LOL! :) I ended up in that exact same position twice during the labor–it was a ”sitting on the floor between contractions,
getting up to lean on ball during them” mid-point, where I would get ”trapped” before making it all the way up
to the ball. It was shockingly immobilizing.

Thanks, Steph! I felt happy looking back through them to make this post. My mom also got some good post-birth
pictures from this birth. I hope you get just what you want photo-wise this time! There is a certain *feel* one can
get from pictures, rather than just a written account.

You have some wonderful pictures. After realizing I had no pictures of labor or birth of my first baby (I had a couple
after she was born but that was about it) I enlisted two sisters to take pictures of everything for my second. I love
having so many pictures to look over and help preserve different moments from the event. For my third I had even
less pictures than with my first which has always made me a little sad. I love the words of birth stories and write
mini novels about each one but love the pictures too and miss them when I don’t have them. I’ve been known to
wish I could take pictures of my labors and deliveries because then I might get the moments I want saved on film.
I’m working on writing a list of shots that I feel to be important (the way my husband and I work together, the tools
or techniques I use, the concentration/work I put into the event are a few items on that list so far). I feel that my
personal birth team needs my husband, my doula (so far filled by my mother), my photographer and my care provider
