Our 2-year-old daughter, asleep in room next door stirred a few times, settling herself. I have no idea how she managed to sleep through my primal roaring and groaning!
Our back up midwife arrived about 20 minutes before the actual birth. My contractions started to shake my entire body. Not once did my midwife mention ‘push’, nor did the word enter my mind. My body just convulsed involuntarily with the last few contractions to ‘breathe’ out our beautiful baby Reuben Beau at 6:30am.
Our daughter woke at 6:40am. Perfect.
