Right after delivery I was able to snuggle up in our bed with Hazel, eat some everbowl, and breastfeed for the first time!

Hunter cut her cord after it finished pulsing and Kaitlyn gave us a tour of the placenta which was definitely a highlight! I did end up having some hemorrhaging, so Hunter did skin-to-skin with her while Lindsay gave me an IV and pitocin to help kick start my after birth contractions!

I also had a partial 3rd degree tear, so we made a visit to the labor and delivery unit to get stitched up… I can tell my pelvic floor is going to need some major work, but all in all I could not have asked for more! Such a pinch-me experience 💗 #homebirth #birthstory #breechbaby

2025/8/1 Edited to

... Read moreBreech births, where the baby is positioned feet or buttocks first rather than head first, present unique challenges and considerations for expectant mothers and healthcare providers. While many breech babies are delivered by cesarean section due to delivery risks, planned vaginal breech births at home or in hospital settings can be successful with experienced care and preparation. In this birth story, the mother's immediate bonding with her newborn Hazel through skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding right after delivery highlights the benefits of early attachment and breastfeeding initiation. The cutting of the umbilical cord after it finished pulsing ensured maximum blood transfer from placenta to baby, an important practice for newborn health. A tour of the placenta, as experienced here, can be an educational moment providing insight into the organ's role in fetal development and health. Postpartum hemorrhaging is a serious complication, and the administration of intravenous pitocin helps stimulate uterine contractions to reduce bleeding. Early management, including IV fluids and medication, is critical to maternal safety. The mention of a partial 3rd degree tear indicates significant perineal trauma requiring specialized repair. Recovery from such a tear involves pelvic floor rehabilitation, which is essential for restoring muscle strength, urinary and bowel function, and overall pelvic health. Physical therapy and guided exercises are often recommended to aid healing. This account underscores that even challenging births can be empowering and transformative experiences, particularly with supportive care teams. Women considering or anticipating breech deliveries should discuss their options thoroughly with providers knowledgeable in breech birth, weigh risks and benefits, and prepare for postpartum recovery needs including pelvic floor care. Understanding these aspects helps set realistic expectations and promotes informed decision-making for safer birth outcomes.
