From Doula to Mama: My Unscripted Birth Journey – Part Three
After hours of listening to my body, pushing, and changing positions, I was ready to meet our baby. With my midwife’s reassurance and my husband’s hand on our baby’s crowning head, we embraced the final moments of labor together. Our baby boy arrived, and in those precious seconds, our lives were forever changed. From his quiet arrival to his first cry, these moments of love and strength will stay with us forever. Join me in Part Three of my unscripted birth story as I share the final stages of labor and the pure joy of meeting our little one.
From Doula to Mama: My Unscripted Birth Journey – Part Two
It was 6 am on Monday, June 17th, 2024. After five days of my water being ruptured with no strong signs of labor, I had settled into a calm state of denial. It was a quiet comfort, allowing me to enjoy a peaceful Father’s Day with my husband and giving us both the rest we needed before things intensified.
The hours felt like minutes as my body worked in harmony with the baby, moving in and out of the birth pool, trusting my instincts. By 10:30 am, I was laboring in bed, feeling closer to meeting my little one.
