The amazing Amelia Beonde with her daughter Olivia (5) and son Ellis (2). Amelia says that both of her pregnancies have been different but they've been very healthy. She gave birth to both of her children in hospital naturally after quick labors but had a much better experience with her second birth. She hired a doula for Ellis' birth and was able to use the hospitals natural birthing suite. She spent a lot of time in the water and was able to birth in bed with her husband behind her as support. Breastfeeding has been a wonderful bond with both of her children as well. Olivia self weaned around 2 and Ellis is still nursing today. Amelia feels that mother's are more alike than different even with our varied experiences and she wants to see herself as both a mother and a beautiful woman.
