    BIRTH STORY! | positive outcome unexpected inductions

    Hello from the other side, Cece - Montage founder here. Our baby boy made it into our arms in his own little dramatic entrance. We are so blessed for the outcome and those who supported us during the many hours of labour and the final crunch time moments that allowed our sweet boy to come out safely, start to breathe and end up in our arms. Note: This story has a positive outcome and we are recovering from bruising, tears and scars, and happily loving newborn snuggles with our cutie newborn - but we do mention details that could be TMI for some and the different methods that needed to happen in our scenario. Every birth story is unique and ours happens to involve an epidural, inductions, dr. interventions and scary moments of heart rate drops, him being stuck and needing to be dislodged, and not hearing him cry after delivery.
