Well, I am crying with happy tears reading your beautiful birth story!
You did so well, you followed the Wisdom of your body and I have no doubt the Wise Woman guardians of birth were whispering in your ears!
Amazing, beautiful, miraculous and oh so how nature intended.
Good on YOU for staying in your chosen birthing position and for leaving your baby's cord until you were ready to birth the placenta.
Wow. I have tears in my eyes. What a beautiful story. You did a WONDERFUL job, you should be so proud of yourself. What a story for the kids when they're older, hey I laughed out loud at DD trying to play horsey, that's something mine would do hehehe
I know the surreal feeling you describe, DD2's birth was pretty quick once things go going and I recovered so well that it took a good few days to sink in that I'd given birth again!
Congratulations, hun. What a great job you did - no way would I have managed to stay so cool, calm and collected, especially not at home without a doctor or midwife there for reassurance! You are amazing!!
What a gorgeous story! You had me laughing (horsey rides and having your pants on > ) To crying wiht joy over how beautifully yoour son entered the world and how you mum was the one to help you. Good job congratulations
Thanks girls for all your lovely comments.
Yes, I am looking forward to the day I can tell Maya how she tried to ride on my back while her brother was born. And telling him how I almost had him with my pants on...
This morning DD was sitting on the guest bed without pants on. She looked down at her bits, parted the labia, pointed there and said "baby". Only 2 and she already knows the facts of life....
Congratulations, Sasa. What an amazing story. You did so well - I can't believe how calm you were throughout as you told your mum what would happen. And how wonderfully you and Maya related as you were pushing him out! Really inspirational stuff Congrats again and enjoy little Daniel.
What an amazing woman you are. You must be feeling so proud of yourself and the beautiful way that you birthed your son. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your experience with us!
Thanks ladies!
I still think about his birth every now and then. I did like that I was able to stay active. I have to be honest, i also liked how there was no PAIN as such. Just a sort of intensity (I guess it would be similar, if you ran a marathon, not that I have ever done that). And of course I am happy I manage to have a happy and healthy baby boy without medical intervention.
BUT, overall, I probably prefer DD's birth. It was longer & more painful. But because of that I had time to actually absorb it. I don't know if that makes a whole lot of sense to you, but DS's birth was so quick that it felt llike it was over before it even began. It rolled over me like a steamtrain. I didn't have time to digest what was happening.
Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining and I would not want to change it. It was an amazing experience. It's just that it still seems so surreal to me.
I just happened upon this story and wanted to say wow! What an amazing job you did with your little man's birth. It must seem a long time ago now but I couldn't read and not comment. Well done!
