I my self have endured both of these.
Birth can be a joyous event for some and a tragic event for others.
I would like to share some of my stories with you and hope you may share some of yours with me and other visitors. My first child James was a difficult birth which lasted 21 hours and still needed to be vacuum extracted. He was in distress and I was maternally exuasted. He was born healthy, weighing 8lb.3oz. When they are 6 years old you sort of forget how small they really were.
