Abby chose to birth her first baby in a birthing centre with medical midwives. Her prenatal visits were pretty run of the mill for that type of pregnancy surveying and Abby ended up having quite a straightforward birth.
Things didn’t get messy until right after the birth of her daughter where she immediately went floppy. The medical midwives assessed Abby’s baby and called for EMS to take the child to the nearest NICU. Abby was left alone at the birthing centre with only her mother and doula to tend to her while her husband left to the hospital with the baby.
During the 2 weeks of Abby’s daughter being in the NICU, she underwent a D&C to remove a piece of retained placenta. She wasn’t able to hold her daughter for her first 5 days of life and was obviously unprepared for something like this to happen, which led her to her having a severe bout of postpartum depression once she was able to bring her daughter home.
Abby chose to have her second and third births within the hospital, where she was also diagnosed with gestational diabetes. These births were again, pretty okay, but not exactly what she was looking for.
Felling there was one last baby that was wanting to come through, Abby was committed to listening to her intuition and truly having this birth in the way she wanted.
She got connected with some women via Facebook groups about birthing free of the medical system and that was the spark she needed to make the choice for having the birth that she always wanted.
