*mwah* what a gorgeous birth journey Arcadia!!! thank you so much for sharing that with us!

it's funny about the cord as similarly Marta had a loop tight around her neck and the waves functioned in a similar way. although as she was coming down the birth canal she was gently nodding her head, which now, we can see was her way of moving down without causing more stress on the short and tightly wrapped cord...these babies are amazing and have such an amazing ability to work out what they need when left to their own devices. imagine if we were forced to push these guys out with the direction of OBs and clocks...
