Leigh Anne shares the story not only of Chloe's birth but of the birth of her first daughter, Phoebe, and the loss of her second baby. She describes waiting for labor to start, and her frustration when arriving at the hospital to find, to her surprise, that she was not ready to push. With the support of her midwife, her husband, and her friend, Leigh Anne manages a hard labor, made long and difficult because of a compound presentation, and gives birth to her sweet baby girl.
