Ehyl🤍🫂
VBACs have a special place in my heart. My mamas know how passionate I am about the design of our body. I work closely with the bodyworkers of to promote healing from within. I’ve learned myself what an impact it makes when we are able to heal our nervous system.
There was a moment in Ehyl’s labor where she said “The afternoon light… just like my toddler’s birth.” I knew instantly she was telling herself and her body a familiar story. That she would not be able to do this. That her body was broken.
And I asked just one question. “Is your nervous system remembering?” and held space for all the authentic emotion that NEEDED to be released in that moment. She cried for the first time mama she had been, frightened and unsure. She wept for the unknown of this story. Her surroundings reminding her of a traumatic c section.
But there was a difference.
And that difference was HER. She had set herself up well. She had ferociously invested in herself. She’d done the work I presented to her. She’d chosen the right team. She’d chosen herself.
Labor picked up🤍 And we worked very hard together as a team of mama, baby, dad, and doula to find the right position, the right words, and the right way to push. And Ehyl had her baby the way she knew deep within her she was capable of.
I won’t ever forget the way Ehyl wept with sheer joy. The moment realization hit her eyes that she had DONE IT.
Proud. And thankful to have been able to witness it.
