The miracle of birth

It’s been a busy few days on the baby-catching front – one of those weeks when I start to wonder whether someone has put castor oil in the water or was Sunday’s full moon to blame? Either way, it seems that half the October clients have decided this week is a good one for giving birth. I was lucky enough to be at a lovely water birth last night and get to welcome a gorgeous baby girl into the world. It’s not every day you get to witness the miracle of life in such a beautiful way – even in this job.
