Our daughter is here 🩷
From the moment I found out I was pregnant with my third baby, I knew in my heart that I wanted to attempt a VBA2C. After two previous C-sections and an unsuccessful VBAC attempt with my son, many people thought I was crazy for trying again. But this journey became about so much more than birth; it became about faith, advocacy, surrender, and trusting God completely.
There were so many moments where fear tried to creep in. Every consultant appointment seemed filled with reasons why it “wouldn’t” or “shouldn’t” happen. I was told my baby was too big, my uterus would rapture, warned about every possible risk, and constantly reminded that another C-section made the most sense. But through it all, God kept giving me peace.
I prayed, advocated for myself, surrounded myself with people who believed in me, hired the most incredible doula, leaned on my husband, and kept trusting that if God placed this desire in my heart, He would carry me through it.
At 40+5, after weeks of waiting, discouragement, tears, and wrestling with fear, I went into labour spontaneously.
And by God’s grace, I got my redemptive birth.

This experience taught me what it truly means to trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5). Because by human logic, this shouldn’t have happened. But God had the final say.
Forever grateful to my husband, my doula Lorna , my midwives Janie & Karen and everyone who supported me along the way. Most of all, thank you Jesus for carrying me through every fear, every doubt, and every obstacle.
Welcome to the world, baby girl. You were worth the wait 🩷
