. ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ In celebration of my son’s 1st birthday, I’m once again sharing his birth. Millions of people saw his birth and were impacted. Many sat on the edge of their seats, and cried with me when my baby let out his first cry. For some of you, this was hard to see. Lots of you messaged me and told me how watching me stay calm in such intense moments impacted you personally. Plenty of you, told me how at peace you felt about midwifery care handling emergencies outside of a hospital. I’ve had countless providers, doctors, nurses, EMT’s and hospitals share this video with all their staff, leaving them in awe and wondering why their labor and delivery units are failing to implement midwifery skills in emergencies that are critical to the health of the birther and baby(immediate skin to skin, cord in tact, resuscitation on birthers chest, talking to baby etc etc) However my birth impacted you, thank you. -LOVE, FLOR CRUZ @_de_la_flor_ #homebirth #hbac #vbac #shoulderdystocia #midwiferycare #vaginalbirthaftercesarean ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Daddy: @cbass1083 Midwives: @ashleesourapas & @lindseymeehleis Doula: @uvbirthservices Photography: @lightworkportraits Placenta Specialist: @thejoyfultree Assistants: @katrina.n.the.waves & @birthingearthlings
