I love meeting other HB mummas IRL too. I had a few in my old playgroup and it was so lovely to share that with them and really connect.

Just had to get this out with my HBing women, cause you all get it. Took my youngest to the osteo the day and he was going over everything. Asked about the birth and gets to birth weight. 10lbs 6ozs. Oh wow, he says. Really big then. So did it hurt a lot?

Ugh. I just seems really dumb to me. This guy is a father of three and supposed to be pretty crunchy yeah? He's an osteo for pete's sake. Bigger babies don't hurt more?! I was kind of confused at first because labour is labour right? So I said, not any thing more than ordinary. Then I was thinking, well big baby could affect crowning and I did tear when his shoulders came out so I told him about that bit. But on reflection I realise we were just coming at it from totally different points of view and this guy clearly doesn't really understand birth. So don't bother asking questions about it. Humph.
