Full review 🌞
When my husband and I learned we were expecting our first baby, we initially thought following the traditional path was the best choice (& that’s what everyone does, right). However, as we started researching, we became intrigued by the idea of working with a midwife instead of a standard OB. After a visit with our OB, where we felt more like we were being told what to do rather than having an open discussion about our preferences and comfort levels, we made the decision to switch completely to midwifery. Understandably, we felt some hesitation at first, especially with all the opinions from friends and family. In full bloom came highly recommended to me, and we focused on what felt right for our family and our baby (I encourage you to do your own research). Looking back, we are incredibly grateful for that decision. Throughout my pregnancy, having Hannah and Carolyn as my midwives provided a sense of comfort and relaxation. They became friends during this journey, rather than just medical providers with a checklist and motive.
The experience of having a home birth was nothing short of incredible. I felt genuinely cared for and fortunate to have such a beautiful first birth with our little girl. It was unlike the stories I had heard, it wasn’t scary, it was beautiful. For anyone considering a home birth, I wholeheartedly encourage you to do your research, meet with Hannah or Carolyn, and trust your instincts and your body. I’m so happy I made that choice, and I look forward to welcoming my next baby with them whenever that may be!!
