A Homebirth Story
Yesterday morning at about 2:00am I got the call. It was the call I had been waiting for for about two weeks. She said “Hannah, my water just broke and I am having really strong contractions.” I said, “ok, I will be right over. She was having a homebirth and lives about 25 minutes away. Surprisingly, I was not nervous or anxious despite the fact that this was only my second “natural birth” and the other one I had attended was not truly “natural” (that story is for another time). I had been praying a lot that I would have the instincts to know what to do for her when the time came. I had also been praying very specifically that I would be able to attend all of her birth and that the baby would not come at a time that I could not get to her immediately due to other obligations.
