Witnessing birth never ceases to leave me in absolute awe of the strength and determination women carry within. Over the past year, I’ve had the honour of walking alongside some of the most incredible women, seeing them in their most vulnerable, emotional, and powerful moments. It has truly been both a privilege and a gift.
Exactly one year ago, I had the joy of witnessing something very close to my heart, the birth of my niece. I was lucky enough to be with my big brother and sis in law’s side, as they welcomed their second baby into the world.
It was a fast birth, and we made it to the hospital with only minutes to spare before little Indy arrived. I absolutely adore the look on Lauren’s face in this moment, it’s priceless. This, for me, is one of the most powerful parts of birth: the moment a Mother meets their baby. There truly are no words.
However, I also want to acknowledge that not everyone has had this experience and if that is your story, I am deeply sorry.
