Sarabeth describes herself as a very naturally minded person. She knew instantly that when it came to birth she would want to do it out of hospital and decided the a birth center birth would be the right choice for her. Due to state law she knew that her midwives wouldn't be able to deliver out of hospital after 42 weeks. As she approached the 42 week mark she also found out that the hospital her midwives had rights to, was not covered by her insurance. When she hit 42 weeks and all fetal monitoring had come back great, she decided she did not want to be induced and her midwives had to drop further care. Moving on she shares about finding someone to help attend a now planned home birth. Once active labor started she labored for a couple days at home with no progression past 6cm. After exhausting all avenues to help her progress at home, Sarabeth and her birth team decided that going to the hospital for pitocin would be the best decision. After being admitted and administered pitocin, she still labored for most of the day with intense contractions and was still at 6cm. With the intense contractions and exhaustion of laboring for days straight, she made the decision to get the epidural and some rest! After just a 30 minute cat nap she woke up with the urge to push and her baby was in her arms 10 minutes later! Then she shares her home birth that she had always dreamed of with her second baby!
