I experienced my first homebirth, and lo and behold, met my daughter Fiona for the first time…
It was 2001 and I was in my final semester of Graduate School. My husband and I had a 10 year old (corn? kind of like a palm?) tree in our apartment that bloomed with a wierd stalk of drippy fragrant flowers the night of the birth, filling the apartment with scent. I’ll never forget it. The birth took about 5 hours and I have it videotaped (the video became a part of my thesis show;o) Here’s a comic that I did back in 2003 to commemorate the birth (note to self, do a comic about that plant!):
homebirth, unassisted birth, attachment parenting,family bed, child-led weaning, breastmilk, continuum concept, evolution revolution, sling, breastfeeding, attachment, homebirth, constant contact, cosleep,family bed, unschool, midwife, newborn, lactivism, progressive parenting, environmentalism, peace, anti-bush,nursing in public
Order this Cartoon as a 8.5 x 11 print on glossy photo paper and signed for only $10!
