After struggling for years of infertility, Stephanie and her first husband adopted their daughter Sadie. After Stephanie met her now husband Jamie, they had a surprise pregnancy. Having to change providers 3 times because they were not supportive of a physiological birth. They finally were able to connect with a midwife and planned a homebirth. After a 13 hour labor baby boy made his entrance feet first! Ezra pollock, a tiny 5lbs 4oz was struggling to breathe. He was transferred to the NICU and was there 7 days. Stephanie was diagnosed after delivery with a bicornate uterus which was the cause of Ezra being breech. Despite some challenges Stephanie and Jamie were so grateful to have a homebirth and thankful for the midwifery model of care!
