Don't stand unmoving outside the door of a crying baby whose only desire is to touch you. Go to your baby. Go to your baby a million times. Demonstrate that people can be trusted, that the environment can be trusted, and that we live in a benign universe.
I notice no one is reading my birth story (except Chels-- thank you!!). I assume that's because it's so **** long!! Yeah, I'm too lazy to shorten it.

I am going to come back and finish reading your birth story in a little while. I just wanted to say so far that your birth story has a lot in common with mine. Matthew was also born on his due date (8-17), my water partially broke at 4:25 in the morning, and he was also born naturally at a birth center. (I am not sure if your baby was born in the water or not as I haven't gotten that far but Matthew was). I also just wanted to add that your LO is a cutie!
"like my vagina was dry-heaving" PERFECT explanation! I could figure out how to describe it and that hit the nail on the head!
Man 10hrs of Josh AND a labor...thats like a perfect doula job for me
Your story was wonderful, so detailed, I felt I was right there with you. Congrats for having a natural back labor/pit birth. Its just such an amazing feeling isn't it?!
