Really considering a water birth for baby #2. Had my first at home and it was great but I tore bad and heard water can take some of the pressure off and make it more gentle to prevent future tearing.
@Talina, Talina, I was sure I had responded to you, but can’t find my response now! Yes! water definitely helps relieve the pressure and drastically reduces the chances of tearing too. I would strongly recommend joining the yahoo homebirth group (unassisted childbirth) even if you’re planning a hospital waterbirth, as the women there have immense and incredibly experience with which they can honestly strengthen and prepare you.
That was such a beautiful video, you had me in tears. Wonderful. .-= Heather @notesfromlapland´s last blog ..Things I’d forgotten about England. =-.

Very inspirational story for those with “slow progress”. I was Amy’s (DoulaMomma) doula and found your story through the link on her blog.

@Jane @OnlineMum, Thank you so much Jane! It was an amazing experience and I can’t wait to do it again one day! 🙂
I’ve always thought that a water birth makes sense. If I’m ever fortunate enough to have a child.
Visiting from SITS. Hope you had a wonderful holiday with your new little one!
