..As the first time mother I didn´t realize the importance of many things and the time up until the actual birth.. All the meetings, talks and dances at the clinic… OH, only now I realize and truly appreciate it!!!
This has been an incredible journey that has been inspiring and has showed me many new ways in the life.
The choice to have Tomass´s birth at Moderhuset MAIA has been the best and I am happy that I had a chance to have this moment in such a special way. I had chosen to have a water birth and I did have everything I asked for.
It all started at midnight of March 25th with my waters breaking and a hope that great day has come. This is it! My son will be born today! Unforgettable long journey started. It was hard for me both physically and mentally, and I am quite sure I would break if there was not the great support of Maia midwives. I am thankful still to this day that I had such great persons around me in this moment. There is no way I would get the support I got here anywhere else in hospitals.
The chance to decide how my baby should be born turned out to be very important. As the first time mother I didn´t realize the importance of many things and the time up until the actual birth. All the meetings, talks and dances at the clinic. All the support me and my partner got in the hard times. OH, only now I realize and truly appreciate it!!!
By the midnight of March 26th I was still in Moderhuset MAIA, surrounded by midwives Ditte and Dorthe, and my boyfriend. I was exhausted and so where they and my baby. But the time was close. After all the many hours and hard work of Marta, Ditte and Dorthe I finally started to feel that the baby will be here soon. I will never in my life forget how I felt my baby´s head! To ease the moment midwives asked me: Does the baby have hair? To which I could only make my eyes big and say: Yes it does! And a lot!
Tomass came to this world on March 26 at 3:48. After the exhausting many hours me, my newborn son and my partner were the happiest people in the world! Already after three hours we wanted to go home and have some rest and just be a new family together. It was incredible. A sunny spring day with a lot of snow !!!
Thank you for giving us such a birth of my son!
