I gave birth to my little son, Jack, in our loungeroom in a pool. My husband, my mum and midwife were there. It was the most amazing, incredible experience. 6 hour labor, plus 1 hour for the placenta. Very smooth labor, very peaceful. So glad I did it this way.
Yes it was tough, and painful. For a while there I was just being rocked from contraction to contraction, feeling like I was drowning in the pain. But it really wasn’t that traumatic. The first thing I said afterwards(after a while of exclaiming over my baby of course!), was “That really wasn’t that bad!”
Now I feel like I don’t ever have to be scared of labor again. I feel so proud of myself!
