Ooooh Rory, just beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your gorgeous birthing of Rose. That is my idea of a perfect birth *sighs* beautiful

A rose by any other name...

I haven't been in touch much, but I wanted you to know I'm so proud of you and your birthing journey, and the progression you've made from Flynn to Ollie, to Rose

I can't wait to meet your flower!

Congratulations again Rory, your birth story is wonderful and the birth itself sounded so peaceful and loving. Just perfect

What a gorgeous birth story! Welcome little Rose

OH rory what a beautiful story. I love the way you worded the whole thing. Very enjoyable to read I almost felt like I was there with you. Home water births are so pure and beautiful, and I'd love to try it one day in the future when I have more children, so long as I get through my first arrival (hurry up boy!!) first..

Stories like this also reinforce my desire to continue training and become a midwife. I'll have to wait and see what happens though with bub on the way my priorities are slightly different at the moment.

I'm very happy for you that your family is now complete. Congratulations!!
