Should children be at the birth of a sibling?

Oh well, I guess I might have felt the same after that length of time.
I was lucky my labour was relatively short.....about 8 hours.....but I still wouldn't do it again. Well, i'm too old now anyway.

MY second was 8 hours 8 mins.......which was sheer heaven compared to his older brother 32 hours of hard labour.

Dunno how I managed to pluck up the courage to have another baby after that lol.

BUT!!! if her bits were put on show right now with 3 other womens I couldn't tell you which was which.

Watching a birth is magical...........and even though I would have preferred to be doing it myself than watching my sister in so much pain, it is the most moving thing I have seen.


I CRIED BUCKETS!!!!!
