This was one of those surprising twists you get from first time moms occasionally! Thankfully Sam walked in at just the right time! Thank you, Lord!
Such a privilege to support them!
Next up is another first-time mom!
This couple drove over 2 hours to receive care with Miracle Moments Midwifery—and I’m so glad they did. They were an absolute blast to work with and had quite the birth story!
A little background before we jump in…
This was one of those rare days where I had two clients in labor at the same time. It doesn’t happen often—but when it does, things can get interesting! This client was planning a birth center birth, and my other client was planning a home birth.
My home birth client was ready for admission, and I knew this mom was getting close too—although I hadn’t gotten the call yet. I checked in with my home birth client, and she was more than willing to meet at the birth center instead (we did have a backup midwife ready if needed).
So, I walked into the birth center with a plan in place.
What I didn’t expect… was how fast things were about to move.
This client had arrived just about 5 minutes before me, planning to labor a bit with her doula—not for admission yet. I passed dad in the hallway, and he casually mentioned he thought baby might be coming soon. I thought, “Great! Perfect timing.”
I headed back to connect with Bethany (doula)… and suddenly heard mom calmly say that baby’s head was right there, while Bethany was urgently trying to call me 😅
Perfect timing, indeed.
I walked into the room—and within about 5 minutes, baby was in mom’s arms.
So yes… baby was, in fact, right there 🤣🙌
This mom absolutely rocked her birth, and I’m already looking forward to the next time I get to walk alongside this family again.
Welcome to the world, Benton—you are the perfect addition to such a sweet couple 🤍
