I have even contemplated an unassisted childbirth- just read Laura Kaplan Shanley's book titled, "Unassisted Childbirth" and completely believe that this option is an excellent and safe option for most women! Sounds like a glorious experience.

I remember when she was crowning in the pool and I looked down to see this big white cloud which was her 'caul', I had not heard of it up until then! I love the pic of her feeding with her little pixi hat! It never fails to amaze me how soft the cheeks and neck of a new babe are! Well done!Flowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305299388483784750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767273139413386607.post-21897578234023766142012-04-28T20:30:13.096+12:002012-04-28T20:30:13.096+12:00Fantastic, Rhiannon!!

All of my friends who have had babies have had terrible birth experiences all ending up in caesareans. There is hope that a good birth is possible!<br />Congratulations again!<br />XPhoebePhoebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613979981355164437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767273139413386607.post-37510577849793325212012-04-28T16:41:20.171+12:002012-04-28T16:41:20.171+12:00I thoroughly enjoyed reading your story and Mollie...I thoroughly enjoyed reading your story and Mollie's story.. thanks.<br />I'm glad it was such a great one!<br />Brought back a lot of memories and familiar sensations though and some of them are freaking me out just thinking about them I have to admit!. <br />I am a natural birth advocate when it's safe, but I can sadly see it slipping away from me again this time, as induction looms... I don't want a repeat of number 3 who was born grey and floppy after a traumatic shoulder dystocia experience.. (he's fine by the way! Starts school in 3 weeks)<br /><br />Anyhow - we'll see! <br />I hope you're enjoying those beautiful early amazing days.. Have fun.OP SHOP MAMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04178232898311777366noreply@blogger.com
