My fourth baby was one of twins, and her twin left early in the pregnancy...not quite as traumatic as for you, but it made the due date very different to what I thought it was. But she’s never forgotten. I was laying there with her pregnant with my twins now, and saying that I’d never had two babies in my belly before, and she reminded me that I had……she really misses her twin sometimes, and has needed a bit of extra mothering. And Krystie……..good lawd, but you’ve gone through the wringer of birth, sex and death more than a few times!!! You must have some incredible deep places as a result. I can’t even fathom what your experiences must have been like, and wouldn’t do you the disservice of pretending that I can, but I’m so very very glad that what I wrote about spoke to you. From what you’ve written, if anyone deserves a compassionate, gentle, and supportive hand from both of the worlds of birthing it’s you……. I’ve got a big wish for you to find that perfect blend, and have a birthing experience that will make it all seem worthwhile. Thank you all so much for resonating with what I wrote for a start, and giving me such amazing feedback.

Not because I did not trust birth ( this of course has been a long journey and had its dark places) but because I came to want the best of both worlds and could not work out how I could make that happen within the context of the war that you describe so beautifully. I want the control, trust, respect for the birthing process, peace and comfort of home in a hospital setting. I know I now need the reassurance that the resus team is 30 seconds away, but thinking about trying to set up a sacred private space in hospital cant help but feel like a battle from the outset when I know how hospitals can work....and all the labelling and pathologizing that can be put on women who take a powerful position around these needs and desires. I have had incredible, life enhancing, profound experiences with both hospital staff and homebirthmidwives which I am profoundly grateful for...its a terrible irony that so much damage is done to birthing women and families by the state of maternity care in aust...on both sides of the fence. I think I got to the point where negotiating care felt too hard...and looking for a way out of that now. as the years pass and the grief wears its way though me I feel more and more detached from it all. I think maybe that is the key, just know what feels good for me and make that happen in the most simple undramatic way possible. I guess I had soooo much emotion around all my birthing experiences I couldn't conceive of the possibility that it wasn't my war (I was pretty pissed off about a lot of things that happened during and after my birthing experiences too its gotta be said!)...yeah...i'm going for buy out I reckon. ha! 'be the change you want to see in the world' i kinda get that now. not easy in the context of a war zone and so much loss but if anything will get me there it will be the incredible privilege and magic of pregnancy and birthing.<br />thanks for your post. i loved it. xxkrystienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887847079702315563.post-3710777520909341242011-11-26T10:43:56.910+10:002011-11-26T10:43:56.910+10:00Beatiful post! thank you <3 (from a freebirthin...Beatiful post! thank you <3 (from a freebirthing mama)Lia joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12795882304547114044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887847079702315563.post-15948132664650636972011-11-26T08:11:14.679+10:002011-11-26T08:11:14.679+10:00Beautiful openminded soul you are.i love reading y...Beautiful openminded soul you are.i love reading your words.sending you and your family great blessings of love peace joy and dreams being your realityturtle09https://www.blogger.com/profile/11450000688831293954noreply@blogger.com
