Unmedicated Birth at Texas Children's Pavilion for Women with Midwives

Although she would be delivering in the same hospital as her two other babes, she knew that she wanted a provider that would give her the opportunity to follow through with going unmedicated. So, for this pregnancy she switched from her usual OB to the Midwife Group at Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women.

A Surprise Gender and Home Water Birth with Midwives in Spring Branch

This sweet family was referred to me from their doula, Nina Spears with The Baby Chick. I attended and captured her own home birth and was so grateful that she shared her repeat clients with me. They planned to deliver with midwife Nanci Stanley and student midwife Mary Alice in the comfort of their home and hoped to have a water birth.

A First Time Home Birth Story with Midwife Shannon Stellhorn

After being there to capture the moment they welcomed Mom’s second baby into the world, I was beyond ecstatic to find out that they were expecting their next baby. After delivering her first two in a hospital setting, Mom was hoping to have this next babe in the comfort of her home and quickly put together her birth team which included Midwife Shannon Stellhorn, Doula Kathleen Wilson and Student Midwife Rowan Twosisters.
