What a ride this birth was! This mama transferred into our care at the end of her pregnancy, wanting to pursue a VBAC in the comfort of her home. The very next day she went into labor & we met for the first time between her early labor contractions 😅 Her body slowly but steadily opened, and she worked through each phase of labor with so much determination, patience & trust in the process. With every check in we found her more progressed, just needing plenty of time to get to the next step of labor. For close to three days she labored, and we waited so patiently alongside of her, gently encouraging, guiding and holding space for her and her family. When she was fully dilated, we all celebrated & waited for the spontaneous urge to push. Her contractions spaced out so much though, her body’s way of telling us she was tired. And after trying every trick in our bag, with great consideration, we all agreed it was best to transfer in for some assistance in the hospital. After a few more hours with pitocin on board, she had the quickest pushing phase and birthed the most beautiful baby girl. Talk about a hard earned birth! We celebrated her victorious VBAC, totally in awe of her grit & determination. This mother is an absolute force. Your midwives love you baby Estella 💕
