What a great birth story! Thank you so much for sharing - I'm glad that you fought your way back from that crisis in the middle. My heart dropped when I read that you saw the mec staining, that sounds similar to me, except I was already in hosp.

And also so similar to me in labour - one word only, no touching until the pushing starts when I need to be told I'm strong and powerful and need to draw strength from DH.

Awesome job PZ.
