A Last-Minute Waterbirth

This Etobicoke mom originally planned to give birth in hospital, but changed her mind about a week before she gave birth. Her midwives were surprised when they came to her home in labour and found her in the water of her birth pool rental, and were supportive of her decision to have a home birth. As it turned out, she had the birth of her dreams.
