Kaitlyn’s First Birth
After waiting (sort of) patiently for this girl to come 11 days after her guess date, she finally decided she was ready. […]
Amy’s Birth… A first time mom
Everything after that point is an absolute blur. I kept telling myself to exist only in the present moment because the thought of doing this for any prolonged amount of time was simply unbearable. I remember asking Joe and Jen if our son would be born “today” – after almost 48 hours I needed some reassurance that I wouldn’t have to do this for another full day. It was probably 2 or 3 in the morning. They both assured me that yes, one way or another we would not do this for another 24 hours.
Shanelle’s Water Birth
Shanelle had envisioned giving birth in water from the first time she saw the deep soaking tubs at the birth center. When the time came, the water was soothing and relaxing and helped Shanelle bring her baby girl peacefully into the world. Mia was immideately placed on her mother’s chest for warmth and comfort. Shanelle shares her water birth story.
Marcie’s Breech Birth
I was encouraged to reach down and touch him “Is that his butt?!” Back to pushing. His butt came out, along with his legs, I felt them flop out. At that point I knew we were in the home stretch.

Then – instant relief.

Tori’s Healing VBAC
My daughters are 5 years apart. I didn’t intend to have more than one child because of the amount of trauma I went through giving birth to my first daughter. My C-section was not intended nor were all the interventions, (Pitocin, epidural, c-section) given to me. I didn’t know any better and I honestly thought the hospital nurses and doctors had me and my baby in their best interest. They didn’t give me any advice on how I could progress my labor naturally. They pushed the interventions…
Brooke’s Birth Story
“Birth is hard, painful, scary, and uncertain but God was present the whole time. I was able to sing worship songs to him between contractions and after Ben was in my arms.”
Kim’s “Missed” Induction
Meet Jonathan. Born at home, at 5:57am – 3 minutes before my scheduled hospital induction. So glad we didn’t go to the hospital that morning!
Maggie’s Breech Birth
Maggie was a first time mom that discovered her little one was breech when she was in labor. Most families are not given the option of attempting a vaginal birth. With the support of her midwives, Maggie felt confident in her body to safely deliver her baby. Here is her story…
