You would be a fabulous birth coach and doula.

It is true that things never seem to go the way we have planned (even open minded)! My son was born last July & I had prepared for everything except induction, because we thought I'd go over.. and at 38 weeks my water broke but did not put me into labor, which is the one thing that I hadn't researched yet (because I still had 3 weeks before "induction"), so my plans were thrown out the window when the dr's pushed pitocin hard due to me waiting 4 hours to go in. But like you, all I wanted was a healthy baby & a healthy mama. :) Boys are so much fun, I hope you are loving every minute with your little guy! I can't believe how quickly the last 10 months have gone! Your little man is adorable! Thank you for sharing your sweet heart for the Lord & trust in Him- you are a wonderful mama! Congrats!

It is almost HARDER than vaginal..especially if you have labored for so long!

Your story is so encouraging after I have been feeling like a failure for not having the childbirth I had prepared for. We also prayed daily for a healthy baby and a healthy mama and ultimately that's what we got and that's all that matters!

Motherhood is a miracle. I am so glad to hear that you are at peace with all of the events surrounding your birth as the event is of God in every way that it plays out. I do want to voice some frustration with your OBGYN/Midwife group for going the C-Section route when you were at 9.5. Of course, I wasn't there, so my two cents may be worthless, but I might try seeking an "evidence based" practioner for the next go round; a practice that would review your birth plan seriously with you, not talk about induction until at least 41 weeks, not require an IV port and constant baby monitoring automatically, etc. etc. etc. There are lots of amazing groups out there that actually practice non-intervention on a regular basis, and not just for us crazy "God made my body to do this" mommies. God bless you and your sweet family!

This really is a great birth story. Yo...Congrats! This really is a great birth story. You are so positive about your experience and I think that is just awesome. I had to have a c-section with my daughter. We found out at 36 weeks that she was breech and I was not willing to try the 'versions' to move her or do anything that could potentially hurt her. But I remember sobbing the day we found this out because I felt like I was missing out on childbirth. That I was a failure in some way because things weren't going to go as I had planned. <br />But God loves to remind me he is in control - the night before my scheduled c-section, I went into labor and was at 5cm when I got to the hospital. So I feel something similar in that I got to experience some of labor and then have my sweet girl in the way that was the best for her. And how can anyone be disappointed when the end result is that sweet little one in your arms. <br />Thank you for sharing your story and for always being so positive and quick to give God the glory. I'm so glad I found your blog!<br />~Heather<br />Pittsburgh, PAHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18182482066246686095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983209524173572063.post-3492964968020011182013-05-27T16:23:13.211-04:002013-05-27T16:23:13.211-04:00What an amazing story!

How cool that the Lord provided you with that song at the exact moment that you needed it!? Soak up every sweet moment (I know you've heard this a bazillion times!) but it really does go by SO fast. It literally seems like a few weeks ago LK was just a tiny little newborn in her bassinet. Every stage is so fun though and motherhood becomes more rewarding with every passing day. <br /><br />You're in my prayers for whatever reason you may need at the time! Take care pretty mama! <br /><br />-Ashley<br />www.godblessournest.blogspot.comAshley P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14515761920398087559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983209524173572063.post-82024149512645564202013-05-27T12:36:15.201-04:002013-05-27T12:36:15.201-04:00That was beautiful!

I don't know what to say but how I'm happy to hear that both of you area OK because you had me worried for a minute there. I went through (almost) exactly the same experience (minus the epidural). I pushed and went through ALL the stages of labor but the little guy didn't want to come out so I had a C-Section too... Although, I did feel like a failure for a little bit (blaming myself for taking epidural) God was totally in control. Healthy baby and healthy mama is what matters the most. <br />btw, our baby came out so alert too and was awake and looking at his DADDY in first minutes. <br />Enjoy that baby! <br />Cuddle and love on him because time flies SOOOOO fast. <br /><br />happymedley.blogspot.comAnna Demkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379151456898601145noreply@blogger.com
