Little bit of a late post. I’ve been struggling hard this last week after my client and friend missed out on her home birth. She was a rockstar while she labored at home for hours. She was in an immense amount of pain and exhausted. We decided it was best to transfer. Unfortunately mom ended up with an emergency c section. Mom and baby are both safe and healthy and for that I am thankful. I’m struggling because she is struggling with a very traumatic birth. I’m grieving the loss of her home birth with her. I’m so compassionate and empathetic with my clients. I am going through it right there with them. Midwifery is a job that requires you to have a big heart and to be compassionate and empathetic with the families you serve. I am so blessed with the purpose midwifery and birth work have given me.
