As we are programed to see and feel the world through our eyes we are oblivious to the " alienation " of this process. I had a baby who was not well and tired to tell me throughout the pregnancy but as I was convinced to have the natural experience you speak of turned a blind eye to the cosmic help that came my way , I stuck with my midwife over a doctor and ended up with an emergency cesearian after a cord prolapse and revival my baby is quadriplegic and living a very difficult existence a sad reminder of what could have been every day. I am pleased you embraced your situation an try to work through what it is that happened and what you wished for , let me say o have learnt to fast track now and focus all my energy on what is real and present , and accepting the help I have been given by others graciously. Your baby is well with you now and you are blessed.

Difference is, my midwife was able to negotiate a really good caesar so my baby was never separated from me and I got immediate skin to skin and the breast crawl in recovery. My partner and my midwife stayed with me through the caesar and I got to take the placenta home. Still sad, but these things made all the difference.Cherrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-8992503136944707472011-01-16T23:37:32.629-05:002011-01-16T23:37:32.629-05:00What an amazingly profound story.
