I really enjoyed that Michael thanks! It's so funny, my birth was a homebirth too but it's crazy how different they were. Like we had NO mess, i am not joking, NONE. I never really had a bloody show, and all the birthing "mess" was caught on 4 incontinence mats which were underneath me when she emerged. And i seriously didn't even THINK mean words at anyone, on the contrary, i remember feeling in love with everyone there, even the midwife i'd never met before, even at the agonising peak of the body-says-push-but-you-must-NOT-push contractions, must have been all the pain endorphins! LOL! One thing which struck a chord was the transition words yelled from the bath "i'm NOT COPING!!!" Ahhhh I'd do it again right now.
