Wow.  What an adorable picture of the girls snuggling, too.

I posted my thoughts on this on 12-24 too but...don't you find it odd that she is so unconcerned about a cord prolapse at home?  She has no worries about pushing even though it could kill her baby?  No concern when the baby is born not breathing?  Instead she just talks about how wonderful it is to be giving birth.  I think these are the kinds of stories that create the impression that VBAC mothers care more about the experience than the baby.  Sorry if that is harsh but she is very very lucky that baby lived and doesn't even seem to realize it.

Some parts of the story definitely seemed a little strange to me.  Like the fact that they wanted no U/S at all, but were convinced to have one.  Or that even after the bloody show, she's still trying to prevent her contractions.  It seems like there was a lot of denying reality going on.

I agree with this.  While it is a great story and I am glad everything turned out perfectly, there are SO many things that could have gone wrong here and I can't believe she was as calm as she claims.  And yes- she was definitely in real labor.  I missed how far she was from a hospital, but it sounded like they had a hike to get there.

But adorable twins!

Her story's posted on ICAN's blog, too. I'd imagine they vet them somewhat?

It's certainly a doozy of a birth story. That picture of the twins just kills me - so freaking sweet.

It is an amazing birth story, but I thought the exact.same.thing.
