Reposted from @drmelanielopes 🥳 I thought today was going to be a memorable day because there was going to be a lot of medal dreams about to happen at the @tokyo2020 Olympics, but I was wrong!
.
🥳 Today, August 6, 2021, I got to support my 1st birth as a Birth Doula candidate, at a home birth.
.
🥳 Today our population increased by 1 because this 9.5lbs baby boy (name TBD) came into this world at 12:10pm!
.
🥳 After watching and supporting this birth experience since this morning, all I can say is WOW! This mother was fearless and made the whole process look so easy! If I could, I would’ve given her a gold 🥇 medal too!
.
🥳 KUDOS to the supportive birth partner, and their team of midwives from Riverdale Midwives, for making this the best 1st birth I could ask for!
.
🥳I haven’t had a moment to fully process what happened today, because I was able to return back to work @361clinic later this afternoon.
.
🥳 Thanks to my patients who were flexible and understanding about the last minute rescheduling of your appointments, to allow me to go and support my 1st birth!
.
🥳 Happy birthday Baby X, and thank you to his parents for trusting me in helping them with their experience.
