Magnolias Birth story:
After my water breaking Wednesday 2/11/26 at 11pm and then nothing progressing all day Thursday 2/12 after trying all the natural ways to start contractions at my midwifes birth center we ended up going to the hospital...
With my midwifes support and after the long day we came to the decision it was time to see baby so we got to the hospital and then after just a little bit of pitocin contractions started and then 2& 1/2 hours later baby girl came after 4 pushes she was out!!! Itâs been a whirlwind and wild ride but I am so thankful we had so much support to still try and go as natural as we could ...
We also went to a different hospital this time that has a good working relationship with my midwives and the nurses/ ob on staff were amazing and supportive... Helping me through labor the whole time and supporting my birth plan. We also had two of my friends who were at Hudsons birth and they both helped as doulas through the birth/ took pictures and helped while Eric helped me through as well (he is basically a doula now also đ).
It was amazing and wild (esp considering we were trying to have a home birth this time) but baby had other plans and also Godâs timing we think it was meant to be â¤ď¸. We truly felt so much peace every step of the way because every single time we were stressed or scared about a decision we prayed. Jesus was definitely with us đ.
