✨home birth pt.4✨

the final chapter in this birth. although this was the “speediest” part of my birth, the emotions and sensations were the strongest. these moments are the ones I want to remember forever and to share with others who desire a home birth.

i was scared but i was surrounded by people who believed in me. that moment of fear was replaced minutes later with complete joy and appreciation for my body. there is no feeling compared to that moment when you hold your baby in your arms for the first time. thanks to my friend and brilliant photographer, - i will be reminded of these emotions each time i see these photos.

it was my intention to share my experience so that others feel empowered to seek their desired birth experience. whether there be restrictions or complications, i believe there can be small ways to find peace through advocacy and intentionality. and in the end, a healthy mom and baby is the most important thing.

✨home birth pt. 3✨.

active labor. it was intense — there’s no other way for me to describe it. there were moments when I felt like there was no break, no release. i relied on Matt and on my birth team to encourage me through counter pressure and words.

the transition between early labor and active labor flipped like a switch. one moment I was walking around and talking, the next moment I was on my knees seeking a release. at 3:25 AM, I took a short video on my phone — the last video of my pregnant belly. at 3:41 AM, when June arrived, I was fully in birth mode. the only thing I was focused on was my breathing and the inner dialogue of my mind.

✨home birth pt. 2✨

for weeks leading up to this birth, I often thought and wondering HOW labor would start. only 10% of births begin with a rupture of membranes, aka “water breaking”, so instead I waited in anticipation of contractions that would gradually intensify.

one of my greatest fears was prodromal labor, or false labor. i worried that I would be in labor, everyone would be at our house, and then all contractions would stop. this fear definitely lingered in my mind as contractions picked up. in the end, I’m glad that Matt used his intuition to assess the change in labor or who knows what might happen 🙃

✨home birth pt 1✨.

since my first pregnancy, I’ve been amazed by birth. i love reading and listening to women tell their birth stories because each story is unique, special and totally unpredictable.

i never shared my first two birth stories publicly but I feel compelled to share this one in hopes that it empowers maybe just one family to advocate for their desired birth.

so.. let’s take it from the beginning.

Let’s talk about the pH of water and how it affects your health. Mentioning pH catapults most of you back to high school chemistry causing a glazed look and some confusion. But today, we’ll break this down and explain why the pH of water is so important to your health. Let’s start with the definition of pH: the measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution; also the measurement of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. The lower end of the scale represents acidic water and the higher end of the scale represents alkaline water.

By now you’ve encountered bottled water that has the pH advertised right on the label and wondered whether it was just clever marketing or actually important. Well, it is important. The body maintains a normal blood pH of anywhere from 7.35 to 7.45. Anything that fluctuates outside of the normal range is indicative of illness. If the pH of the blood is below 7.35, acidosis occurs and inversely, anything above 7.45 indicates alkalosis. These are serious conditions occurring as a result of dysfunction in either the lungs or the kidneys, being respiratory or metabolic.

So now you can see how important the pH of your water really is in regards to your overall health, specifically alkaline water. But what is the best and most cost efficient alkaline water available? 🤔

So let’s talk about something a little “taboo”.. coffee enemas.

When I first heard of coffee enemas I thought people were CRAZY. “You stick coffee where?!” It wasn’t for me. But through some research I began to understand the healing properties of this practice.

Did you know that coffee enemas:
- Reduce levels of toxicity by up to 600%
- Clean and heal the colon
- Help with depression, bad moods, & sluggishness
- Detoxify the liver and help repair the liver
- Increase energy levels, improve mental clarity and mood.
- Help eliminate parasites and candida

A year ago, this would’ve been WAY out of my comfort zone to do and even more out of my comfort zone to SHARE. But.. you don’t know until YOU KNOW. If you’re curious and want to know more, let’s chat! Drop a ☕️ in the comments and I’ll share some of my favorite resources!
