Just had to share what a massive high I am on today.. I attended the most gorgeous homebirth today... I've worked with the woman for the last 6 months planning her birth..
This morning I arrived at her house at 1115 after she phoned saying things were on... She graceful with such amazing strength and power pushed her baby into my hands at 1153 .. wow it was quick ... the second midwife didn't arrive till the baby was 7 mins old.. I've never been alone at a homebirth before.. slightly scary but totally exhilarating ....
I felt Strong ... going back and forth from kneeling on the floor to standing... I squatted to catch the baby.. something I haven't been able to do for long periods of time ever before! I didn't sweat one drop ... I used to sweat a lot at births it would run off me.. not today.. I was calm .. cool and collected..
It was a gorgeous gorgeous birth.. I feel so alive,awake to the power of women, the power of birth .. and so very blessed to be able to share in someone elses birth.. arhh tears!
ok that's all from me today K xxx

Incredible! I wanted a home birth but my husband was too nervous about it. The strength of a woman during childbirth is just profound. And lucky lady who was able to have such a short labor and delivery! I pushed for 4.5 hours!
AWESOME! The doctor that I work for had 3 home births! I think that is amazing! Keep up the GREAT work!
