Amazing Woman has an Amazing Home Water Birth
I lit my Blessingway candle in the wee hours of the morning when I saw that her labor at home was underway.
I faced the candle in a window towards her home 1500 miles away.
I like how the reflection makes it appear as though the light keeps spreading west towards her…….
sending love and support…..
Not only did she have a VBAC today–
She had a HOME VBAC !!
AND during Cesarean Awareness Month!
Gina of The Feminist Breeder is one of the most courageous women I have ever met!
Yep- I met her! She invited me … little ole me… to her Blessingway in March when I happened to be in town. I was so incredibly excited to meet her and all her fabulous birth team! Yep- I’m in that Blessingway post she did.
Here’s one of the beads I gave her for her necklace.
Congratulations Gina and John!
Welcome Jolene!
But it’s her story to tell……. Head over to her blog and check the coolest EVER live blog birth event. The whole thing can be read and viewed from last night thru til this morning. The audio and video clips are for QuickTime player and each clip may take a few moments to load before you can push play.
I had it on today … at work… in the NICU and took the opportunity to try to educate..
Thanks for sharing Gina!
I am so so happy for you!

I got to watch most of her labor before I hopped into bed with my little girl. She did such an amazing job!
