Birth Story of the Week: Welcoming Theo

I am in love with this new birth film that was just uploaded to YouTube a few days ago. Here are a few details the mother, Georgia, included with the video:
"Theo was born in the Royal Women's Birth Centre, Brisbane. Zero interventions at 42+ weeks. Caught by a midwife. 6 hr labour, 15 mins of pushing and one well baked baby (10lbs 7 oz)...I did Hypnobirthing classes with Helen Pywell of Brisbane Birthing. This helped to keep me calm relaxed throughout my labour. I highly recommend."
Follow along with this beautiful family as they document Theo's first year on their website, Gregarious Peach.

Film by Georgia's sister, Hailey.
