When one of my dearest friends told me she wanted to use my services, I already knew how this birth would go — strong-willed, determined, and on her terms. That’s just who she is, and I wouldn’t expect anything less.
She carried this little one all the way to 40 weeks and 4 days — the longest pregnancy she’s ever sustained. Every extra day just proved how committed she was to letting her baby come in her own perfect timing.
When labor began, it moved fast. By the time I arrived at the hospital around 9:30 in the morning, things were already in full swing. And, as if this birth wasn’t special enough already, her little one would go down as the 100th baby of the month at this hospital, baby girl is already breaking records !
This mama didn’t waste any time. Her body worked beautifully, and before long, it was time to meet her baby. Just four strong pushes later, at 12:15 pm, her little girl came roaring into the world and trust me, she’s got some lungs on her !
Over the years, this mama and I have had plenty of moments where we’ve yelled at each other, but always in love. Because when I’m in that delivery room, I’m not just the doula. I’m also the sister who’s going to look you in the eye and remind you of exactly how powerful you are.
And powerful she was. She showed up for herself, for her baby, and for this birth with every ounce of strength she had. It was fast, it was fierce, and it was absolutely beautiful.
Please help me welcome Doula Baby #42 to the world. You were born in love, surrounded by strength and you made history as baby number 100 for the month !
