As excited as I was to have a natural birth and as hard as I worked to achieve one, it was not in the cards for me, nor will it ever be. I know how anxious you were following Justin's difficult birth and I'm glad that you are able to experience this, but I don't think I'll ever stop grieving my physical shortcomings. On a brighter note, I thought you'd like to know that my great-great-grandmother saved my great-grandpa's life by carrying him in a sling! He's was born small and sickly and she carried him in a sling every moment until he was strong. He lived to be over 90 years old and went through eight wives (one by one)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190983744142742297.post-71213012574638998612008-03-29T08:01:00.000-07:002008-03-29T08:01:00.000-07:00Great post, April.

Birth is sometimes a controversial topic and I think alot of my friends avoid the subject with me because they don't want to say, "What the...??? You're CRAZY!" But I think if they knew more about what a homebirth entailed and the benefits that come with it, they would breathe a sigh of relief that I hadn't gone off the deep end and myself and my baby were safer than they envisioned. Ya know? Maybe you should add to the midwife goody bag that they bring drugs for in case of hemorrhage. I know my friends worry about that since a birthing woman "can bleed to death in 7 minutes". My family were sure happy to hear that every licensed midwife brings drugs in case of emergency.<br><br>Anyway, love your thoughts, experience and sharing attitude. And I've been thinking about Crystal every day, hoping that baby comes SOON, and dying to hear the birth story! God speed! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190983744142742297.post-36447973488290646072008-03-31T12:25:00.000-07:002008-03-31T12:25:00.000-07:00I have wanted to have a home birth since Jacob but...I have wanted to have a home birth since Jacob but Jason seems to get grossed out about having "fluids" all over the house and he freaks out every time pressuring me to have drugs even though I say no.

What a GINORMOUS baby! :) <br><br>I also loved the photos you sent of your Tyler-belly and Tyler's birth. They made me kind of jealous because I had so many less photos than you and I would have loved some of those after bonding ones. Since it was so late my photographer's jetted home and I was too out of it to notice we didn't take any. Next baby! <br><br>Don't you wish we could post all the real photos and everyone would just dang enjoy them as they were meant to be?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
