Spring is here!

As I biked to work this morning I couldn't help but smile. Spring is truly here and it is wonderful to be outside enjoying it.

With all of the excitement of the new season also comes the excitement of new babies. I have three clients due to deliver in May and each seem to be taking their time. Hopefully they all do not decide to deliver on the same day!

Each of these clients is so different and I am eager to see how their childbirth experiences play out. I know they will each be great moms. Two are first-time moms and one is a second-time mom. My second-time mom is going for a VBAC. She is a very strong lady and I know she can do it as long as she listens to her body. She had a traumatic first birthing experience (she has a heart condition and the Drs panicked and did an emergency c-section even though she was already 8cms and she and baby were doing fine!) I'm hoping I can help her have a much better birthing this time around. If any of you have VBAC tips, please share :)

My two first time moms are also very different. One of them wants to know everything about pregnancy and childbirth and early infant care. She and her husband have read books, articles, pamphlets, and taken the Natural Childbirth Class together. The other mom has more of the "my body will know what to do attitude" and has not opened a book (although she and her partner did take a childbirth class). Both are VERY excited to be mommas.

It should be an exciting month! Maybe this weekend one of the little ones will enter the world...
