You are an absolute wonder, @grindan. You impress me continually. Your forgiveness of "Ally" is a jaw-dropper right there. I loved hearing your birth story, and how you advocated for yourself and that you have become a woman who knows how to connect with, support, and be supported by other women. Love love love!!!
I could trade birth stories with you. This resonated so much with me. I had a doula for both of my deliveries. She really really tried to help me have the birth I wanted both times. (Long story both times.) What an amazing and important line of work!
Hey Jayna!! 🤗 Gosh, thank you so much for this kind and beautiful comment! I'm so grateful that this resonated with you, I think sharing these things between women is straight up medicinal.
I'd be over the moon to trade birth stories with you sometime! I could talk about birth all day tbh 😂💗
It's super cool that you also had a doula, I feel as if it is line of work that is not known widely enough- especially in the Midwest. I suggest to every first-time mom I know to check out doula services. I had no idea such wonderous women existed for my first two births!
Ahhh now I'm resisting asking 100 birth related questions 🤣
Hope you're having an awesome week 💚
It really is a great topic of conversation!
