the newborn exam can be such a special moment, especially when it gets to happen at home. the whole family crowded around to meet the new community member, eagerly awaiting to hear just how big they are. a midwife and their assistant work from the end of the bed, in arm’s reach of the new parents.
when i pictured my homebirth, THIS was the moment i dreamt about. the joy, the pride, the support- and i look forward to it with every birth i attend 🧡✨
