I'm so excited
to share my client Katrina's sacred home birth story, beautifully written
herself. My sole purpose as a doula in this birth was supporting the momma
during Labor. What made it so inspiring to be a part of was that physical
support was all she needed. In all other areas she was fully prepared!
This woman is a
fabulous example of getting in touch with and listening to the divine feminine
within. As you read about her birth you will soon see the complete
responsibility she took for each and every aspect of her birth: the emotional,
physical, energetic, informational, and more.
I would also
like to highlight the fact that her baby was originally in the posterior position.
I'm so proud to know a woman who educated herself so well that she knew she
could turn the baby herself with no medical intervention!
Posterior babies
that go undetected can lead to very long labors and hard births. However if you
are experiencing this a Doula or home birth midwife would help you to get in a
variety of positions known to help a baby move into optimal fetal positioning
in order to restart a halted or slow labor and possibly save you from an
unnecessary C-section.
Wait to go
Katrina for knowing just what to do in order to aid her dilation and have a
beautiful birth. A side note: Katrina is also a Doula herself.
