This is birth: With my sister by my side

By Motherly December 21, 2020

Watch this incredibly calm mama undergo her second C-section with help from her loving and supportive sister.

“I knew that I was coming to document a birth where there would be no dad by mom’s side. But when I opened the door, I found Moehau peacefully waiting in her bed with her sister Leilani by her side. The bond between the sisters is beautiful and powerful, it is all that I hope for my own children.”
