Firstly I wld like 2 "THANK U" 4 sharin your amazin story

... And yes u were jst amazin 2 av gone thru avin a middy put u thru such mental discomfort in actually starin & givin u no guidance wt the pushin procedure ... that's so shockin that she stood there starin, she's obviously in the 'wrong' profession

I kno I felt so empowered afta jst avin given birth 2 my 1st bub at 40, that wen i ws in the shower afta the birth I thought 2 myslf ... gee, I reckn I cld jump off a roof now & break not a bone ... That's how empowered I felt. And I neva felt so proud of myslf.

My beautiful midwife told me durin my labour 2 "let that wild woman out". AND boy did I, LOL

My other midwife called me "The legend" ... Gotta love that

*** ALL THE VERY BEST IN YOUR BEAUTIFUL & FULLFILLNG MOTHERHOOD JOURNEY ***

(Wow, I jst noticed your daughter shares the same birthday as my older sister ... Don't be surprised she becomes a lover of the Arts & mayb possibly become a teacher My sis is a g8 story teller too )
