My da...Thank you very much for your kind comments. My daughter is three and half now and still very beautiful. I have come a long way since I wrote this story (I reposted it here exactly as I wrote it in 2008), including writing a very detailed paper about it for my doula training, and I have come to recognize so many positives about the experience that I did not see at the time. I really think all my experiences: this birth, my unmedicated hosptial birth with my son, and my upcoming homebirth with baby #3, will all make me a better doula and childbirth educator.Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00621569580858604541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294794766428738036.post-41188547483253146832011-08-04T16:07:20.095-07:002011-08-04T16:07:20.095-07:00Brittany - I just wanted to encourage you that man...Brittany - I just wanted to encourage you that many women don't get the birth they dream of the first time. I think we do a disservice to moms not to let them know that the first time is usually longer and a little more intense. Mine definitely was and I also "gave in" and took both pit and an epi. But, I refuse to feel guilty - though my second daughter was born at home - and I hope you won't in the long run. <br />Just keep focusing on that beautiful daughter!OrganicMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13666452518691554507noreply@blogger.com
