I would read one or two of those marvelous hippie birth stories each day, and they served as a kind of positive-thinking meditation. Just focusing like that on positive birthing vibes helped transform my own feelings and level of trust in birth. You'll find that it also helps *tremendously* to be working with an awesome midwife who truly trusts birth and women's bodies. I'd also be happy to share with you all that we learned about dealing with hemorrhage. How exciting for you to make this kind of expansive paradigm shift!

I needed to read your words as well as Ina May's. Specifically regarding the bleeding issue (as we talked about once). I haven't read her Guide to Childbirth--- I think I better add it to my list.

It sounds like you are on your way to a GREAT birth! Praise God! I was in a very similar place during my pregnancy with Eli. It sounds like you are on your way to a GREAT birth! Praise God!
