Anyway, you're going to have that TIMES TWO! And you're right, c section or no c section (I didn't like that part of the movie either), you're gonna have that love potion number 18 coursing through your veins, making you like a lovesick mama bear! In my birth class with Penny Simkin, there happened to be a midwife and a doula taking the class (mostly for their husband's benefit) and those two people happened to be the two out of the class who needed c sections. When we got together a few months later for a reunion, one of them said something very sweet, with tears in her eyes, 'Some babies need to be lifted into the light instead of pushed into the light.' So, whatever kind of birth you have, it's your own experience and it will be lovely.Dakotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11391721545999294400noreply@blogger.com
