Great story TM... love the way you tell it too. Had me giggle a few times and there's one reference in there I can relate to very much.... hmmmm it will be in my birth story too when I finish it.
Good on you for pushing with your instincts honey. Enjoy your beautiful little man Thomas
Thank you for sharing the birth of Thomas. I had a similar experience when the ob did an internaly on me. First she told me that I had not dialated (after 8 hours of labour) then she had a second go and she told me that I was ready to push..It was baby's head not my cervix she was feeling
Congratulations and what a fantastic inspiring story. Just the way a birth should be! Make sure you tell this story to anyone who will listen! Welcome Thomas!
Ah TMTM (or should we now call you JTRA - Just The Right Amount? ), you always make me smile. What a wonderful birth. I suspect that your cervix might also have been terrified by your horrible midwife and clamped shut as soon as she came near you with her waggling fingers.
Congratulations on your beautiful little boy Thomas and I hope that you are enjoying the newborn snuggles.
OOh TM, I am sorry i missed this thread earlier. I think I have been avoiding the birth stories because I am trying *not* to remind myself of it! LOL. But I wouldnt have missed this one!
Awesome birth. Praying for a less painful one myself! Enjoy your beautiful bubba boy!
Some midwives though huh? Wasn't your cervix soft and thinning WEEKS ago?
