The rest of the story is coming soon! Joanna: I'm sorry that you experienced a less-than-ideal birth the first time around too, but glad that you, like me, were able to have a positive experience the second time. Lyn: The necklace I was wearing was my 'birth necklace', made from beads sent by women in my due date club on the mothering website I belong to. We each sent one another a bead with a positive message and then made necklaces out of them as a sign of solidarity and strength and as a reminder that we are not alone in our birthing experiences. It's pretty cool to think that billions of women have done it over the centuries and that it's still the same basic process. That really blows my mind and makes me feel connected to something bigger than myself. Like I said before, I think it's the closest to spirituality that I've gotten in quite awhile! Eieswideopen: I will watch the video you posted, thanks. Thank you, Charlotte and Chloe. The rest of the story is coming soon!

Maybe it would have made a difference. Though I was somewhat frightened about you birthing at home this time I knew you would do your research. And I am very happy to have a beautiful grandson. I was lucky to have had a great old-fashioned doctor, the same one who delivered me, all those years ago who didn't feel it necessary to do any more than the situation required. All three of you were born naturally in the hospital, and back then there was a nursery for the babies so the mothers could rest when needed, while nurses tended to the babies. I think this contributed to a quicker recovery, which was good since fathers back then didn't have rights under FMLA to stay at home after the birth. I have to say I think you looked fabulous in your pictures right after TNS was born. And who else wear's jewelry while giving birth?

I was so naive! When I got pregnant again I read Spiritual Midwifery and I got real angry about my first experience. Against almost all the doctor's wishes, my son was born naturally. As the last poster said, the commonality of (y)our story makes me so sad... thank you for advocating for real birth.
