      <image:caption>After suffering an 8 week miscarriage in November of 2019 and another chemical miscarriage in February 2020, we were pleasantly surprised to find out I was 11 weeks pregnant in April of 2020. We were excited to welcome our double rainbow baby! At our 20 week ultrasound our Hazel was diagnosed with truncus arteriosus (a congenital heart defect) as well as duodenal atresia (stomach issue). I was heavily monitored throughout my entire pregnancy and a plan was made for me to deliver in Madison to be closer to the American Family Children’s hospital. My water broke while being monitored in Madison and Hazel was born via induction at 35 weeks. Though early, born on October 8, 2020 she came out better than anyone expected at 4lbs 10oz: breathing room air, crying and moving her arms and legs.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>At around 17 hours old, after being transferred to AFCH, Hazel suffered a cardiac arrest where she needed life saving CPR. At 10 days old, Hazel passed away in my arms after my husband and I were able to hold her for 21 hours straight. I know she hung on for as long as she did to be able to soak in some extra time with my husband and I. Our family was able to come and meet her prior to her passing. We were able to spend an afternoon with her and our then 3 year old making crafts and mementos. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of Hazel and how and what we would be doing with her. Her big sister talks about her all the time as well and it’s a nice gentle reminder that she is with us no matter what. There will forever be a void in our family. We cannot thank our friends and family for the outpouring love and support we have received and their help in keeping Hazel’s memory alive.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I was pregnant with my first child. The fetal sex was a surprise, and the pregnancy went well and uneventful. My due date came and still no contractions or signs of pending birth. I saw my OB and I was only 1 cm and 50% effaced. I was scheduled for a follow up in 1 week and for an induction if I didn’t go into labor on my own. The 1 week follow up appointment came, and I still had not started contractions. I was still only 1 cm and 50% effaced. I shared with my OB that I felt like the baby was moving less. Based on my a biophysical profile ultrasound was performed checking the baby’s movement, practice breaths and swallows. Baby passed with 8 out 8, so I was allowed to wait to see if my body would start labor on its own in the next 4 days. That did not happen.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>At 7:23 am baby was out with the sweetest cry! The doctor asked “dad what is it?” and held the baby up over the blue drape. “I can’t see, your hand is in the way!” was his response. “Oh hear you go” and he yelled “It’s a BOY!” Tears fell from my eyes. Baby boy was taken to a warmer and checked over. His feet and hands were blue and I kept asking what was wrong. I was reassured nothing was wrong and he was fine.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Finally, my husband laid him wrapped in a blanket on my chest. His sweet squishy face was beautiful. Shortly after, they moved us all back into the L&amp;D room, sat me up and I was able to hold him in my arms for the first time! This was not my birth plan. I had not even considered that I would need a c-section. But my baby was healthy, and he was here.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My first birth was long, difficult and went almost the complete opposite way that I hoped it would. I learned from that experience to let go of expectations but I still hoped for a water birth the second time around. My guess date was July 8th but I had always had this feeling that her due date had to do with the number 5. I was confident she would come closer to the 5th of July. I started vacation from work on July 5th thinking it would run into my maternity leave. The week came and went with zero sign of baby. The week of the 12th I started trying all sorts of things to get the baby to decide to arrive earth side. I was walking daily, drinking red raspberry leaf tea and eating pineapple. I had my membranes swept on the 9th and then again on the 13th. It seemed like nothing was working. My sister and her fiance had been staying with us for going on 2 weeks waiting for baby to arrive so they could stay home with our daughter while we were at the hospital but were set to leave on the 15th. I was convinced that I would probably go into labor after they left.