While laboring with one of my clients on Saturday, I was reminded of how little control we have over our labor. She sailed thru to 9cm and got held up there for awhile. It was intense but she was strong and powerful as she coped with her contractions! It was so rewarding to see the little face of her newborn... It seemed everyone in the room was working toward one common goal to support her in this transformation, it was beautiful. Not everyone is so blessed with such support!
