You can recieve your own baby.

Did you recieve your own baby?

I had a feeling I would. I really wanted to and that intention came to be in the last delicious moments..

I reached the point where everything felt too much, like I couldn't quite do it anymore....

And then I suddenly recalled all I had studied and realized.....
THIS IS TRANSITION!!!

There often comes a moment, where you feel you can't do it, and this is often expressed out loud....

But this is the very moment doula's and midwives listen for .....

It means a very special thing is occurring.... transition...

The time when your body is fully open, you often slow down to take a rest, and then.....baby begins the descent down and out.....

It's magical!!!

It was amazing that in my trance of labour I was still able to connect with all of the rational book knowledge I had gleened....and so the moment of "I can't do it" was quickly followed by... "Oooh that means my baby is coming!!" And I reached down and could feel her sweet head ready there ...
And of course, I COULD do it....!!

Birth is amazing!!! It was absolutely my favourite day of my life! ❤️
