I placed the placenta in a bowl and handed the bowl and baby to Scott. By this time it was about 11am. I lay on the couch nursing my newborn baby for the first time. After a few hours we cut the umbilical cord. I learned so much about my body and soul.
Birth is so empowering and special.
I wish all women to experience that greatness. I wish it had been like this when I had given birth to Charlotte. I would never hand my body over to someone else again. Women can be in control of themselves. I felt the greatest control of all during birth.
