A calm hospital birth featuring the TENS machine – Paris’ Story.
“Be open to all scenarios and breathe… your body knows what to do.”
For Paris, birth began in the most ordinary way — a childcare drop-off. But just as she was going about her morning routine, she lost her mucus plug and instinctively knew: today was the day she’d meet her baby.
With her partner by her side and a supportive midwife team, Paris birthed at the hospital, just as she had planned — aiming for a natural, physiological birth.
What stands out most for Paris when she looks back on that day isn’t the pain or the intensity, but the calm.
“It was so calming — and the support I had made all the difference.”
Even though she had done this before, Paris was still struck by the raw power of the experience and the strength she found within herself.
“You forget how strong women are! Whatever way the baby comes — we are seriously amazing.”
When her baby arrived Earthside, Paris described the feeling in one word: euphoric.
And for those currently planning their birth, she offers this grounded, heartfelt advice:
“Be open to all scenarios and breathe! Take every contraction one at a time and do not look at the clock. Your body knows what to do and the professionals are there to guide you.”
We’re so honoured to share Paris’ story — a gentle reminder that calm, powerful birth can happen in any setting, and that strength doesn’t always look loud.
Welcome to the world, little one!
