We've had the honor of walking beside her for both of these babies. Two very different experiences. This one took a lot of faith and growing in ways we didn't know we needed. Thank you for allowing me into your world!

We had such a sweet journey together. They experienced such a beautiful transformation as parents, as partners, and their faith. It was amazing and beautiful to witness and play a small part in.

Each pregnancy and birth is it's own unique journey and story. This is baby number 4 and she had her own unique challenges that she took on and conquered one at a time. She let us support her and we were in awe of her strength and Faith. Watching this couple work together was magical. Thank you for having us. 🥰

Tonight on Midwife Monday we're talking about "fear in the birth space." ⁣

What does that phrase bring up for you?⁣

How did you face fear leading up to and during your birth?⁣
Did the fears of someone else affect your birth experience?⁣

Let's talk about it.

We had the sweetest little butter birth yesterday. She trusted her instincts, was encouraged and supported to listen to her body and baby. This baby decided to wait until his amazing Auntie was going to be there and his big sister needed to have her own birthday party. I got to be the midwife for both of these women. What a sweet reunion for us all. 🥰

Here is last week's Midwife Monday episode about VBACs! ⁣

I sat down with Zui, Julia, Kara, and Janell who have all had successful VBACs, and each have their own unique journey and birth story.⁣

We talked about:⁣
- Choosing a VBAC-supportive provider⁣
- Examining the real risk of uterine rupture vs. repeat C-sections⁣
- Telling positive VBAC stories⁣
- Responding to the bullying language sometimes used by medical professionals in a way that protects your bodily autonomy⁣
- Digging deeper into C-section and VBAC statistics⁣

It was a great conversation on a highly requested topic, and I'm so grateful for each of these powerful mamas for sharing their stories. 💜

Welcome earthside to our sweet little nugget. This little girl is so lucky to have this momma. There will be no better advocate for her. She will provide and protect her fiercely, and most of all love her. She got a little hung up and needed help getting out. It wasn't the birth her momma dreamed of. Yes, she's disappointed and has a right to grieve the loss of what she envisioned and wanted for herself and her baby. This grief and sadness does not diminish her joy with her sweet baby and being grateful that her and the baby are together safely. Thank you for trusting us with your care. We all love you!

Hi y'all, this is Ted. If you were waiting for midwife monday jaelin is having technical difficulties (if you know her, this will not surprise you) :-). She is talking to her guest on Zoom right now and is recording the session. She will post the recording when she is done. If you have questions, just post them here, and I think she will try to look into them during the Zoom call.
