I HAD A FAIRLY EASY BIRTH MY WATER BROKE JUST AS WE WERE GETTING READY TO GO THE HOSPITAL AROUND 10PM SO I THINK THAT HELP SPEED THINGS UP. MY LABOR WENT AS CLOSE TO PLAN AS I COULD HOPE, I PASSED ON THE EPIDURAL JUST GOT ONE SHOT OF NUBAIN (PAIN MED THAT GOES IN THE IV) NUBAIN WAS REALLY MILD BUT HELPED ME RELAX A LITTLE IN BETWEEN CONTRACTIONS BEFORE DELIVERY.
THEY SAY SOME FIRST TIME MOMS WILL HAVE TO PUSH FOR A FEW HOURS BUT NOT ME I THINK IT WAS ONLY ABOUT AN HOUR, THOUGH IT FELT MUCH SHORTER THEN THAT. THERE WAS ONE SMALL HANG UP WHEN BABY WAS READY TO COME OUT THE DOCTOR WASN'T IN THE ROOM YET AND I HAD TO STOP PUSHING...STOP PUSHING!!!! THAT WAS REALLY REALLY HARD AND THAT'S WHEN TIME SEEMED TO SLOW DOWN TO A CRAWL.
AFTER HE CAME OUT THE DOCTOR PLACED HIM ON MY TUMMY AND THE THE JOY YOU FEEL AFTER LOOKING INTO THOSE LITTLE EYES FOR THE FIRST TIME IS JUST UNEXPLAINABLE, HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!
love love love you two
