[blparent] Remus is here, finally

[Tammy, Paul and Colyn]

Hi,

We are lucky enough to own a digital recorder and we recorded the labour and 
the birth.  Listening back to it was interesting for me, and very different 
then how I remembered it.  But I was out of it on pain meds and gass for 
most of the last stage of labour, which is why my memory is distorted. 
Everything seemed so loud at the time by my account, but when I listened to 
it back it was all fairly quiet.  My doctor was fantastic, and explained 
everything to me even though I didn't understand half of what she was saying 
at the time.  Sometimes I think OBGYN's don't get enough credit for what 
they do.  It's not usually major surgery, but it is life changing and 
sometimes people in labour aren't very nice.  I wonder how many times it 
crosses the minds of OBGYNs to tell people just shut up and do what you're 
toldl.  lol

Tammy
