Today is a continuation of my birth story from earlier this
week. You can read Part 1 here.
 | Thresh's Birth Story Out of the tub & resting in bed |
|
There is a lot that
happened right after Thresh made his entrance into the outside world: getting
into bed, skin to skin between Thresh and his daddy, cutting the cord,
delivering the placenta, eating Greek yogurt with almonds, diapering Thresh,
being made a smoothie with a piece of my placenta, trying to breastfeed, my
midwives and doula cleaning up and later on being stitched up; but instead of
detailing the events I want to reflect more on how I felt that night and beyond
about my son’s birth. |

 I am
grateful to Jennifer and Devin Hanson for giving me permission to add their
birth story to our Birth Story Archive.
Their generosity is premiering our first twin story. They have an inspiring story that is a testament to faith and belief in
your body, your coach and your birth team.
Jennifer
was also kind enough to share some thoughts about Bradley Method® classes, care providers and life as a momma
of twins. Read our “virtual interview”
below the links to her birth story. |

 So
your estimated due date is approaching...or maybe it has passed. Those
little ones we are carrying are happily ensconced in their warm, loving
homes. To us “carriers”, it feels like we have been pregnant forever!!
I
remember that feeling very well. We have always had the good fortune
of having our babies before our due date. I am mentally preparing for
this baby to be the one that teaches us how to wait...and since we are
not planning to have any more children after this, reminding myself to
treasure every moment of the pregnancy. |

 So your due date came…and went…what do you do now?
One of Dr. Bradley’s sayings was, “It’s Not Nice To Fool
Mother Nature”. There is a whole chapter
of his book, Husband-Coached Childbirth, devoted to that topic, in which he
talks about the concerns he has with trying to rush the process.
Did you know your due date was, at best, an estimate? Did you know that only 4% of babies arrive on their actual due date? There is no hard and fast rule for when your
baby is going to make his or her entrance. |
