You are a DOLL for posting this so soon!

I could feel the wrench when you mentioned waiting for the pool to be ready, I remember literally running across the room stripping off clothes and diving (best as a labouring woman can) into that warm pool of solace...aaahhhhhhh.

And DS - ha ha ha ha - funny little show off fishy, isn't he wonderful and will entertain you for months on his view of things, I'm sure

Yaaaaay for you, yay for Tallarah, DS and DP, YAY for water and birthing in the most comfortable place possible

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo!

Always so eloquent with your words, and even more so after having a baby only 24+ hours ago!!! You are amazing girl!!!

I'm so happy for you, DP and Oscar. You should be very proud of yourself and that body of yours - it did exactly what you wanted it to, where you wanted it to.

Enjoy those beautiful newborn cuddles and can't wait to meet Tallarah.

I've been collecting positive water and homebirth stories, for my own empowerment and also for educating my DH. Thank you, what a wonderful story, and what an inspiration.

I read this the other night & didn't get a chance to reply. I just wanted you to know that I am very inspired by your beautiful birth. I can't believe that the pollies want to take this away from women! Enjoy your babymoon!
