Dear Baby

I promise I don’t mean to be a lazy blogger this week. I’ve just got so much going on, I’ve barely had time to pick up my camera or put down words. But I hope you’ll forgive me today by reading this beautiful, holy-smokes-that’s-impressive birth story.

Had this birth taken place in a standard hospital environment, there is no doubt she would have had to get a c-section. I’ve said it before.. but I’ll say it again - while I’m all for medical intervention during birth when it’s necessary - this birth story is just further proof that when a woman is allowed to birth her child on her own pace (and not under the insanely limiting time schedule often enforced by hospitals today) , her body is fully capable of delivering a healthy infant all on its own.

I should also note, this birth story is told from the perspective of the sister-in-law who was also the birth photographer, but you can read more about Jessica, the seriously brave mama in this story and her family by visiting her blog, Boho Baby Bump.
