What a great birth story, and so inspirational to me! I had a c-section with my daughter, after planning a natural birth, because she was breech. At the time, I thought I had no option but now, I know that with an experienced midwife, or maybe just not knowing any better, I could've avoided the c-section. I love that you felt it was all part of a great plan, and just accepted it. (I know you posted this a long time ago but I followed you over here from the discussion on the homebirths thread about positive home birth stories.)
