It’s been nearly three weeks since we welcomed Nellie into the fam. Feeling exhausted but in good spirits and leaning into the confidence and trust that has come second time around 🧡.
Feeling incredibly grateful for my birth experience and the support we had from . I felt empowered, strong and connected to myself throughout the whole labour experience.
We were at home for most of it, my contractions starting as we all snuggled in bed in the morning together then going for a little local walk, setting up the space and the pool before things ramped up and until the early hours of the next day. Eventually after many hours of pushing and feeling like she wasn’t coming down, I made the call to transfer to hospital where Nellie was born via caesarean. Later learning there was a few factors making things a bit tougher for us 😅.
So proud of myself for remaining conscious, in my power and in tune with my intuition this time around. It’s made this postpartum period feel much lighter and clearer this time 🧡. We’re all slowly settling into life as a family of four and the new normal 🥰.
