proud of her

I need to devote a little post entirely to my dear friend, Milena.
I am so impressed with her - she was phenomenal throughout her labour. Phenomenal. She was so focused and determined yet she was able to smile between her contractions and even laugh throughout her labour. She was calm and relaxed and never lost her temper. She was very specific when she needed anything and requests were always followed up with "please" and "thank you". She was positive throughout the experience and never complained about anything. She was incredible! She took direction well and remained as mobile as she could. She would change positions instantly if I encouraged her too and stayed upright as much as she could. She took each contraction one at a time and never lost focus.

I could not be more proud of her.

Ashley, it's so great that you have such a close relationship to your friends that you can be there for them in their labouring journey. Milena's journey sounds a lot like mine with Kai and boy was it tough. Hours and hours of labour (although i did get to 10cm and push) but to have it end in a C-section was tough. It was a grieving of sorts. Anyway, would've been great to have someone like you there as we had no idea what we were doing! Great stuff.
