The moral is - that decision with that birth was so conscious. I had to get to the place where I had the courage to birth. I found it and I did.

This gives me (happy) chills. So true, Flowerchild!

It continues to amaze me how much truth, wisdom, strength and courage women draw from one another as we share our own stories of birth.***

I think that is something we lost when village life changed to urban life and (some of us) lost our 'tribe'.

But it is something we find among ourselves again in places like Bellybelly.
