P.S. When did it click that the 'bladder pains' were contractions? LOL

Not for AGES!!!! I was still convinced I was in prelabour until Jean told me that she was descending nicely.. LOL

Well done !! and congratulations

I cant even describe how proud of you I am babe!!!!!

An amazing job, both of you!!

Dont worry about the poop, I had a midwife wipe my butt with Mason, I'd pooped the bed....

Mel - that is such an inspirational story, especially for a wanna-be vbacer. And funny and moving too. So glad that it all worked beautifully for you, and congratulations on the safe arrival of Eden (gorgeous name too).

Wow Wow Wow! What an amazing birth story Mel! You did sooooo awesome, I hope you feel very proud of yourself!

You wrote your story so well, I felt your pain and emotions like they were mine LOL!

And don't feel disappointed in how you acted, for goodness sake, you were in LABOUR! It's the hardest thing you could possibly do and you feel so many emotions throughout it. It's so awesome that you had the support of your DH and midwife to help get you through

We are all so proud of you .

Such an inspirational story mel. I can't wait to be pregnant again so I can use your story as a model for my next labour. I am so proud of you that you overcame your fear of rupture and kept going. Congratulations to your support team for being there and helping you all the way.

You are woman and hear you roar, or scream or hiss or what ever we need to do to birth our babies !
