PAMELA PEERY, a stay-at-home mom, is a former lawyer, legal editor and law professor. For more information, please see babyalmosthome.com.

Peery started this book after her own birthing experience. Neither her childbirth class, her doctor nor her pregnancy books prepared her for the 30 hours of excruciating "early labor" contractions that were only supposed to last a few hours.

After the shock of being sent home from the hospital for "false" labor twice, she couldn't help but wonder if she was the only woman ever to have gone through this. Why didn't anyone tell her this could happen in normal labor?

So Peery created a website requesting childbirth stories – how labor and delivery plays out in the real world, what other women wished they'd known beforehand.

Peery spent the next few years pulling herself out of bed at 4 a.m. to pour over these birthing stories from women around the world, while her family slept. With tears in her eyes, she was able to relive wondrous and intimate moments of women she'd never met or even spoken to.

Turns out she wasn't the only one who didn't experience textbook childbirth.
