✨ VBAC at Home ✨

I am still feeling emotional about this birth yesterday.

I want to shout from every rooftop about how incredible and magical it was to watch a baby be born at home when we all though he was destined for the belly sunroof like his brother.

Being there for both pregnancies makes the success of this birth that must more special. Being on the rollercoaster with her while she laboured with her first baby was so intense! Is he coming, is he not? Then to have a c section after such a long, long labour at home was so heartbreaking but also was completely the right choice for that birth and that baby🧡

Like every baby is different, so every birth is too. Born in his Grandmother’s house on the most beautiful sunny day in 3 short hours🧡 welcome to the world little man, you are already so loved.

My job is so cool 😭✨
