So my wife did a water birth 5 months ago. I still sometimes have flashbacks of the amount of blood during the whole process. Blood everywhere. And having a waterbirth at home, guess who cleaned it all up at 4 AM after already being up for nearly 30 hours?

I can still smell the blood. My wife hemorrhaged pretty bad after she was out of the bath and on the bed. Thank goodness for experienced midwives that knew what to do. Anyway, if anyone reading this decides to do a water birth or home birth, I recommend hiring someone else to clean up the blood. It was freaking everywhere.

I scrubbed for hours and was running the washing machine around the clock on "sanitize mode" with 185 degree water trying to get that iron smell out of all the clothes, sheets, towels, blankets, etc.

So the miracle of child birth was kind of a nightmare, but the child that come out is beautiful!!
