I liked all of these little stories over time, each leading to the next.

or more likely be expelled from the room myself whilst being told to ‘think on my actions’.
And that made me smile, and reflect for a moment how much we often wish, during birth, that we could just get up and leave and someone else would have that baby! But it doesn't work that way...

This worked so well -- writing each of the segments, and then tying them together at the very end. Very well done!

This was beautifully done. I got involved with the characters and that means it's very well told.

A wonderful depiction of these there generations and how you came to be. So wonderful that you have that relationship with your mom! My mom was there in the delivery room when I had my little boy (aged 39 at the time). She was impressed by my stamina and determination and called me "a lioness."

Thank you so much, she was never who I would have chosen but im glad it ended up as her :)
