an Origins Midwife's Story
Where do I begin? As a midwife who has worked for years to help women achieve the birth they have always dreamed of and as a mother who has had the perfect home water-birth experience myself, I never dreamed that my son would be born via cesarean delivery.
As many of you know, because I (Kaitlyn Wages, CM, LM) am no longer able to carry my own children, we chose the most ideal surrogate (Amanda), who also had a history of beautiful easy water-births with her own children. The two of us spent hours envisioning and planning for the climactic moment she would deliver my son into my waiting arms. It was going to be another beautiful water-birth for the both of us, and my son Shepherd. Neither of us would have ever imagined that Plan B would become our birth story.
The answer to all of those questions was a
resounding answer: "NO!"
This personal experience has allowed me to grow as a midwife
and increased my understanding of how it feels to need a Plan B.
At Origins, we are blessed to walk most women through their Plan A's, however;
we are equally as blessed to walk families through their Plan B,
and now I know first hand that at the end of the day,
holding your sweet healthy baby
in your arms is the very best plan of all.
