BIRTH | DAHLIA SMIT | PRETORIA BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHER
I started losing ‘the head game’ as the pain in my back became very overwhelming and I started vomiting. If it hadn’t been for Sam who came as birth photographer but jumped in as doula to direct my husband, I think my husband would have run away at this point.
