    Wow Arimeh. You are amazing. And Felix is incredibly lucky! Well done for recognising your instincts that something was wrong. I'm so glad you are both okay. Sorry that you didn't get your homebirth and third VBAC.

    Wowee! I'm so glad you and Felix are safe and healthy after that massive ordeal!!! You're probably glad he's your last baby after all that pain you endured!!! You will NEVER have to go through it again LOL
    That's very scary what you went through and if I was you I probably would have been asking to be knocked out too! Thank god for c/s these days in cases like that!!! there's alot to be said about instincts huh?
    I felt really nauseous reading your story! But then that could be my MS too lol

    Where were the kids at the beginning? were they home to watch the home birth initially? I'm more than happy to have my babies in a hospital LOL

    From what I've seen in your posts, you were more worried about things not being right this time. You just had that feeling I guess?
    I'm so glad you are both ok & that you have another handsome little man around the house Bet A is stoked!

    Congrats gorgeous xx

    Much much love Arimeh. what a birth journey Felix had in store! I am so in awe of you, being able to listen to your inner self so amazingly and knowing, just knowing that you needed to transfer to bring him safely earthside and then knowing that you needed to just have him via general. that is so in tune and amazing...all the while you are in absolute agony.

    much love, thank you for sharing such a powerful story.
