Heather A.’s Birth Story

Heather A. and Summer

Born Dec 17 weighing 7lbs 21 inches long.  Head was sideways, pushed till I was blue in the face for 1 1/2 hours after midwife suggested I might do better with an epidural.  After 10 + hours in labor?  No way, I was not going to quit!

And thus we pushed on, my husband holding my legs for leverage, an assistant using tug-o-war with my exercise strap and the midwife helping babies head through my cervix and under my pubic bone.  The hardest workout of my life!!

And I’m a screamer!  The midwife said i sounded very “Victorian”, my husband was worried the neighbors would think someone was getting murdered.  It’s the only way I could drum up the energy to push!  

Here are some photos for you to show the girls in class.  The first one was taken right after she popped out.  :)

We’ll be coming to yoga as soon as she gets a little older!

Thanks for the encouragement and support!!

Xoxo,

Heather and Summer
