1st Tabuk Baby :)

Yesterday a patient came in to the clinic reporting some contractions. She had never been to AGOG (abundant grace of god) clinic, so I went through the whole initial prenatal with her and then did a labor check in. She was in early labor on the brink of entering the active phase.

She went home with her aunt to eat some lunch for a few hours and came back and we hung out for the afternoon, her contractions getting stronger, but still having long periods in between them.

Her baby boy was born at 12:37am, after a difficult pushing stage, but she handled it like a champ.

It's ALmost like a homebirth in the states! except for the fact that you've never met her before, and you did an initial in latent labour... but chilling out with her, really being with her during her whole labour! That's super cool. I'm so glad you had that experience! and YEAH! Another baby/miracle from God. -hope all is well out there.

Check out New Birth Midwifery!

New Birth Midwifery is my home birth practice where I strive to help families enjoy and learn many things through their pregnancies, birth and postpartum periods. There are two pieces that tie together to make the name that I would like to share.

As I was asking the Lord for a name for my practice in June of 2010, I felt like He lead me to think of the verse 2 Corinthians 5:17 where it talks about when we accept Christ we become new creations - the old has gone, the new has come!

Part 2 of the name is although midwifery is one of the oldest professions in the book, it has gone through many, many trials and at one point in history almost completely dissapeared. Now, however it is making a comeback as more and more women are realizing that to be heard they need to speak up. So although midwives have been around for a very long time, the newness in birth comes from women realizing there is a "new" way to give birth - a gentler, more women centered way. One where they don't need to fight for their rights for a natural, baby friendly delivery, one where they can know the one caring for them during their pregnancy will be the one to care for them during the very intimate time of giving birth.

And so - I give you New Birth Midwifery - a practice that helps women give birth naturally and safely in their own homes. Check out the website for more information: www.newbirthmidwifery.com.
