39 // An Altered Birth Plan, An Empowered Birth - Sarah Moyer’s Birth Story --- Midwifery Care, Hospital Transfer for Pitocin, Postpartum Hemorrhage, Informed Consent

Sarah's birth didn't go exactly to plan, in fact some may see some parts of her birth as traumatic. However, when she thinks back to the events and how she felt, it's all still "beautiful." You see, Sarah's sister-in-law experienced a traumatic birth. Her story scared her and she knew that she would need to be prepared and well supported for the birth of her own little girl.

 

A long birth center labor and ultimately a transfer to the hospital are among a few of the detours along the way. But because she had put in the work, prepared mentally, and built a dream team of care providers and family, she felt empowered by her birth.

 

While birth can be unpredictable and often doesn't go according to the "birth plan," it doesn't mean you aren't in control of you and your baby's story. Knowledge is BIRTH power. In the case of labor and delivery it's how you remain in control of your body, your baby, and your birth experience.

 

It is because of Sarah's story, that her sister-in-law is now considering having a second child. Mamas empowering other mamas, that's what we are about!
