After Bella’s first baby was born premature at 34 weeks, doctors took steps to prevent another preemie during her second pregnancy. She had a wonderful pregnancy but at 36 weeks she went into labor. An incredibly positive laboring process that included coping with yoga ball, counter pressure, bath tub, & eventually an epidural. Her baby’s head was born with the water bag intact but eventually broke when her shoulders came out & Bella was able to reach down & deliver her baby herself. It was a dream hospital birth but postpartum got complicated when she was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia.
