mixy, thanks. I'm so excited and feel so special that she wants me there to share this with her. I can't explain it, just I feel awesome! I used to live near Browns Plains years ago
Wow, that was beautiful! My bubba boy was 11pd 2 oz and I managed to birth him with no pain relief, spent the whole labour in the water except the end, I chose to birth on my knees and I was so proud of myself too! I had to laugh about when you thought that maybe a hospital and an epidural would be a good idea! I chose to birth at a hospital that does not offer epidurals at all, and if I wanted one it meant getting in the car and driving 40 minutes to the next hospital. As the pain took hold, a little bit of fear set in and I kept telling myself how stupid I was to think that I could do this with no pain relief, and I briefly thought about making a run for the car....but I calmed myself down and got on with the job. And I will never forget the moment when we finally weighed him (I wouldn't let anyone take him from me for ages and ages), and they said he was 11lb, my heart and soul just soared to think what amazing things our bodies can do! Well done hon, what a beautiful birth!
Okay, I just watched the montage and I have lots of tears....it brought back so much of my son's birth. What an empowering story.
