Shantelle Shares Ashton’s Birth Story

As told by Shantelle McBride
We did it! Ashton David McBride graced us with his presence on Sunday, March 13, 2005 at 11:50 AM. It was an experience I will never forget!
I first heard about the Bradley Method from my friend, Shawna, who had given birth naturally just a few months before. After enrolling in a class offered by Nancy & James Capo in Tucson, Arizona, Aaron and I were determined to bring our child into the world without any unnecessary interventions that were likely to lead to a repeat Cesarean (which I had with my first birth). Our main objective was to have a healthy baby in our arms in the end, without the use of anything that might potentially harm the baby or myself.
Lila Marie’s Homebirth Story

Lila Marie was born at home June 27 at 5:11pm at 39w 1d gestation. She weighed 8 lbs, 8 oz and was 21 inches long.
Early Labor: Sunday, June 26
With no signs of impending labor in the preceding days and weeks, I awoke Sunday and began my day as usual. My due date was in one week, but to try and thwart my impatience, I had mentally prepared to be a 42-weeker. A trip to the bathroom around noon revealed a small bit of pinkish mucus. I was excited by my bloody show and the first signal that I was getting close to labor and even made my husband Rick take a look, but I knew that women often lose bits of their mucus plug weeks prior to birth, so I assumed I would do the same. A subsequent pee jaunt resulted in another small bit but the rest of my many bathroom trips that afternoon were show free.
