I am very envious of women who have great hospital births and I wonder how they managed it, it makes me feel somewhat inadequate like I did something to bring on the experiences I had birthing my first 2 sons in hospital.

but it has been a real eye opener for me, I know I am not the only one who have had these experiences in hospital and it has opened a new window of learning opportunity for me in regards to pregnancy, labour and birth. So my first birth which was highly intervened with (almost losing my first son because they overdose us with pethidine) and my CS (internal bleed after op) and horrible scar were not for naught.

I have learnt more about my body and how a pregnant, labouring and birthing woman should be treated....and this is to be nutured and respected during this wonderful and miraculous time in her life.
