So thrilled for Elsa and Tom! I looked up the name and it’s the name of a Finnish goddess. Very cute way to honour her family.

That's lovely :wub: It says the name means "wind" or "little wind" indeed named after a Finnish forest goddess. 🧝‍♀️ I wonder how it's pronounced.

I was wondering the same thing. Did a little research and found this! Tuu-lik-ki

so good to see Elsa glowing and so full of love :heart: Tuuli is so cute. Also loved Elsa's essay on birth 

I recognize everyone's choice to do with their lives as they please. With that said, I think it's very irresponsible and dangerous for both mother and child to have a home birth. If anything goes wrong, being in a medical facility is the best.

 

Regardless of my views, congrats to them.

It's very culturally related. Some countries have a strong and long tradition of having a significant percentage of home births.

 

I know in Holland it's like around 30%.

 

Strangely enough, Sweden is not one of those places so I wonder what inspired Elsa's decision?

I think home births have become very common, especially during the pandemic as the limitations in hospitals mean that you pretty much have to be alone when giving birth which sounds fucking horrible and I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy, particularly if this is your first child. To say it's an irresponsible decision is honestly a reach, especially when she said she had a very easy and low risk pregnancy, she had a doula and a midwife with her... Both professional who know what they are doing, some places even require you to have an ambulance in stand-by outside your home in case something goes wrong. Home births have become a lot safer in recent years, the only instances where home births are not recommended, are when you have a high risk pregnancy or any other underlying conditions that may complicate the delivery which clearly was not the case with Elsa.

 

Her essay on birth was so well written and of course she also looks beautiful in all the pictures, she seems to really be enjoying motherhood a lot. 

Awe, congratulations to them! I'm not much of a baby person, but their daughter actually is really cute. I would just not have typed that if I really didn't mean it. 

 

I have always liked Elsa as a model and as person (from what I can see on the internet, of course I don't know her in real life lol), and I just looked at her boyfriend/husband? IG and he seems really cool, too. They both seem really down to earth and friendly. I'm  really happy for them!!
