Beautiful mama Caroline delivered earlier this month. ❤️ Below is a reflection from Courtney, the midwife:
Earlier this month, I had a truly joyful weekend on call at the Birth Center. Three women gave birth—each carrying the weight of past birth trauma. Two women planning a VBAC (after having successful VBACs with us in the past!) and one who had experienced a traumatic home birth. All three entered labor holding those previous experiences with them. But they were also prepared for their births— mentally and physically strong!
All three women had powerful, positive births! Afterward, they shared how different this experience felt from their first births— using words like “joyous” and “redemptive.” Hearing that was incredibly moving. It made me deeply grateful that our birth center could be a common thread in their stories.
I can’t fully express how much I love supporting women through the empowering births they deserve, or how thankful I am that our birth center exists— a tiny gem in the Midland community! ❤️
