Well done Jess. Your presence "with woman"
overall is what counted to this couple, and they have acknowledged and benefited
from that. Keep up the great work. Kind Regards, Lois

Dear List,
I just had a
wonderful follow through experiance - minus a birth!
i have been
following this wonderful women thru since mid 2002,and she was due 7/1/03,
however went 10days over with her now 21month yo.
her 1st
labour was a swift 6 hrs, so i had a hunch this one maybe
the same!
she was booked into be induced at 8am fri 17/01, so of
course it came
as no suprise when she told me she got a show in
the morn of the
16th!
anyway, got a call at 2.15am fri 17 [today!] that she was
in the
b/centre with 2-3min apart, so i broke a few land speed
records
and got in there at 2.45, the baby was born at
2.42!!
the amazing woman ruptured her membranes at 12.20 and
within 3hrs
had a beautiful 8pound baby boy!
the thing
that amazed me was the look on the dad's face when i
walked in, he
could not stop apologising!! he was dissapointed i didnt get there in
time!! i reasuured him that this was about him his wife and baby not me
and to relax! but it was so beautiful to
see how they wanted me to be
a part of this experiance with them
'because i had made the time to
come to all the app's" said dad!
we really are lucky that there
are people out there so open and
accepting to let students like us be
a part of their birthing
miracles!
so i have now been to 3.5 births!!
take
care,
love jess.
ps - mum and baby [and dad!] doing
fine!
