Even though with my first two pregnancies I had both a vaginal birth and a c-section, I had a midwife by my side for both. I was only 18 when Johnny came and I was so scared about every single part of pregnancy, I couldn’t even process birth. I met with a couple doctors during my pregnancy but there was just something so comforting and warm about the midwives I spoke with.
From the moment I arrived at the hospital I had a midwife by my side. I was so scared and so overwhelmed I didn’t know what to do. Things that didn’t even apply to the actual childbirth she handled. Too many guests in the room for me to function–she calmly removed people to the waiting room. Concerned with the speed and lack of medication–she assured me it would just allow a faster process.
