Surprise Footling Breech Homebirth with Hospital Transfer and NICU Stay

After struggling for years of infertility, Stephanie and her first husband adopted their daughter Sadie. After Stephanie met her now husband Jamie, they had a surprise pregnancy. Having to change providers 3 times because they were not supportive of a physiological birth. They finally were able to connect with a midwife and planned a homebirth. After a 13 hour labor baby boy made his entrance feet first! Ezra pollock, a tiny 5lbs 4oz was struggling to breathe. He was transferred to the NICU and was there 7 days. Stephanie was diagnosed after delivery with a bicornate uterus which was the cause of Ezra being breech. Despite some challenges Stephanie and Jamie were so grateful to have a homebirth and thankful for the midwifery model of care!
