A Friday unlike any other

I love Romiromi and at times I can be apprehensive about what's in store when I'm having work done, though on this particular occasion I was pleasantly surprised.  As soon as the mahi started I could feel a tugging sensation in my uterus and I thought okay this is different.  I found as the treatment got further in, that I was starting to remember things from the Waananga that I had attended.  There was something pulsating in my uterus and it was as if, it knew that it had to be done.  Jacq told me that it was like a chain that she saw and then I felt like I was birthing.  Until finally there was a release and my heart felt melted, almost like I had fallen in love again.  The feeling was overwhelmingly good, much like the sensation of giving birth and finally holding your baby.  On our drive home, Jacq mentioned that it was like I was giving birth.  I then said it felt like the placenta was coming away from the walls of my uterus and that maybe the chain she was holding was the cord associated with the placenta.  Delivery of the placenta is the third stage of labor, which can take place some minutes after the birth.  Why was this stage so evident in my treatment on Friday?  Is this the part of me letting go fully of the babies that I have lost through miscarriage?  Could this also be the stage of me ending my inability to carry to full term?  Time can only tell.
