We have almost 10,000 member in our Facebook BWF Community. I am emailed many birth announcements and they are all wonderful in their own way. I usually share them on our FB page. Today, I received this birth announcement from Melissa, along with 2 amazing pictures. So, of course, I just have to share (with permission)! Birth is so raw and empowering and these pictures captured just that. ~Mrs BWF
Melissa: “I just wanted to share that my sister, Callie, gave birth to her second little girl yesterday via unassisted home birth. She rocked it! Emilia Armanie weighed 6lb 12oz and came right at 38 weeks. No tears even tho baby shot out of mama and landed on the pile of blankets.
We captured a really cool “in the moment” photograph of baby shooting out and would love to share it. I am so proud of my sister as she literally birth’s without fear!!”
