When my son was 2, I was reading Babies Remember Birth and asked him, "do you remember when you were born?" He said, "Yes." I asked him what it was like and he said: Swimming. Swimming down out of Mama. Crying (Me: was I crying or you crying? Indicated himself) Nursies. Happy now! My water didn't break until I was pushing. I was interested by the "swimming" connection to your son's "no more water" connection. Best wishes, Molly My son shares his birth story I was so interested to read this post and the linked posts.

I That is very interesting. I think I need to get a copy of that book, I have found so little information about this. The water must be so very important to them, it seems to make such a big impression. I mean, a lot happened during my sons birth, but the biggest thing to him was the water breaking, which is not what I would have ever guessed. It just really makes you think before doing anything at all to tamper with their little world during birth. That is very interesting. I That is very interesting.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had heard of that movie, but didn't know it focused on that at all. I'll have to watch it. Thanks for the suggestion. Thanks for the suggestion.

It also mentions that babies and moms need to talk about the birth if it was traumatic in any way to provided healing for both mom and baby. If you haven't already seen it, I highly suggest that you do. http://www.whatbabieswant.com Miranda A good movie There’s a really great movie called “What babies Want” that addresses the fact that babies are sentient beings at birth and focuses on the importance of gentle, peaceful births.
