Fantastic I hung on every word - and I totally understand what you meant about not realising how far along you were in your labour - I was the same! Even down to thinking it was just the need to go to the loo. Congratulations and well done
Thank you all so much for your lovely responses, I have been really taken aback by your kind words.
At the time of the birth I didn't recognise the magnitude of what I had done, as time has gone on and with responses such as yours, I am feeling more and more proud!
...and more and more distressed that the choice of having a home birth is not available to all women. I know it is not for everyone, and that is fine. I just wish we all had the option.
