The residual effects of birth trauma are beyond description. It is absolutely gutwrenching to watch what women go through in trying to heal from prior betrayal and deception and blatant abuse from previous care providers. It’s beyond disturbing when the trauma is a result of abuse from a prior Midwife. It’s taken two pregnancies and births for this woman to get this far in her recovery. Tonight I was honored to watch a woman who had been so deeply wounded reach down and birth, her own 10 pound baby into her hands without any interruption. I watched with tears in my eyes and a smile on my face as she greeted her baby and looked at her husband And said I caught my own baby! I’ve always wanted to catch my own baby! Nobody else ever let me! Oh my gosh, I caught my own baby! And then she looked at me and said thank you. I only did for her. What should have been doneall along. I gave her the space and the encouragement and the opportunity to do what should’ve always been done. And she caught her own baby ❤️

So many wonderful fresh new people have joined this world this month. Many beautiful births and wonderful blessings. Being a midwife means that you see the joys and the sorrows. While many are basking in newborn scent, others are grieving for the littlest footprints that have left massive imprints on their hearts. Midwives travel these roads with the women they serve. It’s a blessing and burden that comes with the midwife heart. Thank you Lord for your favor, grace and strength in this season.

And baby makes 6!! This was their first homebirth after multiple hospital births that all had the same pattern of induced labors and unnecessary interventions. It’s always fun to see how the journey unfolds and what the journey to homebirth looks like.

11:55pm: incoming call to midwife to inform her of contractions about 10 minutes apart lasting about a minute. Been going on for about a half hour. Client is a fair distance away so I get on the road. midwife en route by 12:20am.
1:12am: call to inform midwife that client’s water broke and update that contractions have been about 2 minutes apart lasting a minute or so for about a half hour. As the midwife tries to get more information, client announces a mild pushing urge. Midwife stays on the phone while continuing the drive. Client follows instructions to breathe through contractions and follow her body. Daddy catches baby boy at 1:49am while midwife coaches. Midwife arrives half hour later. Mom and baby are great! Client says hello and says “you tried to tell me that it could be fast but I didn’t realize you meant that fast.” 🤷🏻‍♀️ 😂 dad just says, “that was cool!”

Sometimes the biggest part of a labor is just waiting for the moment that it takes off. The bloody show and irregular but strong contractions go on all day long. Moms are sent into a tail spin of frustration when the contractions come on strong and then fizzle out but don’t go away. We try several things to encourage labor over the next several hours. Mom’s body is very ready but baby’s just not quite there. Finally after hours of anticipation, the contractions get strong and stay. The baby’s born in a matter of an hour (sometimes less) and I think, this is why I stayed close! I talk mom through catching her baby and bringing him up to her chest. I watch daddy greet him and big brother and big sister marvel at how cute he is. I watch a family celebrate together. I watch mommy count finger and toes and say hello. I watch the cat consider once again the ramifications of trying to jump onto the side of the birth pool and redirect him towards the couch. I watch the dogs come close and sniff the air, trying to understand what exactly is happening. They know it’s a good thing but aren’t sure about the crying from the newborn. I watch and direct as mom delivers the placenta and then settles back into the pool seat to begin nursing her this fresh, sweet person. I can’t help but smile. How precious it all is…. And a good reminder that there’s a time to be born and we often have to just wait for it so that we can bask in it.

This was my third time serving this precious family 💜 Daddy’s 3rd time catching his own baby and my first time getting there BEFORE the baby arrived. I had to make sure that I didn’t interfere with the couple’s familiarity with their own birthing processes and just support what they have done beautifully each time.

Homebirth after 1 Cesarean sections! This mom was told that she had to be induced, had failure to progress and then was told that she would have to birth surgically for all future babies. She started this labor spontaneously, labored and birthed her baby In 4 and a half hours. No tears. No surgery. Just one very capable woman who needed the opportunity.

First time momma rocked her homebirth in a squat position! Interestingly, this momma began spontaneously pushing at 4cms. She couldn’t stop herself. She didn’t have to. She didn’t hinder her progress. She followed her body. For hours she pushed only as much as her body demanded. The result was a Beautiful birth!
