What were your contractions like and did you have breaks? ✨ “When I got into the water I remember thinking that labor is just so weird. At that moment I felt completely, 100% normal and was not experiencing any pain at all. It’s hard to believe that there are moments like that in labor but there really are!” 💗 ✨ New story on birthwithoutfear.blog! #birthstory #birthwithoutfear #optionssupportrespect

What a magical @oxytocinvibes moment! ✨ “The white coating over Sadie’s body is called vernix. It looks like cream cheese and has been called birthday frosting. Amniotic fluid is saline and vernix keeps baby’s skin from drying and peeling, and acts as lubrication through the birth canal. There is also research stating that the smell of vernix can trigger oxytocin, the love hormone. Oh yeah, and it may protect against infection. Bodies are amazing!” 💗 Image and words by @almamidwifery _ #birthwithoutfear #naturalmoisturizer #birthdayfrosting #oxytocinvibes
