Thanks for an amazing...wonderfully told birth story. Freya is just gorgeous and I am glad you are recovering well..I think it is important to hear birth stories that are more involved.. you don't hear much about them.. I think part of the reason is that a lot of people don't want to talk about the things that can go wrong. I can think of threads on here that raise the topic about why people always want to tell you about the horrible birth experience they had??? It is difficult and unless someone begins a conversation about that type of thing I tend to not talk about my own birth experinces and often wonder how in depth I can go with that person, which is pretty sad because I think its one of those things that can take a long while to debrief and talking about it is something that helps me a lot. Having said that I realize that everyone is different and have their own way of dealing with things. Its funny but I have always thought I would post my own birth stories, but when it came to the time felt they were'nt worthy enough or perhaps a bit to gory and it would'nt serve me well to leave those bits out as I would'nt have been able to acheive the release I was looking for, so instead decided to keep them to myslef, which always has made me feel a bit sad.
Anyway enough of my rant.. I am glad you have told your story Dusty.
lol about the poo, I can remember being horrified that I pooed in the shower, just rabbit poo but then did'nt know what to do about it, so in my labour induced haze decided to push it down the drain with my toe..never thinking about the poop on my toe or perhaps even under my toenail??? (redface)
