A little over 2 months after the birth of my first son
Exactly 2 months after the birth of my second son

And, more specifically, my birth matters to me
I was going through some old facebook pictures the other day and I came across some pictures of me taken when the boys were around the same age. Wow!! Maybe it is just because I know myself, but I can see how much healthier (and I don't just mean physically) I am after my second son's birth and I think that has more than a little to do with my positive birth experience. It makes me so sad to see where I was after my first son's birth--my outward appearance was simply a manifestation of how sick I was on the inside. What a difference a positive birth experience--regardless of method of delivery--makes. Have I mentioned how blessed I am lately?!?!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Cathi! My HBAC turned CBAC was actually featured on ICAN's blog thanks to my wonderful midwife who submitted it for me :) I linked it in a post here, but so you don't have to dig through them, here it is:

My first son's story is in there at the beginning as well, since it, of course, is part of my journey to E's birth and to my next one :)
