It sounds like, overall, despite the pain, was a beautiful experience. kudos to you for doing it the way you wanted! <BR/><BR/>I'm also very happy to know birth center/midwife births are a viable option in CH. All DH's friends/family have had very medicated hospital births and that was my fear should I give birth in CH (we chose a homebirth in TX). <BR/><BR/>As for the trauma - we had some other issues but I assure you when A was born and for months after, the thought of doing it again traumatized me. Now, 19 months later, I am desperate for another go at it ;-)<BR/><BR/>All in all, a great story! Well done Mama!Cherisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18309835002251352483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568229.post-45773138158937422002008-02-12T13:28:00.000-08:002008-02-12T13:28:00.000-08:00Great job!

Now that I've had a fully "medical" birth with an epidural etc, I am thinking about going the birthing center route next time. I loved my doctor and hospital and had fully planned on the epidural, interventions, etc, but ended up having mixed feelings about it in the end as well. (Mostly about the recovery. I wondered if I wouldn't have done better if I'd let nature take its course rather than being induced and having an epidural.)<BR/><BR/>I guess that no matter what kind of birth you pursue you end up feeling sort of traumatized! I suppose that is because birth is such a HUGE event (I couldn't stop talking about it for weeks). It sounds like you did a great job--you should be very, very proud!KidKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15178027244239362322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568229.post-5378843287790244162008-02-12T12:59:00.000-08:002008-02-12T12:59:00.000-08:00I think you expressed yourself very well.

Sounds like it was intense - it a really interesting and lovely way.<BR/><BR/>I was really down about my labor afterwards, some things went well and some things didn't and I, too, will re-consider a few things for the next time. But overtime I've been able to let go a lot of my disappointment and I look forward to doing it all again sometime in the future. I actually can't wait to have another baby and feel so empowered because, "hey, I had a baby!"Saritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11474223953990958886noreply@blogger.com
