In the stillness of the early morning, around 2:00am, this powerful home birth journey began when her water broke at home—calm, quiet, and full of anticipation. From the very start, Mama met every contraction with strength and confidence. She didn’t just ride the waves… she bodied them.
As labor picked up and we reached transition, the sounds filling the room said it all. Her moans and groans were deep, instinctual, and certain—she was READY. And just as her body declared it, it didn’t take long at all. Shortly after 6:30am, in the space she intentionally chose, her baby made a beautiful entrance into the world.
As a repeat client, it meant everything to be her first choice for support again. With her first birth being precipitous, we were definitely a little on edge this time—saying prayers and half-joking that baby wouldn’t decide to arrive in the car on the way to the birth location. But we made it 😂 and what a victory that was.
Watching the relationship we’ve built over the years continue to blossom has been such a gift to me. I am beyond proud of both mom and dad for boldly going after the home birth they desired and trusting the process together.
Welcome to the world, sweet Baby Girl. Doula baby #49—an honor I’ll always hold close. 💕
