More and more women are considering unassisted childbirth as a viable option. This is a birth where the parents have the baby without a doctor or midwife present, it can be planned or not planned. The potential for a successful birth increases if a woman walks into it informed and prepared. By becoming more educated with awareness, preparedness and solutions the chances of a successful birth become significantly higher. If she has eaten well, recognized impending problems and worked to resolve problems then she has a much high chance of a positive outcome.
We live in a time where any birth can become unassisted, even if it is not planned that way. Whether it is due to weather, disease, finances, laws or simply the doctor or midwife not being able to make it in time for the birth.
The role this program plays in unassisted birth is to help a woman prepare her body to be as strong and healthy as it can be. To recognize problems and help find solutions to those issues and then to keep the labor as short as possible to increase the chances of a positive outcome. This preparedness also plays a huge role in a woman healing quickly after the birth.
Below is Krytal's story of how she had followed the program with the intentions of having a home birth, with a midwife, but at the last moment they find themselves alone to deliver their own baby.
Baby girl was born into the hands of her father in an unexpected unassisted birth because the midwife was unable to make it in time.
We found Donna and her program and fell in love. After 3 miserable pregnancies we were looking for answers and solutions but we had one big problem, she lived a couple thousand miles away from us. Instead of moving to a new state we found a local midwife to do the regular check-ups and then signed up with Donna for her to be a consultant from afar. It was just what we needed! With her program and assistance we were able to be in control of this pregnancy and our own story.
Our local midwife came for check-ups and then afterwards we’d meet with Donna virtually. We’d give her the numbers and she’d walk us through tweaks and changes in diet/supplements, etc that could help me to feel even better and the baby to be even stronger and our delivery to be even safer. Scheduling was easy and Donna was very accommodating. Communication in between appointments was quick and she was always there when we needed her….including for the delivery! By the time I knew I was in labor there was no way my local midwife could make it in time and so we called Donna. She of course answered her phone and talked us through everything! The delivery was perfect and the baby came into the arms of her Daddy, safely guided by Donna! We weren’t scared to not have a midwife in the house. We knew Donna would take care of us and we weren’t wrong!
Baby girl was born healthy and almost exactly the same weight as her siblings with substantially less weight gain on mom and a much shorter labor time.
