JessicaCT's Birth Story


Liam David ~
Born 7/8/12 @ 38wks 6days ~ Weighing 7lbs 7oz @ 21in long!

I started having contractions at 2 am. Took a shower at 5, water broke at 530 just as i stepped out of the shower. Contractions picked up fast and hard. My husband had our midwife on the phone, and she was on her way.( planned water home birth). Stepped in birth tub while it was filling up, had a couple more very painful contractions. Midwife arrived at 6 and by 6:11, our baby was born.
It was an intense and fast labor. My first took 18 hrs of labor in the hospital, with epidural. This was an amazing experience and I recommend a home birth to anyone.
