And congrats to your family. I really appreciated reading your article on birthing in T vs US. (I worked in maternal child health advocacy for 7 years here in the states. Was blessed to have both my boys - now nearly men - delivered by midwives with no pain meds. I appreciate your telling the stories of other places! I'm passing the link on to a global community of nurses and midwives! Very belated WELCOME TO OUR CRAZY WORLD Artemis! And congrats to your family.

(geez, seems like I've been typing that a lot this morning - lots to celebrate and that's good!) I refused the epidural, which a lot of people think was crazy. I did have to have a C-section though - his head was way too big. After 40 hours of labor and absolutely no progress, even with a couple of inducements, that was that! He was almost 10 lbs to boot! He also didn't lose weight like they told me to expect. He gained 2 lbs a week for the first month. Yikes! I thought I had a baby version of Clifford, the Big Red Dog! Congrats again! Yay for you!!
