So it's not just me!! My 'baby' turned 3 on the 3/1 and her Dad and I (with
two lively boys as well) all piled into bed that morning after she had
opened her presents and went through the photo album of that preg and birth.
A girlfriend came out to visit that day (who knows me very well
thankfully) because as she walked out the door, I looked at the clock and
said "head on view right now" - birth about a minute later at 1520. I'm
still on a high years later, I don't want any more babies now, but loved
labour (hated preg).
enjoy the teenager Sue, and I'll smile through the tantrum toddler stage!

Hello all
Please indulge me.
13 years ago at this time exactly I was in labour with my youngest. After
an elective C/S and a sucessful but totally medically managed VBAC, I was
finally experiencing a truly normal labour.
It still amazes me that even after 13 years I have such strong feelings
about it, each year at this time I re-live the birth in my head and feel
such joy at the memories. Sadly I do not have this memory for my two other
childrens' births. I know that I will still be awake at 12.30 tonight which
is the time she was born, and every stage of that evening is still so clear
in my mind.
I guess this is the reason we feel so passionate about what we do, even
those of us who have not had the experience, know how precious it is, and
want as many women as possible to know this too.
Ah well, tomorrow I have a new teenager in the family.
Thanks for listening
Sue
