It is a second attic storage closet.

The majority of deaths in birth are, and always have been, a result of poverty and/or cultural beliefs and practices. Throughout history women have successfully given birth without medical assistance. Today most problems can be traced to fear (which triggers the fight/flight response and shuts down labor), and unnecessary medical intervention. When a woman is well-fed, unafraid, and trusts her body, unassisted birth is a safe choice.

I am just saying that in the MAJORITY of cases, healthy women with healthy pregnancies do not necessarily NEED medical intervention. It's nice, however, to know that it is available to us when we do NEED it.

I hope your cousin is enjoying her beautiful child and I hope that you will enjoy your own if and when you have them.

There are things that you can do during your pregnancy to help to get your baby ligned up in the right position. Sitting in the right postures, spending time on hands and knees, certain exercises, using a birthing ball etc.

Even if the baby is posterior it is still so very possible to have a calm birth like this one. Were you having back labor, is that how you knew the baby was posterior? Did you try anything during your birthing time to get him to turn? How did you stay relaxed?

I gave birth to a 9 pound baby at home unassisted. It was not planned that way. This just went too fast. Anyway, he was posterior and pushing was EXTREMELY difficult. I tore quite a bit and my son ended up with some trauma to his head and face. Your experience looks so peaceful. My experience was hard work!
