Title: A mama zine collaboration
Description: This compzine features stories about birth by many mamazine writers. Stories describe hospital births and homebirths, c-sections and herb induced births. Midwives and doulas are present, as well as husbands, boyfriends, siblings, mothers, doctors, best friends, and nurses. Women describe their pregnancies and birth experiences as being joyful, frustrating, terrifying, painful, and soothing. They touch on the hardship of labor and postpartum depression as well as the brighter moments, and recount their misgivings and moments of fear. Young first-time mothers write as well as women who've already had several children. This zine also includes several comic contributions and poetry as well as prose.
