Birth Story | Patty's Redemptive VBAC at UCH
“The entire birthing journey with Nora was a personal redemption story. My intent with her birth was not to replace my first birth, as traumatic as it was, but rather to complement it. Much like the journey into parenthood, both birthing experiences were unpredictable, challenged my limits, and required grit and determination. There is no experience in the world quite like giving birth and the experience has shaped me into the person I am today.”
The Birth of Roma - A Family Celebration at UCH
Blanca was induced on Saturday morning, and she labored peacefully during the day, into the night, and into the following morning. We stayed in close communication the entire time, and despite our fears that we might miss it, Duane kept us updated on her progress and assured us he’d make sure we had plenty of time to arrive at UCH. He did such an awesome job communicating, and sure enough, he reached out with the perfect amount of time (which doesn’t always happen!) Rebecca arrived at UCH and Blanca was ready to start pushing. The sun was beginning to set and the light pouring into the room was so beautiful - illuminating not only Blanca but her entire circle of support.
