“Life is not orderly. No matter how we try to make it so, right in the middle of it lose a leg, fall in love, drop a jar of applesauce.” - Natalie Goldberg
At home? Your self? I would like to hear the long version of the story if you don't mind sharing it. Simply amazing.
Congratulations!!!!
Well, the midwives were there, of course, but they just let me do my thing (I hate being bothered while in labour)
I started to get really uncomfortable around 3:30ish pm, so my midwife checked me out and I was at 6 cm, so she let me hop in the pool. I laboured in there the entire time. I think it was around 6:30/7:00 when I was starting to feel like holy fuck I can't do this anymore, so I knew at that point I had to be getting pretty close, lol. It felt like my back was about to break, but my midwife checked his heart rate and told me he was positioned super low, so it wouldn't be too much longer. I started to feel the urge to push a little, but my bag of water was still intact, so after a few pushes and it not breaking, I was told to just pinch it between my fingers ( daisybuchanan), and it gave right away. After that it was just contraction after contraction and what felt like a lot of pushing. He didn't come out in 2 pushes like Theo did, haha. I felt his little face, then his shoulders eased out, and so on. And that's pretty much the "long" version.