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We finally made it to the ER entrance. I was howling through contractions at this point, as they helped unload me from the car and onto a wheelchair, which I rode on my knees facing the nurse pushing it. While I knew baby was so close there was also part of me still doubting and thinking I had hours to go. We got into the room and I said that I needed an epidural. They told me that it was time to push. I started pushing as much as I could instead of waiting to use the contractions. The nurses and midwife were absolutely amazing and were a calming presence the entire time. Once I finally accepted that she would be joining us soon and not in hours I relaxed enough to use my contractions for each push. While pushing was still exhausting and painful it felt SO much better to push with the contractions. I was excited everytime I could feel her move down a bit further. Finally, we could see her head! After a few more pushes the nurses and midwife told me "one more push". I pushed as hard as I could but nothing happened. There was some commotion as they realized her shoulder was stuck (shoulder dystocia). The nurses worked quickly and efficiently to free the baby's shoulder. Once she came out the first thing I saw was the nurse unwrapping the umbilical cord from around her neck...3 times. When they placed her on my chest I was in shock and worried as she wasn't crying. Everyone was smiling but I was still worried about the baby.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We arrived at the hospital around 3:30 am. At this point, I was feeling small contractions, but they weren't painful at all. The midwife said that I could hang out for a few hours to see how I progress on my own. If I didn't, she would want to start me on Pitocin...oh no, I thought, this was the same way my first birth started... About 7am the midwife told me that my contractions slowed way down. Darn, I thought I was just good at handling contractions. She agreed to start with a low dose of Pitocin. From about 7-11 the nurse would come in and slowly increase my dose. I was practicing focused breathing through each, in through the nose and out through the mouth. My mom arrived by then and was helping me try different positions. about 11:30 I decided I wanted to get in the tub. My husband went home to shower and I labored alone in the tub for about an hour. My contractions were getting stronger and stronger. I let out a low, deep moan from the tub, and just when I was about to ask to get out, the nurse said "Ok, I think it's time you get out".</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Birth Story Series - Molly’s Story</image:title>
      <image:caption>I got into a position on my side where the midwife said I was least likely to tear (which was one of my biggest fears). Immediately on my next contractions I felt like it was ok for me to push. Through each contraction to push, I waited to my body to tell me tell me what to do. I screamed into the nitrous mask for each one, but only pushed when it felt right. After I would come out of each contraction, I could hear the team tell me that I was doing great-I had such an amazing supportive team and never once did they yell at me to push when I wasn't ready. Each contraction was such a surreal experience and despite screaming through them, I was telling myself "just open up", "opening and stretching" and "relax your body". After an hour and ten minutes of pushing, my baby boy came out and it was the biggest rush of endorphins I've ever felt. I was so glad it was over and hearing him cry and feeling his warmth as they placed him on me was the best feeling in the world. I did it. I delivered a 9 1/2 pound baby naturally and got by with a second degree tear-which I call a win.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I was induced with preeclampsia &amp; HELLP syndrome at 37 weeks with my first. I was on magnesium, stuck in bed and had somewhat of a cascade of interventions. I did not feel in control whatsoever. This time around I was pretty anxious that it would happen again. We hired a doula to help ease some of that fear and anxiety which was a huge help.  In the evenings leading up to my 36 week prenatal appointment, I started to develop a little bit of itchyness on one single toe. I didn’t think too much of it until the morning of my 36 week appointment arrived and I was uncontrollably itchy all over my chest, belly, arms, legs, hands, etc. At that moment I knew I needed to mention this to my midwife. I had heard birth stories of women who had cholestasis and knew a major symptom was itchiness. Later that morning I went to my appointment. I had my final growth scan and routine midwife appointment. Everything was looking great with baby girl.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Birth Story Series - Carrie’s Story</image:title>
      <image:caption>Seconds later I was screaming and the nurse went to call for help. At this point I think I was already pushing and I knew the only way through this was to get this baby out. Our nurse pulled the help cord and about 8 nurses and our midwife were in my room within seconds. The nurses kept asking me if I could move to the bed and I denied. I decided I wanted to get off the toilet and move to all fours. My angel of a midwife announced that we were going to have a baby on the bathroom floor. She sat on the toilet behind me and after just 6 minutes of pushing, our baby girl was born at 8:22am (on the bathroom floor)! She was passed up between my legs and I held her to my chest.</image:caption>
