Wow what an amazing story and such a great outcome! You must feel like wonder woman, not only birthing your baby by yourself, but a breach one too. Must have been very scarey! The next birth should be a breeze compared to that!

bubbleluv and carrie thanks for the kind words.
Cariie - i keep joking that #2 is going to be a pain in the butt, i think i will make it to hosp and she will get stuck or something.. just to prove a point... hehe as everyone says it will be easy for me... lol
Shouldn't laugh as i don't want that at all but you know what i mean!
Oh wow! That is incredible. I can't imagine how scary and yet thrilling it must have been for you. I have goosebumps all over. Thank you so much for sharing this story!
Thanks, during it all i wasn't really scared... more pre-occupied.. lol i think if i was in hosp with ppl telling me what to do then i would have freaked... hehe am hoping #2 doesn't try and beat her sisters record... lol
Midwife asked if i was worried about #2's birth.. i said the physical pain NO.. but making it on time.. thought i might sit down and read Ava's birth story again... hmmmm now i'm wondering how i will go this time round!
DD is now 18mths old, i can't believe it, had to read over again and it made me :crying:.
DD2 was born safely in hospital in January but like her big sister was not waiting for anyone... 8min after my water broke and she was out.. 5hr labor and only 8min pushing.
Wow wow wow! What an amazing story. Definitely one to tell the grandkids. You did UNBELIEVABLY well not to panick. Especially being all on your own.
I had tears in my eyes reading it. Wow!
It also brought back so many memories about Daniel's birth.
Yes, it is amazing how our bodies just take over and we're merely a passenger on this journey.
And about the lack of "detail": who cares about how dilated. When reading a birth story, it is the emotion of it and what the mother is going through that interests me. Not how many centimetres of dilation at what time (well, unless her feelings are closely related to the progress of dilation).
Beautiful birth and beautifully told. Thanks for sharing!
oh wow. i just re-read this story again. man, i have tears streaming down my face. what an amazing journey you and Ava took that day xx
2yrs ago today.. WOW Princess Ava i can't believe it, about now i was laying in hospital watching you sleep.. you were so peaceful that first night.. NOW LOOK.. Am happy to say you live life just like you were born, FAST & INDEPENDENT, love you with all our heart and soul gorgeous girl.
I must say not matter how you were born you were well worth the effort!

Omg hun you are such an inspiration!! If you went to hospital you would have been given an emergency caesar for sure! It's just so amazing how our bodies and instincts just take over!
Congratulations on the safe arrival of your precious bundle and I wish you all the best for your family's future :)

I love this story. I love how even your tone of writing sounds so calm and matter of fact. I would have been desperately scared and lonely without my hubby there!
Happy 4th birthday princess Ava.
We love you more than words could ever say, your a beautiful, smart & adventurous little girl & we wouldn't change 1 thing about you!
Hope you have an amazing day princess!
I just took some panadol for a toothache, I wouldn't have been far off taking some panadol back then too.
Happy birthday gorgeous girl!!! Have a great day!
Edit: can't believe I haven't commented before now, I've definitely read it! Amazing story hun!
Such an amazing birth story
Just found DD's birth CD (which i've been trying to find for ages with non luck) - listening now in tears. :loveshower: my beautiful princess.
My poor mum :rofl:
I also found a letter my mum wrote me that i thought i would share.
:
Dear ~ZF~ :p
Sometimes i cannot express myself and put forward how i feel face to face. I want to let you know how proud of you i am. How i wish your experience was better for you. I feel so sorry for M missing out on the birth and not being by your side to support you.
I must say though that if there is an easy and hard way to do something you will always go for the hard way and you always seem to pull it off.
I want to say thank you for the experience. It was one of the scariest yet most wonderful things i have been through. Other than when Marty died i have never felt so helpless, being so far away and not being able to help you, and to listen to you in pain and know what that pain was like, the waiting and hoping bub would cry.
You are an amazing woman, i just think this same person when told where babies come from crossed her legs, cried and said she was never having kids. It is a memory that has always stuck with me as will the birth of beautiful Ava.
You are my hero and i love you very much.
Mum
That is a beautiful letter - so much love and pride. I'm all teary.
That is absolutely gorgeous ZF, what a nice thing to write.
Amazing letter ZF! (And what a birth exoperience you had!)
I got all shivery when I read that letter. What a beautiful thing for your Mum to have written you.
your mum is a wise woman. :hug:
Now I'm teary too...
I love her memory of telling you about babies - that is priceless!
Your mum is right to be proud of you. You did an amazing thing. Totally amazing. But then that's the ZF I love! You're a pretty damn speah chicky!
I can't get my brothers reaction to A's birth out of my head from E's bday this year. You went from my friend to Wonder Woman in his eyes! Lol
Thanks everyone - we have our moments but she's pretty special
Awww :loveshower: thanks hun:
Awwww BG - you my friend are spretty damn special yourself.:
:rofl: oh yeah his reaction was hilarious, i went from that weird giant woman bagging me to the OMG SHE DID THAT lady :rofl:
Wow! What an amazing story. Well done!
Awww in tears, so many memories!
