What a shame you couldn't give birth in the birth centre as planned.
I was rooting for you when I read your story.

How was it with the other children? The fact that your daughter's birthday is on the same day as yours made your regularity less important, I can see that. Poor you ;)
Birth stories are special, I think. I've read a lot of them because I was very intensively involved with the subject for a while.
The best story I ever read was of a birthing woman who asked the midwife if she could help her have an orgasm, as it would make it easier for her to go through the labour. HaHa! And more stories like that, I think the portal was called "orgasmic birth".

I wonder if the deadline thing isn't a bit exaggerated and there's really no way of knowing the exact date of birth. It depends on what the woman tells her gynaecologist, when she had her last period. What if she is off by a few days? Then the whole plan is wrong.
