Another gorgeous VBAC today…and on baby’s due date! Such strength, such beauty, such joy. 💪💙✨

“There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference: those afraid to try, and those afraid you will succeed.” —Ray Goforth

Moral of the Story: Never underestimate the power of a mama determined to have a successful VBAC. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Congratulations T family!!

🌿 It’s HBAC/VBAC season. This morning, a sweet little boy was born at home into the arms of his strong and resilient mama. What an honor to witness. 💫

✨ Thinking about a VBAC? ✨
Here’s what you should know:
⭐️ 90% of c-section moms are candidates.
⭐️ 60–80% are successful.
⭐️ Uterine rupture? Less than 1%.
⭐️ VBAC is often safer than a repeat cesarean.

Believe in yourself. Build your team. Hire the doula + midwife. You won’t regret it. 💪💫⁣⁣

Let’s be honest, I don’t think I could have captured a more perfect moment…this dad doing skin-to-skin with his son for the very first time. 🥹💙 Tell me this isn’t the sweetest thing to pop up on your feed today.

Almost 13 years ago, I had the honor of helping welcome doula baby #10 into the world. I’ll never forget his dad telling me, “When C turns 13, you’re going to be invited to his Bar Mitzvah.”

And today, that’s exactly where I ended up — celebrating his incredible milestone. ✨

To make the day even more special, I got to see six other doula babies I’ve supported over the years and we captured the sweetest photo together.

What a full-circle, heart-filling kind of day. 💕
