I HAD TO CONVERT THESE FILES, SORRY FOR THE QUALITY!
June 28, 2011
We had a busy day celebrating a special anny in our family! While out at the movies, Cars 2, I started having extremely painful contractions. I sat feeling alone, scared, & in tears as I couldn't process my thoughts from my head to come out of my mouth to get my husbands attention to let him know what was going on.
Soon as the movie was over my parents called saying they arrived in town & were at the hotel ready to go eat. We meet up with them at Red Lobster where the contractions were becoming more intense & closer together. I spend the first half of our dining out trying to hide the pain I was in while constantly wiping tears out from under my chin & off my cheeks. My parents asked if we wanted to go home but I quickly declined with a "PLEASE NO!" as having this distraction was easier on me whereas at home I would focus on the pain making it hurt more than it already had.

All night I had contractions on & off but they had lightened in intensity to the point I was able to sleep between contractions but definitely not through the contractions. At around 6 am I started to send out texts to our birth team as I was needing their physical support. I climbed into the tub to relieve the pain while awaiting their arrival.

I'm new to your channel and watching you do this just amazes me! You are so strong! Also, your midwifes seem so sweet. If you have anymore children would you choose home-birthing again? Where your other two children home-births?
You have a new subbie!! :]

@purplezebra1422 I would never have another child if I couldn't birth at home. It's teh ONLY option for me.

I would so much like my wife to give birth like this but it looks... hard to me. You know, I´ll not be the one feeling whatever she´s feeling and I don´t know if that is worse. Like "What exactly are you feeling now?" etc. "Is every thing ok?" I can imagine my heart. Anyway, many experts say this way is better.
