We are so proud of this MyBirth doula client who took “Stay with your Breath” to the next level. She was so calm and in the zone that she unintentionally had her baby at home instead of at the hospital with her midwife and doula!! The birth went so smoothly and mom and baby were great the entire time. We were also impressed with her husband, whose energy helped her feel safe and secure. What a birth- what a VBAC!! ♥️
