Did you know that Panda bears can swim?
This gorgeous little girl swam in to the world and straight in to the arms of her amazing mother.
Ten little toes
Is there anything cuter than baby feet?
This little lady certainly kept the team on their toes and add a little excitement to their New Year’s Eve when she decided to arrive feet and bottom first! Despite the surprise this strong mother birthed her baby beautifully and safely in to the world.
A cup of tea and a brownie
“On the morning of my due date I had a few mild cramps which came and went with me hardly even noticing them. I put it down to ‘due date excitement’! I had a sweep booked in with Emily at around midday and I was excited that at the prospect of it possibly starting things off. I took my toddler to nursery and my husband and I went out for breakfast to enjoy some child-free time before the next baby came along. Emily and a student midwife came over after lunch at around 1:30pm, and after a cup of tea and a lovely chat she did the sweep for me. She said I was already 3cms dilated and my cervix was fully effaced!! What!? My body had been up to all sorts of things without me even knowing! Emily said that we would very likely have our baby today and said to call the team when things ramped up, and advised that we inflate the birthing pool. Having the sweep at home was much more relaxing than at hospital (if you can call a sweep relaxing!?).
Welcome little one
It was such a pleasure and privilege to observe this lovely family welcome this little lady calmly in to the world at home in the pool last night.
What a fantastic start to 2020!
Home comforts
We said goodbye to this lovely family today. It was an absolute pleasure to support them as they navigate their choices and developed a birth plan that felt right for them #HomeVBAC
A surprise gift
Our week got off to a brilliant start with this gorgeous little boy arriving earthside in the early hours of the morning while his big brother slept soundly in the next room. Such a privilege to see the wonder on big brothers face when he came in to his parents room on waking discovered the special gift thy had been “delivered” in the night! #NotSanta #homebirthjusthappened #continuity
