I was always there but there was a time where you just were. You owned your power! My presence was there but at several times I just stepped back and let you birth. It was such an honor to see such an amazing woman own her own power as you did. I am forever grateful! (and totally not mad) Leah, even at your birth, there was negative space.

I knew you were there through my whole birth and that, to me, was reassuring. Every woman is different I suppose, but I needed the constant reassurance! Don't worry, I give myself all the credit for pushing out that 9.25lb little angel, but (and don't get mad) I couldn't have done it without you!

The quote that was recently shared, "You are a birth servant. Do good without show or fuss. If you must take the lead, lead so that the mother is helped, yet still free and in charge. When the baby is born, they will rightly say: "We did it ourselves!" from the Tao Te Ching really resonates with your article. Good job!

Your insights are telling. She expected probably deep inside she would have a cesarean. But with the right care provider and if she had called to have you THERE, she might have had a different outcome. So sad. Wow, I am so sad for the second mom. Your insights are telling.

That is horrible they wouldn't let anyone back in triage with her. I have not been allowed because only one support person is allowed. But to have no one. But interesting that in the end it sounds like it was the best choice for her. Indeed births go the way they are supposed to. Thanks for sharing.
