Us with Danielle, the birthing assistant at Fred's birth! She's training to be a midwife at Midwives Rising. We were there to watch the film, Freedom for Birth. It was very very good. It was a huge shock to me that so many aren't able to give birth the way they want to, the way they feel safe--even in this country! In Europe! I feel so incredibly blessed to have had the experience I did, the way I did. Birth was not uncomfortable or horrible, or terrifying. It was peaceful, beautiful, purposeful, empowering. I did it. I did it. I had the support of my doctor, midwife, birth assistant, my mom, and most importantly my husband (along with many many other family and friends). I had God with me too, and I did it. It's so amazing to feel this way! I want every birthing woman to experience the satisfaction I did, by giving birth in the way that she feels safest, whether it be in the hospital, in a birthing center or at home.
Best thing ever....
