Their story…
Wednesday 8:00 p.m. Labor started
11:00 p.m. Notify the midwife – we’re in early labor
4:00 a.m. Midwife arrives
Paisley’s arrival!
Crowning and pushing!
Birthing the placenta
Paisley weighed 8 pounds and 6 ounces and came out with a full head of jet black hair
Our birth was absolutely incredible. It went exactly how we would have imagined in the best case scenario.
Our birth lasted 16 hours start to finish
I am so thrilled that our birth was free of interventions and free of complications for both myself and Paisley! I am so happy with how perfectly everything went and so thankful for how respected and protected I felt by the people I had invited into my birth experience. Brenda showed an incredible calming energy and really made me feel safe. John’s support was something I can’t describe in words.
