Jaimin & Chris’s Birth Story
Sometime around 5pm on June 24th, which is my father in law's birthday; we were having a socially-distanced celebration in our driveway when I realized I was having some very mild waves. I started to count them, they were occurring every five minutes or so and lasting about ten seconds. They were so mild, I kept thinking it's going to be days and days of this until I get to see my baby!
“What did it mean to me to choose to birth my baby at home?
Simply, homebirth gave me something I did not even realize had been taken away.
A gift beyond imagining, as a woman, as a mother, as a human being. It is an awesome gift in every respect; to the whole family, mending one mother at a time all the losses humanity suffers. A deep healing connection in a culture bent on disconnecting us from our souls, ourselves and each other. That is the gift home birth was to me and my family.”
