oh my goodness!! TWO babies born!!



Big congratulations Jenn! I too didnt get the amazing birth high after DD3 was born. Like you, it happened all so fast (called an hour before she was born...midwives made it though!) that my heart and mind were not in sync with my body. TBH, i do feel that there needs to be processing of that too. I was a bit disappointed that i didnt get that heady, pure joy that i got after DD2 was born. that said, i too was so immensely proud of what my body could do and do well (especially after such a shocker first birth with trauma). but yeah, a bit bummed that it wasnt as 'joyous' ITMS. also, my photographer friend wasnt there and missed out as did my neighbour who I wanted to help me and be there for me.

The Mrs: SO thrilled for you!! Congratulations on the arrival of your newest addition and a BIG congrats on your HBAC! wahoo!!

Jellyfish: I hope you do choose a HB! i think you will find that it will be totally tailored and follow your wishes in terms of what you do and dont want. the beauty of planning a HB with an IM is that they have faith in you and your ability to birth.

*the_mrs: what a beautiful birth story! thank you so much for sharing!*
