Birth #5

I attended my 5th birth last week. This was my last birth for certification through Birth Arts International.

The mom visited with her doctor on Tuesday and wasn't dilated at all. Then she calls me on Friday morning at 1:30 to say that she is having regular contractions. She calls me back at 3:30 am to say that she wants me to come over. On the way to her house, her husband calls to say that they are going to the hospital and to meet them there. We walk around the hospital parking lot for about 1.5 hours until she wants to be admitted where they find her at 9 cm!! She delivers a beautiful baby girl 3 hours later!!

Did I mention that is was my first VBAC, too? Gotta love it!
