Ep 11 Erin's Ceremonial Birth

Empowered Birth, Love, and Life

From the sound bowls and gongs that her amazing husband was playing, to the indigenous midwife (student midwife) that attended this birth, Erin's birth was nothing short of a ceremony. How all birth should be in my opinion. Erin's birth started with PROM (premature rupture of the membranes ... aka her water breaking) and thankfully I had taken many courses on how to assist birth that begins like this. (Thank you spinning babies) One of the MAIN things I knew with PROM is that it happens in 10-13% of all births and labor contractions will usually begin within 12-24 hours and as long as you are staying hydrated there is no danger (hospital would say otherwise). Limiting or not doing cervical checks is a great way to prevent infection (which is the main risk once your water breaks) so we did just that... trusted her body and her baby and allowed her body to start laboring when it was ready.
She did incredible relaxing into trust (with ceremony experience she was no stranger to releasing fear and letting go) and getting rest. This set her up to have the incredible birth that followed! Can't wait for you to hear it. Enjoy!
