Terrific Birth!

What a wonderful birth. AROM first thing in the morning and the amazing mama took it from there! No further interventions and this wonderful family welcomed their fourth child, Baby Boy N., around 2pm. I had a great time too. The last few births I have attended have had a lot of interventions and as a doula as well as an expectant mom, this was very gratifying to see a birth go so perfectly. And, the dad was wonderful as well. I (half-) joked that he can be my doula next time :)

yey!

i have to tell you, every birth i have attended so far have been completely natural. so now i have a friend who wants me, but then doesn't want me, b/c she says all i've seen is the ideal and the reality is that she doesn't birth that way. i'm trying to tell her that she is exactly what i need to experience. but i don't say too much b/c i don't want to pressure her.
