50. MyMaine Birth Kally's Maine birth stories, a hospital birth and a home birth with care from her loving midwife at Northern Sun Family Health Care

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to episode 50 of the MyMaine Birth Podcast! Todays birth story guest is my good friend Kally and she shares about her experience birthing her oldest daughter Iris in a hospital and also about the home birth of her youngest daughter Lois with the incredible care of Sarah Ackerly from Northern Sun Family Healthcare in Topsham. I have been photographing Kally and her family for a while now, and I am so excited to share this episode with all of you because the birth of her daughter Lois was my first birth as a professional birth photographer. I had attended several births as a doula before then but this was my first birth with my new camera and using a flash in the birth space. When Lois was born I was in the middle of training to become a certified birth photographer and it was a good thing too because I was prepared. Kally gave birth in the middle of the night and the only other light available besides some small LED candles was her midwives flashlight. I'm your host Angela.
