I have finally mustered up the courage to get back in those birth rooms! I helped at a birth the other day and it just felt so right and I felt so good afterwards, too. last night I was at a birth from 9pm until 8am this morning. This woman was having an extremely painful labor and I stayed with her for most of it, save 2 hours when I slept in the office for a bit. Eventually at 8am this morning she had to go to the hospital for a cesarean for a series of reasons. Since I've arrived I've learned a lot about the value of natural births and it broke my heart to see all of her hard work go into a surgical birth.
