Lucas


On 1st of December, 11.09 Lucas was born. After a few weeks of pre-labour and a long and tiring birth he was born by ceaserian section. His parents were brave throughout the birth and their emotional journey was quite an introduction to motherhood. Susan said to me that she was giving me all the experience she could for my first official doula birth. She was right. 36 hours of labour that didn't progress, an epidural and a c-section.
Lucas was so worth it and we were all pleased to meet him. He weighed 4200g and had a beautiful head of hair. Welcome little guy!

Birth is not only about making babies but about making mothers; strong, competent and capable mothers who trust themselves and believe in their inner strength.
