book, Birth Happens. I live in Northern Vermont. I am a doula and birth photographer who will give an overview of my own birth stories and then talk about the book I created, Birth Happens: A Collection of Birth Stories. This book has 128 different birth stories from 8 different countries. There is a focus on positive birth stories, but there are also some that are not as happy. There are home births, birth center births, hospital births, and unassisted births. There are breech births and twin births. The stories are meant to provide inspiration and education to anyone who is pregnant or interested in learning more about birth.
I also talk about birth photography and how my goals with the book are my same goals with photography - sharing inspiration and education and helping people realize that birth is really beautiful."
3 Key takeaways from the podcast that listeners will learn today:
- Birth Happens is available around the globe and is an affordable and accessible way to learn more about birth on your own time
- Birth is different for every person and every baby. It is mysterious and magical and reading lots of stories and listening to different birth story podcasts is a great way to prepare for birth.
- Birth doesn’t have to be scary and traumatic. It can be sometimes because it is always unpredictable, but it is also possible to have an empowering and beautiful birth.

Favorite baby product or new motherhood product? What would you buy for someone who was currently pregnant or a new parent?:
- Favorite motherhood product: a pumping bra! It took me three kids to discover the magic of being hands free by using a pumping bra! I literally always held my breast pumps to me and when my last baby was in NICU it was such a game changer to be able to use my hands!
In Kelli's words: "I am a registered nurse in the Kansas area who has a passion for all things birth. As a die hard patient advocate, I want people to know that their birth doesn’t have to be at the hands of a 9-5 doctor and that people have every right to have a say in their care as well as be able to make informed decisions about their birth without being talked down to or coerced."
