Homebirth General Discussion #7

Hey eutra- just noticed that u have been chatting with "midwifethinking " on twitter. I didn't say till now, but she is my Midwife. I had to laugh that she tweeted our conversation about me asking what to do at one point in labour And she replied "what does ur body tell u to do?" I said "it says panic" so she said "ok do that". It was pretty funny in hindsight. It was also completely liberating to do absolutely whatever I needed to do to birth my baby.

Nearly finished writing my birth story. Will probably post sometime tomorrow. It is soooo long but I needed to write it out now before I forgot to much. Will edit and add to it tomorrow before posting.

Oh bella! i am so excited! i want to read it! i was like you and wrote it up soon after M was born as i just wanted to get it all down and remember all the emotion that went with it! so so amazing! i recommend printing it off though as there was a BIG BB blip during the week that i had her and posted the story...so lost everything! comments and all! so sad! thankfully i had a copy and a gorgeous BB member was able to retrieve some of the comments for me...

Yes! I chat quite a lot with MidwifeThinking on twitter! She's wonderful and helped me out so many times during my pregnancy! Lucky you to have her as your midwife!! I did see her tweets about you (although I didn't know it was you at the time!) and thought it was so sweet - made me very nostalgic for C's birth! Can't wait to read your birth story!
