What a spectacular read! Thank you so much for sharing Bella! You're one super strong, awesome and amazing woman. You could move mountains!

I love the honesty of those hard times you had in labour, and I related so much to some of them. In my first labour I remember systematically going through the drugs in my mind and discounting them as an option, and I remember thinking a c-sect would have been a better idea in my second labour Thanks for the memories. And also the strength- the way you just keep going along and as your wonderful husband said, there wasn't one contraction you hadn't gotten through yet! What a profound experience this was for you both, such a testament to the power of birth. That it DOES matter. I am sure this birth with live with Jemima too- what a gift you have given her!

I'm so proud of you and privileged to have shared your journey. Thank you. Congratulations!!
