Madeline
“I was almost into my third trimester when we decided to have a homebirth. Being our first baby and not knowing what to expect, this was a difficult decision for us, particularly with homebirths still feeling taboo in modern society. Once we made our decision, I was confident in it, and it felt right to follow my gut.”
Matilda
“ The full body relief I felt when I heard [midwife] Ellie’s voice is something I will never forget. While I felt so safe and in control throughout my whole labour I so desperately wanted Ellie there when I met my baby. “
Jorgen
"I only pushed for 12 minutes. I was so proud of myself!”
