I've never had a normal physiological childbirth but I am hoping for one next time That would be awesome. Last birth they broke my waters @ 9cm and then as soon as Elijah was born, they jabbed me without even asking! I was so mad later - as if you are going to arc up when the baby has just been put in your arms. I guess they know that.

Yael - I can't remember - I am pretty sure there was very little blood so maybe he didn't do it? You would have to ask him I think!
