A recent, frustrating birth
I have to get my son in a second so I'll be back to post more but...
I went to the most frustrating (as of yet) birth as a doula yesterday... Mom would not push for over 3 hours, it was to the point where we had exhausted all ideas and possibilities (rest, nourishment, encouragement, homeopathy, pushing positions, emotional issues, people and places to push to find the right combination, anything anyone could think of). I walked away feeling so widely frustrated that it took me a few hours to hone in on what was exactly so hard about it all.
I'll have to write more, little one crying, but soon when I have the time I'll be back...

Julie,
Just breathe...and I know the frustration you are feeling.
I know you know this, but we aren't responsible for outcomes. The "good" ones or the not-so-good ones.
"This isn't my birth..." is my mantra when choices aren't the choices I would make.
