This is the type of tub I used for this birth, used to be available at Canadian Tire |
DD1 weighed in at 4000g/ 8lbs 15oz, with a 36cm head and she was 52cm long (in case you are interested...). Even though the birth was painful at times, especially when that lip got squished... I enjoyed every minute of it! Giving birth is the most amazing, empowering thing a woman can do. We get pushed to our limits, yes, but we are made to do this and I would encourage every woman to embrace her experience with all she has! Of course this kind of birth requires patient care providers and no interference, unless absolutely required which, sadly, is not necessarily the norm. That is what I am trying to achieve in my little corner of this world, to let women give birth with loving support and without interference, helping them the best I can when needed.
