You are an absolute wonder, @grindan. You impress me continually. Your forgiveness of "Ally" is a jaw-dropper right there. I loved hearing your birth story, and how you advocated for yourself and that you have become a woman who knows how to connect with, support, and be supported by other women. Love love love!!!

I could trade birth stories with you. This resonated so much with me. I had a doula for both of my deliveries. She really really tried to help me have the birth I wanted both times. (Long story both times.) What an amazing and important line of work!
