This sweet family had two hospital births with epidurals prior to this pregnancy and desired an unmedicated home birth this time… just two days after their home visit with their fabulous midwife and a couple weeks before they expected, she went into labor. Active labor kicked up just as she put her girls down for naps and when they woke up a few hours later they had a new baby brother! This family did a beautiful job supporting mom as she labored in a whirlwind few hours.
This one will forever hold a special place in my heart. 🤍 Doulas aren’t “supposed” to catch babies but as always, babies come when babies come and this was the first client we’ve had where the baby came before midwives could make it (no fault of theirs - she hit the road as soon as we called but this boy just couldn’t wait 😆). Praising God for this precious boy. Congratulations, “O” family!!
