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
