This baby girl threatened me THE ENTIRE time that she was going to Regional One. I reminded her that it isn’t an easy way to have a baby. She grudgingly came to walks and feet were swollen very bad. Vitals were great but Bella was doing a number on her.
Her secret sauce in having a vaginal non-medicated birth was not just her strong body and mind but her mother. Her mother, Tijuana is a reproductive justice advocate and knows the first birth sets the course of her health as a mother. The love that I witnessed between these two was palpable. Thank you for trusting us with your babies, Tijuana! Welcome home, Bella!
