Thanks everyone!




I am just blown away.This is wonderful proof of the power of the mind and the importance of supporting a woman in labour - not hassling her with negative thoughts/comments, unnecessary intervention and definitely not making decisions for her.
O yes, you are SO right!

It was SUCH a wierd feeling, as soon as I got the 'flight' feeling of not being safe to keep labouring, my body reacted immediately. I guess in survival situations, that trick would be invaluable
