Ash Dasuqi gave birth to her first child last July. It was at home under the care of a midwife. The soon-to-be grandparents feared her decision would result in pain and complications. But Dasuqi was convinced she made the right choice. She had a smooth, drug-free labor, and a satisfying experience.
Dasuqi said much of her confidence came from her own research and education. She is currently working as an emergency room nurse in Ohio, but she has also been observing births over the last couple years in training to become a midwife. She looks forward to sharing her positive experience with other women.
