Maybe I was just lucky but I had the best pregnancy and I loved giving birth. It was just the most amazing thing so surreal but so real.

Giving birth was the most amazing thing I've ever done. I'd been living in a Third World country and I said 'I'm going to just squat behind a tree.' I basically did that but in a chair in my living room. I didn't want a sterile hospital room. I didn't want doctors. I had a midwife.
