I think if you can do it that's great, but I also fear major complications. My cousin is a mid wife, and she accompanied me to the hospital for both my daughter and my son (who had the stroke) births. She knew my birth plans, and knew what I wanted and didn't want. In both births I never was cut, never pushed into anything I didn't want, etc. Jude however after already suffering a stroke in utero then suffered shoulder distosia. I also worry because one of the most previlant times for a baby to stroke out is during child birth (see Ellens story about Max), and if you aren't in a hospital setting when a baby seizes I worry. Most parents don't even know the baby has had a stroke until the seizures start. Also, my cousin who had 1 baby at home, and then tried with the next wound up in an ambulance rushing her to the hospital for possible placenta abruption. So I commend you for an amazing story, but I would caution others to carefully way all their options. Have good medical attention on hand. Sounds like your midwife was wonderful. Beautiful baby too!Jennifer Ortizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350225247489608653noreply@blogger.com
