My Labor Pains Were Worse Than Yours

Ever wonder why being the independent woman we are told we should be often times simply leads to us battling our problems alone, or worse, competing with other women? Why, at every single baby shower, do many women share their harsher tale of labor and delivery in unnecessary one-upmanship? Why most women are left with feelings of unworthiness?

We often find ourselves facing struggles alone and isolated in a society where women are made to feel they must be independent to be productive. God did not intend for us to walk through our battles without support. Join women from different backgrounds as they come together to share their own experiences of pain, perseverance, and encouragement first-hand and in heartwarming detail. We hope that through their stories, you find you are not alone. Because we all have struggled and we all have survived; we need to learn to struggle and survive together.
