Lachlan
Second home birth for this beautiful family.
Some births have older siblings in attendance. After birthing their first with Jessica, this family choose to hire her again for the birth of their second.
Not all home births mean water birth. But having the option to labor and birth in the water is one that many families deeply rely on in labor. Some have felt that submerging in warm water can cut the intensity of contractions in half. And then some birthing people, as with Jacqueline here, get out of the water at some point to birth on land.
Jacqueline and her family were supported in their birth journey by Landon of Have Heart Doula and their birth was documented by raven ivory | photography & films.
