Nawwwww u girls are making me worried that I am going to miss my MW terribly. She has been a huge support. DH told her today that he thought I had picked the perfect MW for us. She was just the perfect mix of personality and skills.
Oh and we named our little one Madeleine Louise Suzanne.
Aaaw, what a beautiful name for your precious daughter, Bella. How is DD1 adjusting to being a big sister? And how are you? These early days and weeks are such a precious time.
Eutra - I agree that you should put in writing what you wanted to say to your MW. What lovely feedback that would be for her. I felt the same way about the MW I had for my 1st and 2nd homebirths. This pregnancy, when I found out she had retired, I was devastated. But I adore the MW that we have now.I am so lucky to have found her. There was an article about homebirth in our local paper recently (on the fron page). It was very positive and discussed the difficulties that pregnant women have in accessing (and affording) homebirth MW's. My MW was quoted, and it mentions that she is the only registered homebirth MW in our area.
Hi HotI, the rebozo sounds amazing. I have only ever read about it. I have never seen it performed. I hope bub stays head down now. I hope you are well.
ETA - Oh, Eutra, I forgot to add that I loved reading your birth story - wow, what a journey! You were amazing, your MW was amazing. I could really relate to the part where you were talking about c-sections! During my HB with DD2 (at transition), I remeber thinking 'I can see why women have C-sections'. And how precious is it that your DS was born on his dad's birthday. Just beautiful.
