around midnight i began to question my decision to have a
home birth, & maria was getting tired... she called in a second midwife for support & my
doula arrived from another
birth... i was afraid of the power - i hadn't felt it like this in kayenn's
birth... i was afraid that i would come apart - even though i had to - i know now that coming apart is a part of the process... someplace in the middle of this
birth i realized that i did not know how to do this - i was acting against the
birth process - literally & emotionally... i had a mental idea of what it should look, sound, smell, be like... after some hours maria checked me again, i had been
at 9 cm for 4 hours... she said to me, «some babies can come through
at 9 cm, but yours will not, sokhna... sokhna, you are going to have to fight to bring this baby out... go into the bathroom, get in the shower & work it out... «so i did... i went in the cold bathroom alone & remembered every cold detail of kayenn's
birth... i wondered if i could get to the hospital on time to have an emergency c - section & i began to cry... & as i cried i had to go to the bathroom - i sat on the toilet & the rushes came down like nothing i can explain - but they didn't hurt - it was just POWER!
