    oh and i forgot to say that Jennifer.... wow, you are powering along now! far out! the business end approaches...YIPEEEEE!!!!

    i have been watching the SBS doco 'one born every minute'...can i just say that it makes me so happy to have made the choices we did the second time around! even the happy births that are beautiful (i cry each time!), just have no power to even come remotely close to the joy and beauty and tranquility of bringing your baby into the world at home, or at least under the guidance of an IM in hospital. i cannot believe the BRIGHT lights, splatter suits and goggles and all those rubber gloves!!

    Wonderful news Ash!!

    What a relief!!

    Jen I can't believe you're in the third tri now! So exciting!
    Bella I loved birthing from within and even tried my own hand at birth art
    Eutra I hope your last week of work flies by!

    Cass I can't watch that show...I just feel so sad they aren't getting the amazing home birth experience I have had. Tbh I was shocked when I first saw it because I'd never seem a birth in a hospital, only home births...my mum loves it though

    Arcadia - My DH is the same, he can't bear to watch it either. We watched the first series together. When I told him that a new series was on, he said he would tape it for me but wouldn't watch it himself.

    Cassius- I totally agree with your comments about the show. There were times when I felt quite sad watching it, witnessing the disempowerment of so many of the birthing women. And I would frequently yell at the TV.

    Eutra- wow, so close now. Yay! I hope your last week at work isn't stressful.
    Jen- I can't believe you have hit the third tri mark. How exciting.
