birth story, video in comments

slow, steady, confident, primal
first time mom. absolutely unreal.
read her story, watch her power.

“Going the alternative and natural route for my pregnancy and birth was not easy. The decision itself was a no brainer but the responsibility it took-required a level of discipline and mental fortitude that cracked me open. I had very minimal doctors appointments and chose to listen to my intuition on how me and my baby were doing. I really focused on getting adequate minerals and nutrients in my pregnancy and I really think that was a game changer.

I went into active labor around 10pm Friday the 19th. It was just me and my husband for the next 9 hours-I was moaning, groaning and moving through the contractions. My husband texted Beth to come around 7am Saturday morning. Expierencing labor unmedicated and physiologically was the most spiritual experience I’ve ever gone through. It was like I was meeting and releasing parts of myself that no longer serve me over and over again with each contraction. The thing that helped me push past any feelings of not being able to do it anymore was going over and over in my head my strong “why’s”as to why I was choosing this path.

Beth was a solid, grounded support for me. She sat as a silent “fly on the wall” and knew exactly when to leave the room and when to be there for me when I needed her.
Baby boy came out with a nuchal cord-me and my husband asked Beth to catch him so she was the one to unwrap that and hand him to me. Other than that, she was completely hands off and I am so eternally grateful for her wealth of knowledge and care. I was making low guttural sounds for most of my labor up until the end as you can hear in the video. I have never heard myself make these sounds before lol. But as soon as I felt his head I let myself quite literally scream him out-I was full on tongue out, feral mode but that’s exactly what my body needed to do.

Azariah was born surrounded by love and comfort. 💕”

you don’t need to give birth in this setting. If you WANT too and have full informed consent on what’s about to happen, more power to you.

but if I knew the full truth then, I would’ve never let this happen.

now I know. I’ve seen true power and peace come out of first time moms, at home, undisturbed.

We deserve better.

As a first time mom, it can be down right terrifying to birth outside of the system.

I often hear, “for my first I should birth in the hospital just in case.”

well what if I told you, that “just in case” is typically caused by the interventions that come with a hospital delivery?

from my 6+ years as a traveling labor & delivery nurse, I saw it all from the inside. I know how well the system is set up to make as much money as possible. and spoiler alert, it’s not in mom or baby’s best interest.

as a lay midwife, I am able to read the space the mother needs to fully surrender to labor.
maybe she needs a stern and blunt pep talk at the beginning. “Listen queen, the ONLY way out is THROUGH”
maybe she needs intimacy and alone time with her partner 😘 😈 “I’ll be making tea in the kitchen”
maybe she needs continuous support and reassurance. “you’re body is doing exactly what it needs too, breathe in power - breathe out baby”

it is an absolute HONOR to witness a first time mom break the chains of generational birth trauma and pave the way for new moms to come!

First time mama // wild pregnancy // birth video

“The natural route of pregnancy and childbirth was the biggest test of faith I’ve ever experienced. Throughout the entire process, we never went to a single doctors appointment or even got an ultrasound. We relied entirely on God & self education to get us through this process and it was the best decision we could have made for our family 🫶🏽
We had predicted that the baby would come mid November and we had no idea of the gender, though I had us & many others convinced that baby was going to be a girl 😝
On November 12th we had a natural birth inside of our home. My water broke at 3am and by 9:30am I called Beth and Trinity to come over because the contractions were intensifying.
Ty & I naturally created a rhythm together of breathing & praying during the contractions + resting & quiet in between. He reassured me that God was with me & that I was strong & capable 🙏🏼
I let my body push when it was ready to, rather than pushing on my own before my body was ready. I remembered all of what I had read and what other “natural” mommas had shared with me in the month’s leading up to this special day ✨
Around 3pm, our baby boy was born. Jahkai Tyler Thompson entered the world healthy and wide eyed. A gift from God, which is what Jahkai translates to ❤️
Faith is what lead us. Educating ourselves supported our belief that we could do this from the comfort of our home without pain meds or intervention from a doctor. Belief in our natural capabilities plus choosing to invite two other calm and knowledgeable presences really tied it all together 💞
We couldn’t be more grateful for this experience, how we went about it and for our support system. From those who brought us meals via the meal train & those who helped fund the midwife expenses, we are beyond blessed 🙏🏼❤️
My faith has grown exponentially since this day & somehow I’ve fallen even more in love with Ty. Being a mom is the greatest thing I’ve ever experienced & I have a feeling that this baby won’t be our last 😝”

no rush, no interventions, no interference.

no fear mongering, no cervical checks, no disturbances.

when you allow birth to go undisturbed, it unfolds intelligently. it unfolds instinctually. it progresses through ancient wisdom and primal processes.

when left alone, baby and mama can communicate through unseen pathways. mama and daddy can intimately connect and create a space of safety and love. an oxytocin rich environment.

You deserve a birth filled with support of this ancestral wisdom. Support that holds space for raw and real. Support that understands hands off. Support that understands removing disturbance from the birth space. Support that is family centered.

You deserve a birth filled with beauty & splendor.
