Once I was settled, we established feeding, and he latched beautifully! By 4 am, we were ready to go to sleep and the house was quiet.
It was the PERFECT birth. God was there with me the entire time and I had the BEST birth team. Ayden came up in the morning to a new baby brother 🤍

By 1:30am, no progress and I was starting to lose it a bit. So Stacey did the first check of the night and turns out I had a cervical lip in the way. Stacey and Tina suggested a couple of awful positions to try and get the lip to move. First a squat, then some position were my feet were hanging off the side of the pool, arms over the other side and just my belly was in the water. All the while I was advised to breathe through the contractions.That was the hardest part of the entire process.

But 10 mins later I was able to actively push! Tina and John by my side, my worship music in the background, the best midwife and RN, plus a doula in training, it was perfect. It was time!! I pushed for 9 mins, at 1:59am his head was born and the cord was around his neck, but they didn’t tell me till later.
Then, at exactly 2AM, my beautiful baby boy came out of me, up out of the water and onto me, full cries!! “He’s here” I cried as I finally got to hold my baby.
We chilled in the pool for a while till John cut the cord 10 mins after he was born. I got a shot to help the placenta come out. I got helped to my bed and shortly after my placenta came out! I got helped into the shower to rinse off and it was finally time to just later in bed and hold my baby. John got some skin to skin while I was getting situated.

June 14th, woke up extremely sore, but I was excited because it was the big truck petting zoo and Ayden was so excited to go. Figured I wasn’t gonna go into labor anyways so might as well enjoy a family day out.

I had a couple very strong contractions on the way there but I didn’t even let myself get excited. Came home and did more exercises, ordered food, then around 6 had a bath. John took Ayden outside and I sat in the tub. I found a Christian hypnobirth audio on my YouTube music and figured why not. I closed my eyes and listened. I had a contraction. 3 mins later, another. And they stayed consistent. I figured if they would stay this way once I got out of the water, I’d shoot Tina (Doula) a text to update. As I was getting dressed they kept coming and I was timing them. They were lasting between 40 seconds to 1 min long each time. The pressure in my back was pretty intense too! I went outside to let John know and then I texted Tina at 6:50pm. They very slowly progressed and got more intense.

We were sitting on the couch, and then all of a sudden I felt like I had p*ed myself, my water broke at exactly 10 pm! We figured we would see if it would progess a little bit more before calling Stacey. The contractions got a bit stronger and Tina gave me a comb to grab during contractions, The space was set up, pool was getting filled, and I texted Stacey and she got to my house at 10:45pm. I continued to labour leaning over the counter as they got the pool totally ready and a good temperature!
I was in my own world, my praise and worship going and Tina by my side the whole time whole John was helping with the pool. By 11:40pm, I was ready to get into the pool. I leaned over the side and just breathed through contractions, low moans to get baby to go down.
Around 12:15 am, they wanted me to get out to p*e, Brantleys heart rate was up a bit from the water being quite warm.

“Dani kept me calm through the most intense hours, guided me through every contraction, and gave me an incredible sense of safety during the birth of my son / her nephew.
I am in awe of her composure, her strength, and the way she cared for me with such love and grace.
Having her there to take care of my family in our most vulnerable moments meant more to me than words can ever express.
There is truly no one else I would have rather had by my side than my sister the midwife, Dani”
