34. MyMaine Birth Elisabeth's two positive hospital birth stories and the benefits of hiring a doula

Send us Fan MailToday's birth story guest is Elisabeth.  She shares her two positive hospital birth stories with us.  The first was going to occur at Holly No7 Birth Center in Bangor but she ended up switching care to Eastern Maine Medical Center around 25 weeks due to a potential heart issue with her son.  At the time Anna, a midwife in training at Holly No7 Birth Center was able to act as Elisabeth's Doula and provide amazing support to her during her hospital birth experience.   A few years later Elisabeth had a wonderful experience birthing her daughter at MDI Hospital in Bar Harbor at 41 weeks supported by Sarah Tewey a doula and acupuncturist, and during labor they decided to FaceTime Elisabeth's  pelvic floor physical therapist, Kacey Hutchins who was able to give some great suggestions to help her as she was pushing.  What incredible support!     MyMaine Birth is a space where we share the real life stories of families and their unique birth experiences in the beautiful state of Maine.  From our state's biggest hospitals to Birth Center Births, and home births, every birth story deserves to be heard and celebrated.  From the first feelings of pregnancy to the first cry of your newborn, we explore the journey of childbirth in all of it's beauty, intensity, and emotion.  Whether you are a soon to be mom, a seasoned mother, or simply interested in the world of birth, these episodes are for you!As part of my commitment to capturing these incredible moments I am proud to offer my birth photography services to families across Maine.  As an experienced photographer I am dedicated to capturing the beauty and emotion of this special moment.  And, I also design a personalized and intimate photo album creating a beautiful and lasting memory f one of the most special moments in your life!For all of the information head over to https://www.mymainephoto.com and schedule a call with me!Thank you for listening to the MyMaine Birth Podcast!  I look forward to bringing you more amazing birth stories!Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review!
