I think that listening to the spirit and your heart is one of the most important things you can do in your pregnancy. With Kyler, even though I didn't want to be induced, I felt overwhelmingly that it was the day he was supposed to come and knew it was right. I read an article earlier this month that you might like about c-sections: http://avital.blogspot.com/2011/01/cesarean-courage.html#axzz1dkE8XSjc.

When are you due with your sweet little one?

Thank you so much for writing this. I know how hard it can be to write about this stuff, because I just wrote about Katie's birth for the first time last week (no one has read it yet—not quite ready). I also did not have the birth experience I wanted with Katie (54 hours of labor, after becoming exhausted got an epi and pitocin, never past a 5cm, got a C-section when I had been hoping for a natural birth). It's so hard when people just say “oh, but you got a healthy baby, that's what matters.” Well, yes, that's what is most important, but the mother's experience counts too—I matter too! So I understand where you're coming from. And I LOVE Ina May's book. The sad thing is, despite my strong desire to have a natural birth still and my doctors' willingness to do a VBAC, I've received clear revelation from the Lord to get a C-section again. It's breaking my heart, but the quote you used from Rebecca's story helped me. That is the pain I must accept and bear in bringing my children to earth, and I'm trying to prepare for that.
