The Birth Story of Ma&Me...
Our life with children started in January 2007 with the birth of our first child. Daddy was a bit stubborn in learning about home birth as an option. We did as natural of a birth as possible in a hospital setting and were blessed with a boy. Mommy definitely didn’t enjoy the experience of a hospital birth, and Daddy noticed that. Daddy got smart and listened to Mommy.
With Daddy on board for a natural home birth, and with proper Daddy training in the Bradley Method, Mommy gave birth at home to another beautiful boy in July of 2010. Daddy was able to help Mommy have the birth experience she dreamed of. Mommy gave birth in a La Bassine birth tub borrowed from a friend. Mommy and Daddy both were in the pool at the time of the birth and really enjoyed the functionality of it. With baby number three on the way, Mommy and Daddy were excited and ready for our second home birth. As a result of a lost contact, we were unable to borrow the birth tub again. So, we purchased our own La Bassine birth tub. A second water birth in March of 2013 was successfully completed and resulted in the birth of our third child, a precious baby girl. We now have five children; four born at home, with three being born in water. So, why do we exist? Well, Daddy is the type of person constantly looking to help others out. Daddy is a full time police officer. As a side business, he started a company in 2011 called RV Butler, which rented out camping trailers and camping equipment. When Daddy had to purchase a new birth tub and other supplies for the birth of our third child, he saw the high costs associated with that. Daddy immediately realized he could help people save money by giving them the option of renting home birth equipment rather than footing the bill for all new items – similar to the camper rental business. Mommy is also the type of person who looks to helps others out, and of course is in full support of home birth, so she was excited about this opportunity. So, Ma&Me Home Birth Supply was created. Ma&Me is dedicated to making your birth experience the best it possibly can be, and make it more affordable for you. |
