Lolli asked to watch water births before she went to bed instead of a cartoon. She spent a good 20 minutes watching 3 different births while she whispered, "Push, push!" and "Stretch, girl, stretch!" to the laboring moms. I guess I won't be needing to hire a doula this time around ;)
Her favorite part is when the moms reach down and feel their baby's hair. I've never done that with either of my births; hopefully she'll remind me this time! I remember Lynda asking me during Poppy's birth but I was working hard to balance in the position I was in and if I had done that I would have face planted ;)
It really makes me smile how interested and unafraid she is. Of course, it may be a whole different ballgame when it's really go time and I'm the one in pain and making noises, but we'll see! She's welcome to be as involved as she wants (or doesn't want).
