I stood up and was holding on to a chair I had in the bathroom when all of a sudden my water broke, I sat back on the toilet and the pressure continued to increase.

About Carmen Edwards

I am a mother of 6 wonderful children and wife. I spend most of my days doing research on pregnancy, birth and postpartum between working full-time and homeschooling. I loved my pregnancy and birth experiences and seeing the difference each pregnancy can bring to the same person. After the birth of our daughter Faith, I began my journey towards becoming a doula. I was blessed to attend births with a midwife while living in Florida and now that I live in Clarksville I bring that knowledge with me.
