Sounds like you did great, and there is nothing wrong with some screaming. You set a goal for yourself, got through it, and DID IT! Sounds like a beautiful birth to me (and I see lots!) Glad you had such a lovely birth at TBI, they are wonderful. Love, Jenny I’m on the same page as worldmama. Sounds like you did great, and there is nothing wrong with some screaming.

I thought I was going to be a calm and peaceful rockstar like you. Not so much... Lucy: Ahhh! Six! That's such a wonderful age. I'm so excited for six. dahli: Thanks you for reading it! worldmama: Thanks! I was so hoping for one of THOSE stories. Maybe next time. ;) Jen: Oh no. Jen, it's TOO EARLY for you to be reading birth stories. You are a stong, healthy, and powerful woman and you will have an awesome birth. But you can't even start thninking about it until you are at least 6 months along. OK? Then, let me know, and I'll get you a ton of super positive ones to read. Which, weirdly enough, you will devour. That's how it works. hliv: Thanks, my friend. I thought I was going to be a calm and peaceful rockstar like you. Not so much…

I'm not sure I should have read this so soon. Part of me loved reading your story, what you went through and the honesty of it. But I'm having difficulty typing right now and am loosing feeling in my hands. I think I'm freaking out……………... Thank you for posting this. I’m not sure I should have read this so soon.

It can be a very scary and very painful experience and that doesn't make you any less of a person or a mother. Mine was more like yours, so I really hate reading the stories of the easy, empowering births. I don't think the manner of the baby arriving is as important as some make it out to be. You brought him into the world. Congratulations. Great story, thanks for posting. It can be a very scary and very painful experience and that doesn’t make you any less of a person or a mother.

Jenny, thank you so much for sharing your birth story. It doesn't sound at all negative, just extremely honest. You should be really proud of yourself, you had a really tough time with labour but you coped so well. It is such a joy to see you being such a great mum to such a great kid! You remind me of myself, the way you are so smitten with your little man. It's my little boy's birthday in the new year and I've been doing loads of reminiscing, I can't believe he's about to turn six! Lucy x Happy Birthday Clark!
