Fatu’s Birth Story

Fatu’s Birth Story

“They helped me put together the best birthing plan for me...”

I’ve always wanted a natural birth I just never had a plan. When I got pregnant however I began my research into keeping my mind, body & baby’s health in the most natural way possible. I discovered Roots Community Birth Center through a Mentor. I’m not a huge fan of the pharmaceutical industry and being in hospitals gave me anxiety. After hearing about Roots I did more research on the facility, took a tour & spoke with Rebecca I decided this was the best fit for me. They helped me put together the best birthing plan for me. Although I was anxious they assured me that I wouldn’t be alone on this journey and sure enough I wasn’t. After 18 Long hours I welcomed my baby girl Robyn into with world along with a couple of midwives and family who cheered me on a long the way making sure I never gave up on myself and my baby! They were all the support My Baby Girl & I needed. From my experience at Roots I love to encourage other mothers & first time moms to trust their bodies & give Roots a chance in being their biggest supporter.
