I think that something I always do is talk about what I usually do at births and what parents want/don't want. I am very clear to my clients that if they need anything - all they have to do is ask. Otherwise, I'm going to be there to assist them, but my philosophy is not to attempt to direct, manage or be in a woman's birth space too much. My clients know this from the time they interview me all through their birth. We talk about it endlessly in our one-hour prenatal appts. It's no surprise. I've also stepped in when I see that a partner or a client is very overwhelmed or scared. I am careful, though, to not do something that will keep her out of her body - usually it's a hand in her hand or some soft words and a presence close by until I feel she's more grounded again. I think that my philosophy of birth or who I am as a midwife does not fit in with all people - which is why I'm grateful there are more hands-on midwives out there for those that want such a midwife. I'm glad you responded to my blog...I have enjoyed reading your blog immensely! just wanted to say I’m sorry you felt unsupported by your midwives.

Nathan will dig the planes, too. HellBoy is always searching the sky these days for airplanes or helicopters, and usually finds some. He wants to see an orange airplane, though, and I don't think they make those. Space is good. Nathan will dig the planes, too.
