After being induced at almost 42 weeks with her first child, Felicia was really hoping to have a natural birth this time. She chose a midwifery practice instead of an OB to be more aligned with her birth plan. After 2 days of inconsistent contractions, she got her wish when her water broke on the bedroom floor on Monday morning. Felicia shared her first birth in 2019 which can be accessed through our archive.

It is necessary
