Thoughtful Thursday! “She Sounds Great!”
“She sounds great!” – Midwife, commenting on mother’s moaning and vocalization while in labor.
Hey, it’s one of mine! My midwife and her apprentice arrived at our home 20 minutes into the second stage of labor. I had been doing so well on my own (with my husband for support) that I asked them to wait in the hallway until I called for them. This was one of the comments that my midwife said in a stage whisper to her apprentice. It made me feel so good to overhear her positive words! Between contractions she would say things like, “That was perfect” and “she’s a natural”. It was so reassuring, because I was making some serious, loud, deep, and low groaning and moaning noises! I felt great.

How absolutely empowering! Well done, everybody in this story!

This is actually mine, but I also overheard my midwives commenting on how great I was doing! And my husband completely forgot how nervous he was about me being too loud in our apartment building. Haha.

Sorry, Eliza – MOBSW told me they’d be posting one of mine today, and my midwife said this same thing. Didn’t mean to step on your toes. I will try to see if I can take back my previous comment!

You know, they probably end up having to lump a lot of comments together. Just like health professionals say a lot of the same dumb things, I’ll bet they also say a lot of the same smart things! I’m glad you also got complimented on your labor style!
