I woke up with the urge to go take a warm bath. Jesse and I got into the bathtub and I felt so relaxed…and then the contractions started rushing in with gusto. Blood was coming out in little bits. Jesse told the midwives that things were really progressing. They got on their way, and we filled up the big blue birthing tub outside on the grass. I absolutely loved the smell of fresh grass and watched two little spring robins play around.

#birth story
 As the American resurgence of Home Birth began in the 1970s, there was little evidence of its safety. Today, we have wide support of the scientific literature to prove that a Home Birth is not only as safe, if not safer, a place to give birth, but offers a more gentle, compassionate and respectful birth to mom and baby. "It has never been scientifically proven that the hospital is a safer place than home for a woman who has had an uncomplicated pregnancy to have her baby. Studies of planned home births in developed countries with women who have had uncomplicated pregnancies have shown sickness and death rates for mother and baby equal to or better than hospital birth statistics for women with uncomplicated pregnancies." ~World Health Organization (WHO) report A Sister Site of the Trust Birth Initiative. | |
