Ok. So. I had my baby, and it was amazing. Labour was intense and I did that for 36 hours, and then I decided that was that and called for the drugs. HOLLA!!! Thank goodness I did because I was able to enjoy the birth of my baby girl rather than try to fight through a pain I wasn' t actually able to fight through.
Granted, if it was back in the day, I would probably have been taught how to breathe through and just suck it up, but since I didn't practice the breathing and everything, I failed....I caved and asked for the epidural. BEST decision I ever made. And since I was led to believe that the epidural was the devil's gift, I am here to set you straight on child birth and child rearing.
I never wanting kids but love the one I have. Childbirth was awesome- I loved giving birth to my baby girl, but the contractions were awful and I won't have any woman believe anything else. Contractions are harsh, labour is harsh...the first 2 weeks of life are harsh for a newborn and a new mom/dad. Anyhoo, all I want to post is, the 1st two weeks suck beyond belief, and the rest is managebable...managbale...manageable...:) (The fatigue is something else!)
