Isabella Marie's Birth Story ›
I’m not sure where Isabella’s birth story begins. I’d been having contractions that started and stopped for about 10 days.
[…]
Part of me can’t believe I really did it. In fact the first thing I said to Isabella was “We did it, baby! We really did it!” I’m so glad I wasn’t in a hospital. I was very loud and someone would have tried to shush me. Plus, with the horrible back pain it would have been hard to say no to drugs. I never even thought about this being a VBAC once labor began (it hit me a few hours after she was born that I finally had my VBAC), but a hospital would have considered me high risk. Homebirth rules! I just wanted to shout from the rooftops because I felt so great. There was no comparison to Abigail’s c-section birth. This is the way birth is meant to be!
