I\’m still processing this birth, but I like to write everything down as soon as I can so I don’t forget anything. I\’m just not ready for it all to be over yet. The pregnancy yes, but the birth was so quick! Monday, the 26th I scheduled a stretch and sweep with my midwife (Lyndi …
There is an unfortunate downside to un-medicated childbirth, and it’s not often talked about. Typically you only hear of the benefits-the hormone rush during and after labor, the easier recovery and the overwhelming satisfaction of delivering a baby. It’s not all good things though, and the downside has lasting effects that stretch across the rest …
This birth was so special and so amazing. It restored all of my faith in our hospital and how awesome they really can be. Talease was able to labor, unmedicated and unbothered in the tub and did such an amazing job. Her doula, Trisha Baird is one of my favorites, and it was beautiful to …

This was a strange birth for me-not because the birth itself was strange, but because it was weird to be at The Birth Sweet with a different midwife. I\’m usually there working as a Birth Assistant with Cyndi so being there photographing a birth with Liz was a totally different experience for me. This sweet …
I loved getting to be a part of this birth. This sweet Mama was so amazing-she was upbeat and so kind and welcoming. This was her second baby and her husband’s first so it was a big deal. She wanted so badly just for me to take pictures of her husband’s reaction when the baby …
This munchkin turns 3 today. 3. I can’t even believe it!! She has been the sweetest, cuddliest addition to our family and I\’m so excited to watch her grow. Her birth was a big deal for me-it sealed my fate of forever being on a natural birth high and grew my passion for un-medicated childbirth. …

I\’m really biased when it comes to choosing a care provider. I\’m going to say right as we start that I like the midwifery model of care so.much.better than the obstetric one. With that being said I have met plenty of horrible midwifes and many wonderful obstetricians. The important thing is choosing who is right …
