That said, I found what you had to say fascinating, and would love to hear more!<BR/><BR/>Re: birth, if you do decide to have another, I'd love to host a blessingway for you! And if Bryn is another year or more older, I'd be happy to put my hand up for doulaing too!No onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05516581267618212776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21535770.post-1152447487470117232006-07-09T22:18:00.000+10:002006-07-09T22:18:00.000+10:00OMG I can't believe the treatment that you and Lau...OMG I can't believe the treatment that you and Laurent received well actually I can and that is what sucks the most. :'( Your story saddens me alot and makes me so angry at the same time. The best piece of advice I can give you is to go and talk with a independant midwife you will be able to ask all of those questions on your mind and work through the fears that you have and be able to make a decision after getting those fears out in the open to someone who understands and can offer medical knowledged feedback. i know a couple wonderful midwifes near you! Happy to talk more about how I worked through my fears with homebirthing but don't want to crowd your comments section;) HUGS<BR/><BR/>btw I think using some positive dog training tools for our children is a wonderful concept especially in the face of some other parenting choices out there i don't think it is weird at all. Although we had a command word for our dog 'BAH" and I could imagine it would be frowned apon should we try to use that for our children ;)Ishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04663804674168323479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21535770.post-1152409268402688282006-07-09T11:41:00.000+10:002006-07-09T11:41:00.000+10:00oh you and I sound like we are in the same odd hea...oh you and I sound like we are in the same odd headspace with regards to some things.... 6 months ago I'd have NEVER contemplated this, but now I can't get it out of my head! Hope we both settle on the right thing when we need to!katefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13498070846839816977noreply@blogger.com
