A...I agree with Debra, no way Kent was 21 then!! <br /><br />And seriously, they punch you in the belly? Noone has EVER done that to me, not even in the hospital. I'm pretty sure I'd punch back. I like the idea of sharing the births, though I'm afraid I'd err on the TMI-side. So did you have all of the kids without medication? I can't help but wonder what it feels like for other women during labor, because we all have different experiences and our bodies and minds process things differently. Your report of <i>Within a few minutes I had transitioned and Kent was helping me through all the relaxation and breathing exercises we had learned. They worked really well! I basically knew what to expect and I felt like the pain was manageable.</i> boggles my mind. Maybe if my babies were smaller.... ;o)mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281399488401861671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317146076532815711.post-31107617614883128622009-07-11T00:00:35.864-06:002009-07-11T00:00:35.864-06:00Debra, that news story is disturbing.

The longer I stare at Kent in that picture, the younger he looks. Maybe it's just a bad angle that makes his eyes look bigger, which thus makes him look more like a child. Freaky! I swear he was 21!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583286432601536145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317146076532815711.post-10239210552564373492009-07-10T18:59:04.290-06:002009-07-10T18:59:04.290-06:00That news story is just scary!!

Of course, I tend to leave a little placenta behind, so it is necessary. The closer my kids get to the age I was when they were born, the more freaked out it makes me.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349403417525132723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317146076532815711.post-24752763402543190762009-07-10T18:48:41.088-06:002009-07-10T18:48:41.088-06:00I can't figure out why I like reading people&#...I can't figure out why I like reading people's birth stories. Probably because they remind me of my own. This photo is a little disconcerting, however. Kent reminded me of this fellow: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2233878.ece<br /><br />I'm sure he looked at least 17 in person. <br />: )Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13735013592389681469noreply@blogger.com
