Congrats, but i think its bull what they did with the epidural, thats way late, and for it not to kick in the way it did, my second baby it did that, but see i had my epidural early, so they were able to take it out and fix it so i couldnt feel nothing, and also with all three of my births my dr was there when they said i at ten, so he was the one who told me to start pushing, and ill be back there any day now with baby number 4. most wonderful experience

We are very lucky women :) my first was 3 hr labour, gas only and my second was 1 hr 20 mins, no drugs. Our bodies know what to do!

oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh

Your labor and delivery story is really funny! My favourite part: STOP PUSHING!!!! XD

[xxReshDollxx]

congrats :)

You didn't have informed consent. The medication you got in your IV is a narcotic called Nubain. It does have health risks to both you and the baby. Yes a childbirth education class would have been a good idea. A doula might have been a great idea. When your water broke, you went straight into active labor. You "missed" early labor because it happened so gradually. You probably will every time. Makes for fast labors. Glad everything turned out good. Congrats on your boy!

Congrats!

[candykisses856]

HAHA! I had that medication, too. I felt just like you described, very drunk and I looked over at Andy and I said, "This is goooooood!" and then I fell backwards into the pillows and kept mumbling incoherently. You had such a fast labor!! It sounds like it all went smoothly, though :) Good to hear!

[pinksmoke25123]

Wow that is super fast for a first labor. when you have other kids you will have to leave at the 1st sign of anything. I'm really nervous about tearing too.

[pregnantinparadise]

WOW That was a really fast labor! It's so funny to hear what you were thinking while in labor. I love it! Congratulations. You look wonderful!

[meredegaby]

Wow! Hun sounds just like the birth of my daughter I had inboxed you about! That is awesome to hear 6cm! You KNOW you are just about there!! Sounds like a great labor!! Well done mama! Congratulations! xoxo

PS: Screw the doctor There is NO stopping the pushing!! lol

[sarahHeartbreak]

Congratulations!!!

[Janelle902]

I wonder if it still hurt so much because the epidural didn't have enough time to fully kick in?! I can't believe how fast you went. I plan on having my water break and having plenty of time to get ready to go to the hospital too...I didn't think it could happen that fast for first timers! You look absolutely gorgeous!!!

[cathysagal3]

yes!!! That is exactly what the nurse told my husband!

[edaj84]

@Janelle902 If I had waited for my waters to break before i left for the hospital I would not have even made it to the car. My waters broke and i then immediately started pushing my son out.

[glemmestad]

Thanks for sharing your story. You look so beautiful after just delivery your baby :) ) hope that my labor goes as fast as yours! Glad to hear everything went well for you and your son :) Looking forward to your mommy updates. Take good care xoxo

[MrsTenaciousC]

Congrats honey! I'm soooo happy for you that everything went so well!! How are you feeling now? You look amazing! Do you believe after all that bedrest because my son was trying to come early, that now the lil stinker wont come out!? LOL I'm being induced on Friday if he isn't here yet so 5 more days!! Very excited but bummed about the induction. As long as he's happy and healthy though I'll be counting my blessings! Congrats again your son is sooo incredibly adorable! *HUGS*

[cathysagal3]

Oh your kidding me!?! Can't wait to hear how it goes.

[NikkiDarling85]

You have the most entertaining labor and delivery story I've ever heard!! Sounds like you had a great experience overall. Congrats again on your beautiful baby boy!!

Isn't that so strange how the doctors only need to be there to catch the baby when it comes out?! Lol
