    Congratulations, Ren, that's an amazing story. I love the power you had over your thoughts - keeping yourself positive, telling yourself you could do it. How truly wonderful!
    Enjoy your little Ava, and thank you so much for sharing the story of her birth with us

    Ren - you are an AWESOME woman. I was cheering for you all the way through this - you DID it, drug free, and with a difficult back labour too!!!

    WOO HOO!!!!!!

    Awww thank you so much Helly!!!!

    When I told my sister that I did it drug free she said "wow well done!!" but then I said "and posterior she was too" and she said "NO WAY!!!??!?!" I had no idea that posterior births were that much more difficult as it was my first so had nothing to compare too!! But it sure was painful LOL
