Welcome sweet baby boy born at home on 10/17/23! This was a second home birth with us for this sweet family. This time around mama got to have the water birth she wanted and was able to catch her own baby! Big brother was all gloved us and ready to help us. Sweet, sweet home birth. Congratulations sweet family!
We always love serving repeat families because of the connection we get to build. It is more like supporting our friends that we care for! This family had their first son with us a couple years ago and decided to do it again! The first birth with this mama was longer and harder, she had really wanted a water birth but it didn’t work out that way. This time around she was able to catch her own baby, in the birth tub, everything went pretty quickly and she made it look so easy! Another triumphant birth for this crew but this time everything went just as perfect as she had hoped for. Baby boy weighed 7 lbs 14 oz and was every bit as cute as his big brother! We love you guys! Congratulations!
This sweet Los Osos family had their first baby boy with us a couple years ago! They did so beautifully and he was so cute they decided to go for it again. Their first born was almost 3 weeks early and born on the full moon so we were all anxiously awaiting his baby brother! He decided to make his appearance just 10 days early, within just one hour of labor from the time her water broke to the time he slipped into his dads hands! I didn’t make the birth but we know that most often when birth happens that quick everything is great! I was just 5 minutes away and made it for the immediate postpartum and joy in celebrating this sweet little life together! Weighing in at 8 lbs 7 oz, he is just perfect! We love you guys!
This was the second time I attended a home birth in this Los Osos house, but this time with an entirely different family! This was a 2nd baby for this mama, but first home birth. She and her sweetheart labored so beautifully together and pushed her baby out in the birth tub just as she had hoped for! Until I get permission to post photos, I will post a photo of myself and my assistant licensed midwife and our student as we were leaving that morning so happy to have attended such a sweet birth and family.
Beautiful baby girl born to a powerful first time mama that rocked her birth! In any obstetrical setting she would have been labeled “advanced maternal age” and viewed as high risk. In my practice, we believe that if you can get pregnant then you have every good chance of being bale to have a beautiful birth as well. Healthy moms=healthy babies! Way to go beautiful mama, you and your guy were such a great team. 6 lbs 7 oz of pure love and joy!
This beautiful first time mama persevered with a lot of really hard work and pushing for hours, with the help of her husband to welcome their 7 lb 5 oz baby boy into their home. This mama labored beautiful and was a good reminder of the birth pause, sometimes women just need to rest after they are completely dilated and rebuild their energy so that they can push their babies out! We feel so happy to have been able to be there with you. guys! Congratulations sweet family!
I love repeat families! This was baby #3, second home birth with us, welcome beautiful baby girl weighing in at 8 lbs 5 oz. We are so blessed to have served your family again. This dad is in the military and decided he wanted to purchase his own special knife to cut the umbilical cord with! You can tell mama is very amused. Yes, it was sterilized and honestly worked better than any cord cutter I have ever seen!
This sweet family chose not to be pictured, but this mama did absolutely amazing having her 2nd baby, 1st home birth. Featured in the photo is my terrific midwife assist helping to deflate the birth tub!
This sweet family decided they wanted to have baby #4 in the comfort of their own home. They had always planned for the children to be present if they wanted to be but we didn’t realize what a big part of their birth the family dog would be. Surrounded by her beautiful children, supportive husband and the sweetest dog ever that was right there throughout the labor and birth, this beautiful mama birthed her 9 lb 2 oz baby boy into her own hands. Their sweet doggie definitely thought this was his baby! Congrats you guys, I am so happy for you all.
This sweet mama was so determined to have her baby at home after 2 cesareans. It makes me so happy to witness a mama push out her baby after 2 hard births. Way to take your power back! Beautiful baby baby boy born at home to his family with 2 big sisters. 8 lbs 7 oz of pure sweetness. Congratulations!
This was my 2nd birth with this sweet family and both times she powered out her baby so fast I almost didn’t make it! I knew the drive from Los Osos to SLO better be a quick one based on our last experience together. Weighing in at 9 lbs 4 oz this sweet baby was born at home on the living room floor. So grateful to have been there for them again. Congratulations sweet family! <3
Welcome to the world baby girl, born 13 days after her guess date! This was baby number 2 for me with couple, and my 6th birth for their extended family. I love this family and it feels so special to have been such a big part of all their births! Weighing in at 8 lbs 11 oz of pure cuteness! I’m so happy for you all.
