To get the birth I so desired for my vba2c I had to fight every step of the way, even when I arrived at the hospital just 2hrs before he was born, still fighting, so at this time the word "surrender" came to me a lot, I had fought so much for what I wanted but then it was time to surrender to what was imminent - birth.

During the ctx's and labouring at home I often thought "Each contraction is a step closer to my baby" I visualised my baby being closer and closer to coming out of my vagina everytime I had a big ctx.
