Thankyou for sharing your story . A beautiful recollection that Ivu will be able to read when she is older
I am glad that Ivy arrived safe and sound, I understand the extra stress that having a prem can have, especially when you aren't quite ready for bubs to arrive just yet.
DH had the same look of shock when my waters had broken as well, although I didn't get to see it when I first told him as I was driving! But he looked horrified when I drove into the garage!
Thankyou once again and I still have some of my tea left as I was too enthralled to drink it all while reading!!
xxoo
Hi Kat, what a captivating story. I enjoyed every moment of reading it and despite everything, you did a wonderful job. Your story is an inspiration. Look forward to catching up soon.
Thankyou for sharing your birth story. It sure opens your eyes as to how they like to intervene as much as possible. Its like birth is a condition to them, not something natural and it angers me that at some hospitals they take away all of those special moments from a family just because its protocol or they are on a schedule.
Wow what an epic tale - you did so well and what a recollection you have! - I definitely don't think you failed yourself or your beautiful DD or your husband or midwife - I am in awe of you and thank you for sharing your story
WOW! You had my tears flowing at the deal you made with your wriggling belly-occupant..
You did a fantastic job bring your beautiful, healthy little girl into your arms! I can only hope I can do as well as you did if I'm put in a similar situation as what you were!
I think it's simply horrid the way they took your DH's moment of glory away from him! Personally, that would be the only thing I'd be dissapointed with! Which was totally the fault of the midwife!
Hey Kat. I am overwhelmed by this story. So much of it resonates with me, as I'm sure it does with every birthing woman, and so much of it has opened my eyes further to what a bodily experience birth is (sounds obvious, but its not). And some of it taught me about how tough it can be and how through circumstances out of my control I was privileged to have two very positive birth experiences.
I'm so pleased that you included that last page. I'm thrilled to know that you've come through this debriefing empowered, rejoicing in Ivy's birth. I am sorry for the struggle to get here, but mostly I'm sorry for the set of circumstances that took away your confidence.
Yours is such a powerful story, Kat. I can't believe how much you can remember 4 months on! I was struggling to remember the details of my births after only a few weeks. But your recounting of your feelings, urges, emotions... it brings it all back. Thank you for that. And thank you for sharing. xx
