Micah Burgess has attended over 200 home or hospital births as a doula. She also has had six of her own birth experiences - five homebirths using natural birth methods and one emergency C-section just 27 weeks into her sixth pregnancy.

With her Texan charm and wit, Micah lets new and experienced moms everywhere see that the craziness that sometimes accompanies childbirth is neither odd nor unique - and is often quite funny.
