~My hard-earned VBA3C with fused sacrum and softball sized fibroid~

I'm sharing my story with as many women as I can.  I truely had physical issues that 99.9% of OBs would have insisted on c/section for.  Having a supportive provider makes all the difference in the world.  I know what this birth meant to me and I just want to help others on their journeys!  It's really long, so I'm going to post the link.

That has to be one of the best birth stories I have ever read, Abbey.  I'm in tears.  Congratulations

 “I just had a baby. Out of my VAGINA!!!!” 

That was literally LOL.

Congrats and thanks for sharing!

Oh my.... I read your birth story about 5 times now and it made all misty-eyed every time .

You must be SO proud of yourself ! And it shows again , that doctors really (just like every other human being) simply can NEVER say for sure , what will happen !

Congratulations

Ummm....no, I didn't see that until now.  Great.  Tears again -- lol.  It's so moving.     (Of course, it doesn't help that I'm 9 months pregnant with #4 right now.  I'm a blubbering mess.)

I love those pictures of when you're pushing out Ava and your other daughters are in the background with hand over mouth in anticipation, amazement, surprise, wonder -- their emotion was caught beautifully.
