"Do you have any interest in catching the baby?" My best friend asked me as we approached the birth of her 6th child. My immediate response was "YES!" I was excited to be a big part of such an intimate and wholesome experience.
While it is not typically the Doula doing the catching, it was an experience I will hold dear to my heart forever. Getting to catch that sweet little girl was one of the highest emotional points in my life. The rush of emotions and feelings was unexpected. Tears of joy, immense awe and love stung my eyes. Birth is Beautiful. God's intricate design of life will never cease to amaze me.
I may not catch too many babies in my life, but I am happy to come alongside mamas during their birth experiences and be the support and advocate they need during this amazing miracle of life.
My hope for this blog is to share experiences, information, resources and support to an mamas who cross my path. Stay tuned for things to come!
