I have spent a great deal of time reflecting on L’s birth (and M's birth) the past few weeks. I have such joy and peace around my memories of L’s birth. And I feel so proud and empowered. I know my positive associations are due to Joanne's presence with us. Her calmness and peacefulness and gentleness and assertiveness allowed me to experience birth the way I wanted to. And I healed so much faster (and with less pain) after L’s birth than I did after M’s, even though my tear was much worse with L. I know it’s all connected and I am SO grateful to her for her role. I tell everyone that asks that I couldn’t have done it without her! Thank you, Joanne, for allowing me and giving me what I needed to have the birth I wanted and knew I could have.
