I told Sarah that you're my home birth hero. :-) Way to go! You did an amazing job with Lydia.

I am so glad you got to do it the way you wanted to!! Happy Belated Mother's Day...

Did you actually feel Lydia turn in the tub? I didn't know that.<BR/><BR/>You were so polite that it was funny. I wanted to tell you to stop being so darn polite, and also to start swearing if you had the urge. But I didn't know if those were helpful things to say to a laboring woman, so I let you continue in your polite ways. I guess you did swear when your water broke. I had forgotten that instance.<BR/><BR/>In regards to the squeezing of hands: I read in my birth companion literature to only offer two or three fingers to the laboring woman, never four. If she squeezed all four, it said, she could end up breaking a few of them. I remember being very conscious of how many fingers I was giving you each time, making sure to leave my pinky out of your grasp. You did really squeeze, but I doubt you would've broken any fingers had you been squeezing four. Still, it didn't hurt to be on the safe side, I suppose.<BR/><BR/>I love that last picture of Lydia. So beautiful!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your impression of the birth. And thanks again for letting me be there. It was so amazing. I'm still amazed by you.<BR/><BR/>Happy Mother's Day!Maiasaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816247126179251764noreply@blogger.com
