  • I love labor and delivery nurses! They are the best. ❤️ Tag your favorite nurse in the comments. :)⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Reposting @coastal_life_photos:⠀ ...⠀ "It is National Nurses' Week, and I thought I would send a huge shout out to all the amazing nurses I have the privilege to work with in labour and delivery in the last 2 years.❤️ Nurses who spend their days and night supporting women in labour, who hold their hands, brush the hair out their eyes, and hold cool clothes to their foreheads. Nurses who comfort a momma during transition, and cheer them on when they start to push. Nurses who patiently help first time moms navigate swaddling, breastfeeding and holding their new bundle, and shed a few tears of joy when families welcome their new additions And ones who greet each family with the same enthusiasm as the one before. ⠀ You are truly an amazing group! Thank you for welcoming me in to your space, and allowing me to document the arrival of these tiny humans for their parents! You are a gift, and I appreciate all that you do. 💕⠀ ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #giftofgivinglife #birthbook #birthbooks #pregnant #pregnancy #9months #birth #childbirth #spiritualbirth

  • Heather one of our amazing authors had a Blessing Way hosted by one of our other authors. Wish we could have all been there. Hugs!⠀ .⠀ Reposting @womeninthescriptures:⠀ ...⠀ "Last weekend my wonderful friend Robyn @allgoodtreasuresinheaven hosted a mother’s circle for me, in honor of my baby’s upcoming birth. It was such a sweet night and it meant so much to me to be surrounded by good friends who love me. Especially to see two of my good friends from high school! We ate yummy food, massaged my (swollen) feet and they each gave me a bead or a charm along with a message of love, support and encouragement for birth and the adventure of becoming a mother to SIX children. I’ll put them on a bracelet to wear during labor. 🌹⠀ I so needed this gathering and support. It takes SO much strength and courage to bring children into the world. Pregnancy, labor and motherhood tap depths of your soul you rarely touch and it can be scary, painful and just plain hard. It was wonderful to be reminded, by women I love and admire, of the beauty and sanctity of birth. It can be hard when you are in the midst of the daily challenge of life to remember the bigger picture... so I was so grateful for their beautiful words and the strength they gave me! 🌹⠀ It is incredible to think that this will be my sixth time bringing a little spirit through the veil to this earth. It hasn’t been easy (physically or emotionally) this time around but I have felt my heart and spirit expand (not to mention my waist) in enormous ways. Motherhood bursts the walls in your heart and results in an amazing capacity for love. My heart (even though it was reluctant in the start) has expanded and made room for this baby. I am learning that my ways are not always God’s way and that surrendering and trusting Him is always the way to real happiness. I am grateful for each of the beautiful little people he has sent into my life so far, and for the challenges that have stretched and opened my heart. This little baby is already so loved and I’m getting excited to meet her in a few weeks! #37weeks #babynumbersix #motherscircle #thegiftofgivinglife #miracles #standforlife #faith #courage #strength #motherhood"

  • I love so much about this Image. The Mom! The midwife at the ready, the Dad supporting Mom and the baby making a triumphant entry!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Reposting 📷 and words @brittfishstories:⠀ ...⠀ “They said I couldn’t do it.” ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I shot my 50th birth early yesterday morning, and this triumphant VBAC mama had us all in tears. 😭 With her first baby, she ended up in a section after pushing for three hours with a diagnosis of failure to descend... and was told by docs that her pelvis/body wasn’t capable of birthing a baby vaginally.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ So she pursued midwifery care at a local birth center, sought chiropractic care from 13 weeks onward, allowed the Lord to bring together her perfect birth team, and did everything else she knew of to make her dreams of a VBAC possible. But even then, when it came time to push, her fear was palpable. “This is when it all went wrong last time,” she told us through tears.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ But she looked her fear in the face and pushed through it... and birthed this beautiful 8 pound 2 ounce baby girl with a nuchal hand like the total rock star she is. She almost couldn’t believe she did it even as her baby seemingly sprung out of the water and into her arms... and her repeated cries of “They told me I couldn’t do it, but I did. I’m just soooo happy!” made for truly one of my most memorable births to date with some of my favorite images ever. Couldn’t have picked a more perfect birth to celebrate 50 with. 😍🎉❤️ Special thanks to midwife Sarah Foster, assistant midwife Lydia and @tulsabirthcenter - as well as Janell Zimmerman with Sowing Wellness for helping this mama rock her VBAC! So grateful for our Tulsa birth community! 💕⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .
  • This is a getting real about birthing time photo. Life is still happening even when you are in labor. Kids are playing, messes are being made and when a pressure wave hits you just drop down wherever you are and ride the wave. ⠀ .⠀ Did you have a moment like this from one of your births?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Reposting @mrs.sprinklesbirthphotography:⠀ ...⠀ "I adore this image from one of my first births. This is motherhood. Laboring among a field of legos. Comforting tears of her children, feeding them breakfast in between the contractions. Honest, authentic, beautiful. #motherhood #contractions #legofield #legos #wavesoflabor #wavesofbirth #homebirth #laboringathome #birthphotographer #birthphotography #homebirthphotography #giftofgivinglife
