have an unassisted birth

Technically, I didn’t. Since my baby was eventually born in a CS :( But for all intents and purposes, it was unassisted.
My DD was born in an emergency CS after a trial of birth at home 3 years ago, and my experience with the hospital was terrible. So I decided to go solo this time (2 months ago)

The story repeated itself.
2 hours in full dilation and very good and effective contractions, and my (tiny) baby wasn’t coming out. :(

I decided to go to the hospital.

This was without a doubt THE most transformative, enlightening experience of my life!

It’s the most amazing thing you’ll ever do. I had a solo unassisted home birth with my last child. It’s just natural and right. I can’t imagine doing it any other way.
