Birth | Lané Johnson

“Fam•i•ly \ fam-lè \ Noun – 1. relatives who love and care for each other deeply and oftentimes, put each other’s needs and preferences before their own. 2. a group whose love is not hindered by time, space or circumstances.

You really are blessed when you started chatting to your clients even before they are pregnant 😉 This was the case with Anél and what a huge privilege it was to be apart of this incredible journey. It was a huge honour to meet their family and can I say I have never quite had such a gathering of loved ones at the birth of a new little one. This was indeed a celebration of life, with friends and family to share in the joy of little Lané coming earth side. A more accurate description of family than in the quote you will not find they are truly a group whose love is not hindered by time, space or circumstances.

Anél and Brett enjoy your miracle and always remember how blessed you are with a family as caring and wonderful as yours!

Why was I so desperate to have a natural birth?
Yes, it would have been a most empowering experience for me and yes my next one will be a VBAC, but was it really that important in the bigger scheme of things? At the end of it all we got what we set out to achieve – a human being that we could guide and mould and set free into the world for her to make her own impact. Maybe that trauma she and I both endured in getting her Earthside happened exactly how it was supposed to. That’s birth and even more so parenting – you set off on a course with big plans and that’s great, but there has to be flexibility and acceptance in changing course depending on whatever life (or your kid) throws at you.

After a minute or so we heard your first loud cry. It was glorious and we could finally breathe. Sr Lotter brought you to us and our hearts melted, my boy. You were beautiful. We checked for 10 fingers and 10 toes and we couldn’t stop looking at you. The happiest moment of our lives. You were born at 11:33 weighing 3.49kg and measuring 53cm.
