"One of the most beautiful births I've ever attended"
This is a beautiful birth story. Carolyn welcomes back RN and doula Jennifer from the previous episode and her client Ashley to tell the story of the birth of Ashley’s son, Colton. She talks about the benefits she experienced from practicing hypnobirthing techniques and remaining calm throughout the process.
"At one point, I think it had been about an hour, the nurse said ‘Your temperature is getting a little warm we probably need to get you out [of the shower]’ and I said, ‘That’s fine! I can tell that I need to push this baby out right now!’"
