Being invited to attend a woman’s first birth is always an honor 💚🌲💚
Last night, after a lot of hard work, this strong mama welcomed her baby boy earthside.
Birth asked a little extra of both of us — a shoulder dystocia required focused, skilled hands and calm teamwork — and together, we did exactly what was needed. I worked hard to get this baby safely into his mama’s arms, and she never stopped digging deep.
Everyone is healthy, stable, and snuggling 💚
This is an important reminder that while emergencies can happen at home births, they are often anticipated, recognized quickly, and managed effectively by a trained midwife — right where the family is.
So incredibly proud of this mama, her strength, her trust, and her beautiful beginning into motherhood. What a way to meet your first baby 💚🌲💚
