See, a woman should never have to feel such anguish on such a glorious day as this! I'm so sorry it went badly. I'm sorry your midwife was a cunt. :-( Excited to read the rest of the story. I'm pulling for a happy ending! haha ;-) Oh, my. See, a woman should never have to feel such anguish on such a glorious day as this!

I think that I may have to lye down. I'm continually humbled by what women have to go through. Seriously, you're a goddess. However, that midwife? I think that she may have been Satan's bride.

Shoulda proof read the comment first. All that righteous indignation on your behalf made me sloppy. I meant before the* booking. Shoulda proof read the comment first.

Your midwife makes me so angry for you, what an absolute COW! How dare she treat you like that. Thank goodness Alex is fine. I still think there is something to be said for booking an induction. EVERY single person I know who has had an induction booked, has gone into labour either the day or the night before to booking. Somehow I don't think our bodies like induction. Arghhhh.

I think this is a very important part of a woman telling her birth story. I think we should all be asked about this stuff more often! There are so many things happening in such a short amount of time, and so many people influencing the outcome. Before I gave birth to Jack, I couldn't understand why women would want to birth at home. And now I understand completely. I still don't know if I'd do it, but it's understandable. I went to a very "crunchy" midwife/OB practice and still I ended up with an induction (just a few days after 41 weeks). It's not the induction that I'm unhappy with necessarily, it's the people whom I trusted to get me through the process in the way I wanted it done. The same literature/research I read is available to them, and they clearly have read it, and yet they don't follow it in practice. So disappointing. All that to say I feel your pain!
