I needed to comment on the follow up of Vanessa,Layla and her very beautiful Raphael and I wish no disrespect to her or her choices. I was watching and crying as we all no doubt were but when I saw her baby being born by caesarean my whole body wrenched and I cried new tears that caught me by surprise. I cried for all the babies denied the chance to be born vagianlly, it is not the gentle birth that they promise. I know she has her live baby and I wish her all the love in the world for that. I was intrigued that her epidural didn't work and my thoughts were that she needed to feel the pain of her child being born. I wonder what difference it would make to the heeling process to have a subsequent pregnancy supported by a midwife who could help you on the journey? It looked as if she chose technology and obstetric care which can give you a live baby but doesn't address those deeper concerns about the bodies ability to birth. I wonder if she explored the option of one-on-one midwifery care?
Just some thoughts I had on it, Megan. -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics. Visit <http://www.acegraphics.com.au> to subscribe or unsubscribe.
