Born at Southdale Hospital in Edina, Minnesota | A Preview of an Empowered Cesarean Birth Story

March 29, 2023

Our team of birth doulas truly believes in every family’s right to a birth experience that leaves them feeling empowered and overjoyed. A positive birth experience is your right, not something that should be treated as a “bonus” or “nice-to-have.” As doulas and birth photographers serving Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding areas of the Twin Cities in Minnesota, we’ve been present for many empowering and transformative birth experiences.

Having a team that believes in your right to a positive birth experience is important. Gather Birth team member Brittany was thrilled to provide birth support and documentation for this family’s empowering and family-centered cesarean birth at Southdale Hospital in Edina, MN.

Sometimes what a family wants for their birth unfolds as the process progresses. Brittany was honored to witness this family define what their own positive birth experience looked like, and then provide affirming support and document the joyous event. This family was lovingly supported by their entire care team, from their Gather Birth doula and photographer to their nurses and midwives and the team in the operating room.
