All these babies are coming earlier than expected! Addalynn made her debut this last week đ€
Mom shared that there were so many things she prayed for with this delivery compared to her last. A move in the middle of pregnancy brought her under my care, and from there she leaned into trust and intention. She hoped for a full nightâs rest and after 9 hours of sleep, labor began. She prayed for a daytime birth⊠and that prayer was answered too.
You truly go time blind in birth. Was it hours? Minutes? Somewhere in between? Mom was incredulous realizing that her first daughter had only left about 1â1.5 hours before bringing Addalynn earthside. She was amazed she spent only around 30 minutes in the tub before birth, and even more surprised by how little pushing she did. One of her wishes was no coached pushingâeasy enough, since thatâs the norm in my space.
When the fetal ejection reflex began, it was strong and undeniable. Mom shared how much better her body felt this time compared to her first pushing experience, when she was encouraged to push before her body was truly ready. This time, she waited for the âgo timeâ⊠and her body knew exactly what to do.
After a sweet, short period with family, Addalynn made her debut in a mother-driven, intuition-guided birth. Mom and dad did incredible, and big sister is absolutely over the moon with her new role â€ïž
