Mayra’s Story

Mar 14, 2018 | Breast feeding, Doula Attended, Empowered, First Birth, Hospital Birth, Ring of Fire, Spiritual, Vaginal Birth

On Thursday, July 20th I sat in my office at work looking around feeling super anxious and ready for Giselle to be here. I was 39 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I had contractions come and go but they would always subside. I was staying super active. I was taking the...

Mar 7, 2018 | Breast feeding, Cervical lip, Exhaustion, Home birth, Long Labor, Midwife Attended, Ring of Fire

This is the story of my homebirth – a 78 hour labor. Monday morning we had our Bradley class review. When we left, I told Joey that I felt better and much more confident about the baby coming. That night, I went to bed and spent most of the night dreaming I was...

Roberta’s Story

Jun 15, 2015 | Empowered, First Birth, Hospital Birth, HypnoBirthing, Partner Attended, Ring of Fire, Vaginal Birth

Paala’s Story

May 5, 2014 | Breast feeding, Empowered, Fast labor, Home birth, Partner Attended, Ring of Fire, Siblings, Third birth, Vaginal Birth

To understand my birth story, I should really start with my journey into motherhood until now. As I sit in bed here with my newborn on my chest resting not 10 feet from the place in which my child was born, I am filled with so much love and faith in my body and my new...
