I am due in June with our first baby, a boy, and reading your son's birth story has helped dispel so many of the fearful things one hears about labor. I feel inspired by your confidence and calm throughout and look forward to hearing more about the books and material you drew from to stay so level headed during your labor.

Isn't it weird walking past all of the doors and hearing sounds and knowing that babies are being born in each of them. Good memories.

It's encouraging because I've heard so many horror stories! :)<br /><br />I'm curious - and maybe this is too personal (I've never had a baby before) - but why couldn't you give birth in the tub? I know that many people have water births so I just wondered how that would be any different.<br /><br />Congratulations on your healthy baby boy!chalaynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588631608351614332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763995892807876510.post-33527203210690738662014-01-28T17:03:00.826-08:002014-01-28T17:03:00.826-08:00I think this is one of the most beautiful and enco...I think this is one of the most beautiful and encouraging birth stories I have ever read.

I think you described natural labor perfectly - with mine I felt like I could completely cope unless I had to do something that took me out of my zone (haha like walking down the hall). It looks like we might have even given birth at the same hospital...and I'm set to give birth there again in a few weeks with the midwives. Congrats to you on educating yourself and going natural with your first baby, that's awesome.
