As a midwife, it is an honor to witness the incredible power of birthing people. Every birth path is unique, and sometimes, the truest act of love and strength is navigating a change in the plan.
This morning, I had the privilege of supporting an absolute warrior of a mother. We started her journey at home, where she gave absolutely *everything* she had. She worked so incredibly hard, riding every wave with a level of stamina and determination that left me in complete awe.
When the labor required us to pivot and transfer to the hospital, her strength didn’t waver, it just shifted. Ultimately, her sweet baby arrived via C-section, and it was a beautiful, sacred birth.
To this incredible mama: I am so endlessly proud of you. A C-section birth *is* birth. You surrendered to what your body and your baby needed, and you carried yourself with such grace through it all. Your strength is monumental, and your baby is so lucky to have you as their mother.
Thank you to the wonderful hospital team who collaborated with us to bring this miracle safely into the world. 💚
Welcome to the world, little one!
