I’m so thankful to be able to share this! At 41 weeks, we arrived to a birth that was progressing quickly & we expected a baby very shortly after arrival. Our supplies were set up, 10cm dilated, & no time to set up a birth pool. Her water broke & we made our way to a spot to catch baby - except all of a sudden labor slowed dramatically. Contractions spaced. With the next contraction - meconium. 10 mins later the realization of baby being breech & confirmation. There was no head waiting to descend, baby’s bottom was coming first! We called for an additional team member, disclosed all the risks, options, and received consent from both mom & dad - they wanted to try to deliver at home first. However, despite so much strength and effort baby was just not coming down. The hard decision to transfer was made and baby girl joined the world soon after.

The other amazing part of what we do, is switching rolls at the drop of a hat. We build trust with our families & in this case - their sweet little boy joined us for a lunch date while we waited for sister. A rebozo turned baby carrier, tons of French fries, & a vanilla milkshake to celebrate! 🎉

This is what midwifery is about - giving options, building trust, & doing all that we can to help you achieve your birth without being afraid to call it when things aren’t working. No emergency, just change of plans with the support of the team you’ve had along the way.
