(^.^) I hope we can too. Oh and I have a tilled uterus so I got server back pains then the front pains. I’m not sure how “normal” labor is but they told me that’s why I felt it a lot worse in my back lol.

I’m so glad you were able to have support when you husband was deployed. And you are so right about the birth. Thank you for your thoughts! I love hearing from other mothers who have experienced birth. It’s been very comforting.

One of the things that I discovered with my first birth is that it really doesn’t matter how it happens. Either way, when its over, there’s a baby…and that is what counts–what you do with that relationship afterwards.

I was fortunate enough to have a doula for the birth of my daughter–there is an organization called Operation Special Delivery that seeks to connect doulas for military women and military wives when the spouse is deployed, etc and cannot be at the birth. It ended up that I needed am emergency C-section, and she stayed with me until I was back in my room with the baby–she’d been there for three days by the time she left.

That was very sweet of you to tell her about me and ask about flexible pricing when you yourself have so many things to keep track of and take care of. *hug*

I really look forward to hearing about your experience with a doula and am so excited that you found one close to home. Perhaps down the road I’ll have another baby and my due date won’t fall on such a busy time!

I’m very grateful that my midwife is covered by my insurance. It’s too bad you weren’t able to find one when you were pregnant, but it’s wonderful that you can look back on your labor experience with such a positive attitude. I’m also glad to see that you no longer feel like a failure for the epidural. It’s really easy for me to talk about having a natural birth before I get there! I pray I can take the pain, but 18 hours is a long time! You did what you could and the epidural might have calmed you down enough to get your baby out. Sometimes we need those modern medicinal marvels. You’ve got a great attitude and I’m really glad to know you. Here’s hoping we can get together and chat more. :)
