Burr Ridge Birth Center

It’s with great pride that we congratulate our dear client Sarah .rd on the birth of her baby boy!

“I can officially say that a birth center has proven to me that there’s nothing in life I can’t do. I met myself in so many forms on that journey and went to depths of myself I didn’t know existed.

I’m fiercer than ever yet simultaneously a little softer. I’m stronger than I realized yet this little boy makes me weak in the knees. I’m in awe of my body yet I knew she could do exactly what was asked of her.

I’ve never loved anything as much as I love being a mom to him. If I liked being a dietitian and a successful career, being a mom is something my soul was literally way more designed to do.

Q&A Questions I recieved:

What are you loving about being a mom?
Everything. And I feel like I can say that because I loved so many other things before becoming a mom. I spent so much time alone, being comfortable with myself, traveling, therapy, learning who my true friends are, and all the experiences that lead me up to this point. Motherhood is a massive change. And it’s not easy, but worth it.

At any point did you want to give up going unmedicated?
No, because the only way out is through. I didn’t want to be in a hospital. Also the fact that I am so close to meeting my baby is motivation to push through any amount of pain. I also did a course on mindset for birth and heard many doulas/ midwives say that usually when you think you can’t anymore, that means baby is about to come.

I feel like unmedicated made my birth shorter and let me bounce back quicker.

I do think I had the perfect mix of doula and midwife support to really push me.”

Excited for an opportunity to bond with baby?
