Myshell and Hannibal had a very discouraging prenatal visit last week. When they told the doctor of their birthing plan, the doctor said, "If you don't have this baby by your due date, we have to schedule a c-section." He also said that there was no way Myshell could deliver at their facility "without receiving Pitocin after the birth of the baby." Myshell has already had one c-section. If she has another, there is a strong possibility that she may never have kids again.

Many women have successful vaginal births after Cesarean Sections. The couple decided to opt for a home birth, so they could have more control over their plan and the health of baby and mommy. They found a midwife at The Sanctuary, who will perform a vaginal birth in their home. Please help them raise the $3,000 necessary to cover the cost of home delivery.

Myshell is already 36 weeks pregnant.  She must pay in full before she is accepted as a patient at The Sanctuary.  To donate, please click on the "Donate" button below.
