On the 8th of November, our daughter Ida arrived exactly on her due date - in a breech position, and in the most beautiful, raw, and humbling journey we’ve ever lived.
We chose to give birth at Bumi Sehat, a natural birth center in Bali, where we were supported by midwifes and doulas whose experience and calm wisdom guided us through every step. Being in a place that respected our values, our choices, and the natural rhythm of birth made all the difference. We felt safe, respected, and held - and for us, this is what birth should be.
From Ewelina:
“I believe every woman deserves a birth environment where she feels safe, supported, and surrounded by people she trusts. We all carry fears around birth, I did too. But when the moment came, something very grounded and instinctive took over. It was difficult, yes. It was long, yes. But it was also incredibly empowering and beautiful. With the right support, birth becomes a deeply strengthening experience, not something to fear.”
From Rohil:
“Being present with Ewelina through the whole birth was one of the most powerful experiences of my life. I witnessed her go through a level of challenge and intensity I cannot even describe, and she met it with so much strength, love, and devotion. My role was simply to be there: to hold her, and give her all the love and presence I could. Watching her bring Ida into the world left me with a deep respect for her, and for all women.”
We are endlessly grateful for the care and guidance we received, and for the safe environment that allowed the birth to unfold naturally, even with Ida in breech position. This experience showed us how beautiful and empowering birth can be when a woman is supported, trusted, and not rushed or interfered with.
Welcome to the world, our beloved Ida 🤍
You arrived in the most unforgettable way.
