True strength! Three days of labor and this first time mom never folded. She had the mighty strength of an elephant and maintained her focus. I’m so proud of you .chrystak

Birth is many things...it's hard work, requires a lot of planning, a lot of skilled hands and an on point birth team. This moma recognizes the way things could have went in a different setting. But she had a birth team of angels surrounding her. The doulas showed up in all white in synchronicity praying and touching, waxing and waning with her. The partner was supportive and attentive to her every need. And as for me, I watched and prayed and reminded her of the power she had within. Just as I can "see" she was reaching her breaking point I called upon her higher self to enter. We had discussed the need for this presence in her prenatal visits and it arrived right as she hit transition. All hands were on deck and we made it safely through the veil.

There's nothing like the beauty that surrounds me....I am a witness to it. On my way to an early morning birth I am reminded of the one thing that is constant in a world full of change....the Sun will rise and it will fall each day. What we do with the time in between is up to us.

YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR OWN BODY
YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR OWN BODY
YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR OWN BODY

I repeat YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR OWN BODY!

This mom completely stopped her labor for two hours as she braced herself mentally and spiritually for the task of "pushing". Labor did not stall...it stopped...no contractions, no spontaneous urge to push at 10cm, completely stopped. And as her provider, as long as she and baby were ok we patiently waited for her to be ready. Birth is not on a clock, it's not determined by the provider, it's determined by the passenger and the vehicle for the passage as to when it will happen...so until that moment we just patiently wait!

When your doula sees you as and treats you like a sister, your labor is a bit different. In this moment the doula allows mom to just let it all go into her arms. Sometimes just hearing or knowing, "Sis, I got you" are the magic words needed to keep labor progressing.

Choose your birth team accordingly!

Six weeks' visits are always bitter sweet. We come to the end of the journey so fast but with a precious gift at the end. This moma's birth story is one for the books. So many potential emergencies were prevented and avoided simply by me and her being in tune with one another and her trusting her body and me as her midwife. There's something about being successful with your birth preferences that gives a woman bragging rights for life! 🥰 Moma I salute you!

After a long or (in this case)short labor, what does your first postpartum meal look like? Will it be something light or something heavy? For most, it may start off as a light meal of fruit and a salad, and build up to a meal loaded with protein.

Ultimately, the ideal postpartum meal should consist of light proteins, vegetables and lots of fluids. Soups and smoothies provide a replenishment of fluids and energy lost during labor. If you have an excellent cook in the family, request your favorite meal as a celebration of the birth of your child! You worked hard for it, you earned it, treat yourself!

Baby Boy came in large and in charge demanding his just due! you are a Boss Moma! I tried to punk you but I knew it wouldn't work, no matter how hard it was you were determined to birth your baby at home, your way. Thank you for trusting me and following my cues and techniques to help him get here. You were a trooper through it all. Life will never be the same with this one around. He's an handsome man!
