Jackson arrived 5/8! Here is his birth story is long, sorry!
Monday May 7th- I dropped Ethan off at preschool then headed off to the midwife for my 40 week appointment. While at the office I had my membranes stripped, this was around 10:30am, I was 3cm, 40% effaced. On the drive home I was noticed I was having contractions probably around 10 minutes apart, while they weren?t too intense I definitely noticed them. When we got home Lance had speech therapy and I was able to sit on the couch and watch the session and time a few contractions. They were still between 8-10 minutes apart, though since I had just had the membrane sweep I didn?t know if they were real contractions or just caused by the irritation.
Re: Jackson is here! Water birth story inside :0)
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
