What a wonderful story Isis. An inspiration to many who are facing the same negativity from their doctors. Cheers Judy
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 15/08/2003 3:02:13 pm >>> Hello all, I just wanted to let you all know that I gave birth to a beautiful, bonny, baby boy on the 11th August. Nathan Michael weighed in at 8lb, 8oz/3860g, HC- 36cm, length- 54cm. My labour was fast, powerful and so very, very satisfying. It lasted little under 2 hours, I emerged with a neat 2nd degree tear and easily birthed the placenta with no man-made help!! My milk has come in and I am looking forward to it settling, but so far this whole experience has made me feel so powerful. I wanted to thank all of you for being so supportive after my experience with the evil hospital consultant, I wish I could have seen him straight after the birth.. I would have laughed in his face for being so wrong about my body. I had a beautiful experience, with a beautiful midwife (Lynne Pyke) to help me. Not that I needed it really :-) I am living proof that a woman who sustains a fourth degree tear can birth another baby (a bigger one by 660g, 2 cm length and 3.5cm HC!!) if she feels she is able to. Thank you all again for being wonderful people!
