Ok then, "amazon woman, goddess of the garden, queen of the backyard birth... " - that's EXACTLY what I want to call you!
So proud of you for sticking to what your instinct was driving you to do!
A birth support person your MiL does not make

Great you could largely block her out of proceedings. And good that DH recognised you didn't need him...and to SHUT UP about hospitals being 'safer'!
Above all, I'm so glad you got to move about how YOU felt like, without being told how to lie or sit or hold yourself

You're right, that was definitely worth the read! I got teary!

Well done LR, that is a story and a half, and one I'm sure you'll be telling for years to come!
