Oh wow! Thanks for so many kind comments! I feel proud of it so it's nice to share and read your comments

Glad to see it dug some lurkers out of the woodwork too

Wow Maz- I'm really, really touched

Kate- I don't remember if you've mentioned it... are you planning a HB next time?

Beautiful meow! Argh I wish I could get mine done but my midwife with the pics is moving house...aarghh!
I love the the crowning footage; it's always the bit that a birthing mama doesn't really get experience like that...pure amazement and excitement.

Ahh... the actual crowning of the head I cut out. It looks like my bum is going to turn inside out

Hope you get your pics soon!!

Another lurker creeps out of the woodwork......

Just beautiful Meow! Absolutely beautiful. What a lovely gift you have made for gorgeous Felix.
You have inspired me to do something with my homebirth photos of DS. DS2 was born at 3am so his photos aren't as clear.
Thanks for sharing such a special and intimate event with us.

Meow - that was so amazing, thanks for sharing! I agree with Mel, that shot of the two boys together at the end is just stunning. Best. Pic. Ever.

Haven't seen it yet meow but I'm super excited to now! Lol @ all the lurkers,

Haha! Just saw my midwife & we talked about the montage... I had wondered about including the final stage of pushing with the whole "push harder" bit. My poor midwife is a little mortified! I should say that is the ONLY time I had any directed pushing and it was because his shoulders weren't coming out and she was concerned as they should have been moving even a little with my pushes. I may edit the clip though because it does give the impression of coached pushing which I didnt have through the rest of the labour.
