With Woman.
These two women, from Lincoln County Hospital, supported my first step into motherhood in 2008.
I am about 4 hours post emergency abdominal birth and the midwife on the right sat by my bedside reading a book during those first hours; gently passing me my baby for feeding and copious amounts of skin to skin moments.

“An empowered birth is one that is supported by at least one birth partner whose main focus is to promote, validate, and honour our emotional, spiritual and physical transition into motherhood during labour.” - Labor Like A Goddess
