Shara’s Birth Story

One of the biggest reasons I chose the birth center was the support from the midwives. I’ve always felt that with the right care team, I could be talked through anything — even something as big and daunting as a natural birth. The midwives here gave me the confidence that I could do it without the need for a hospital setting. I truly believe that anyone can have a natural birth with the right support system.
My birth experience here was pretty smooth overall. One of the challenges we faced was laboring at home for over 10 hours, thinking things weren’t progressing. My contractions were about 10 minutes apart, and we started feeling mentally discouraged. But when we got to the birth center, I was almost ready to push and didn’t even realize it. That was a surprise, but it showed me how much progress my body had been making the whole time.
This birth experience shaped our family in meaningful ways. We value health and wellness, and knowing our girls were born through a more natural process without unnecessary interventions gives me confidence in their long-term health. There wasn’t trauma or stress introduced into their little bodies during birth, which makes me feel more secure as they grow up.
My postpartum recovery this time has been much easier than with my first. I’ve even started doing CrossFit workouts again with a friend. I’m still healing, but I’m back to doing the activities I love.
I would absolutely recommend coming in for a consultation, even if you’re just curious. I wasn’t sure about doing a home birth with my first, but after meeting the midwives and seeing the environment, I felt so comfortable. If there’s even a small part of you that’s curious about birth centers, take a tour and meet the team. You’ll see the care they provide firsthand, and it might surprise you how empowering the experience can be. I think more moms would feel confident choosing this path if they just gave it a chance.
