Our unassisted home birth ... Babe nr 4
Just when you think you want to give up like you just can't anymore, then there is light.
I prayed and prayed and prayed and He heard me. He made me wait 40 weeks but He made sure it was perfect.
During the night before I couldn't sleep at all, I was so restless and uncomfortable. Just my luck we had all three the other kids in bed that night. And on my ten millionth trip to the toilet I returned to every one rolled over and no space for me. I ended up on the single bed by Carmin's feet 😄
I was overjoyed when the sun came up and I could just focus on something else besides trying to sleep.
We had a false alarm the week before so I didn't want to say anything to any one. I just casually mentioned to my mom that my back hurts allot and maybe we should just get things ready.
Being blessed Heine was home as it was Freedom day. He spent the morning with the kids and every one was calm.
At about 11:00 I started getting some real contractions, to work through them I kneeled next to the bed. My mom sat with me and Cara-Mia was in and out of the room.
I spent the whole time on my knees and by 13:00 I was super tired. I told my mom I am going to take a nap. In that time Heine thought he could quickly go to the shop. A huge contraction woke me at about 13:10, my mom joked and said come lets have this baby now. As I got up my water broke, next contraction the head came out.
In that brief moment when you think you are dying your body scrapes together just a little more energy ...
Next contraction baby was out. Born into grandmas arms. Luckily my little midwife Cara-Mia was there to just hand us the towels.
I tried phoning Heine while my mom was handing Cohen to me. He arrived 5 mins later.
Heine cut the cord and when I had energy again I birthed the placenta.
Everything was so perfect
His brothers and sisters are all so inlove with him, Ciane just wants to breast feed him lol
We are truly blessed with the four most amazing children
