Birth story podcasts and websites feature a curated range of birth experiences, and you can buy embossed leather “birth story” journals as a baby shower gift. Therefore, we hypothesized that meaning-making might be an important part of couples’ birth narratives, potentially promoting resilience in new parents. We visited couples at the hospital within a day or two of their infant’s birth, and audio-recorded them sharing their stories together. Overall, these results supported our initial hunch that meaning-making might be detectable in birth narratives and forecast parents’ psychological adjustment after birth. After all, the birth of a baby is also the birth of a story—and that story is well worth telling.
