Eugenia’s Birth Story
After attending the Childbirth Education class with Katie Howze and Megan Scott at Growing Green Families - Eugenia and Jarred knew that they just had to have a doula for their journey!
Katie, Carlee, and Savanna were thrilled to join their birth team. After months of preparation and waiting patiently for labor to begin on its own, Eugenia and Jarred carefully considered and decided (with the support of their doulas!) for induction at 41+3
Whilst things were a slow start, which we know can be true with inductions- there was a shift in the air as night approached. Just as Carlee arrived at the hospital to support, Eugenia had entered into true active labor. Carlee watched as Eugenia openly and lovingly welcomed labor land. As she waltzed to and from the dilation station, she ventured deeper into herself and prayer. Often reciting the same prayer that she and her husband shared before he had major surgery just a year earlier. She melted into counter pressure and took direction so well. A true rockstar. In just a little over 6 hours, baby Amaru was born into his dad’s hands (with a little help from OB 😉) and handed to his mama. A true reminder that although birth plans may change sometimes, it does not change your power.
Congratulations to this beautiful family!!
Love, your Stronger Together team 🩵
