    Footling breech homebirth - amazing!

    A midwife friend of mine posted this on her FB page....It is truly amazing, and I wanted to share it with you all.

    I am impressed by the skill of the midwives and the strength of the mother. Truly inspiring!

    Yes! I was thinking of her when I posted this. I was so impressed and in awe of ZF when I read her birth story. Reading this current one made me feel even more in awe of ZF.

    Hehehehe, there's nothing to be scared of! Nervous maybe, anxious maybe...... Lol!

    ZF, yes, it would be awesome to have photos..... But I guess you have the image seared in to your brain and will never forget it. What an amazing experience you had! Respect....

    Beautiful!

    I think pictures & stories like these help to make birth look less scary... it's a normal, natural process that can happen with so many less intervantions than we currently operate with.

    Aw CrazyCat don't be scared.. you CAN and WILL get through it like a trooper i'm sure.
    Think of pics like that as a positve, what the female body can do ALL on it's own!

    Thanks *Ash*

    Wow... Just... Wow. I so wish I had pics of my frank breech birth. I'll never forget the sight (had a mirror) but wish I could share them so people could be shown that there's nothing to fear.
