April 25 - “A woman in birth is at once her most powerful, and most vulnerable. But any woman who has birthed unhindered understands that we are stronger than we know.” - Marcie Macari

Honored to have been apart this sweet family’s birth team 💚

Rest. Support. Oxytocin .. and then a fresh breath of relief followed by tears, because you finally get to hold the one you’ve been longing to meet.

This one, I’ll never forget.

The weeks leading up to this day began to get hard for this mama. But nothing worth having comes easy & little did she know, she had a TRIBE standing in the gap for her.

13 days passed her “due date” and we were here.. it was finally, really happening. From their home to the birth center, she labored through her contractions gracefully while being supported by the best doula & her amazing husband (who by the way, understood the assignment 👏🏽 ).

When things wanted to stall, her birth team came together in prayer so much that fear and doubt didn’t stand a chance.
Needless to say, we had expectations for only one outcome & God stopped by and showed himself faithful. This was a redemptive VBAC experience that has blessed this beautiful couple and their entire birth team & I am more than honored to have been apart of it.

This is hard... but you are strong and you can do hard things.

This mama & her entire birth team (including her two 🐶🥰) worked a hard 24+ hours to bring this baby earthside. She tapped into a level of strength she didn’t know she had and did an AMAZING job birthing her sweet baby boy.
