Even though my labor was miserable I just keep replaying it over and over. By far the most amazing…

Just curious mama how did your labor go?! I'm a first time mom due any day now and I'm terrified. Is it really that painful, did you choose to have an epidural?! Also what I'm really worried about is that I won't know when I'm actually in labor. I'm just so nervous!

You will know! Trust me I thought the same thing but your body lets you know! My labor probably isn't the best example to make you feel better though lol, I was in labor for 43 hours, 28 without any pain meds, after 28 hours I wasn't progressing enough so we had to start pitocin, and that makes contractions 10x more intense so I did get the epi, getting that doesn't hurt at all though it just feels funny, then my epi wore off so they tried to re-up it but it wasn't working so they had to give me something through the iv. But, when it was time to push I only pushed for 30 mins and she was out and pushing wasn't bad at all! Plus, when they take the placenta out it give you SO much relief lol. While I was going through it I thought it was miserable and I wasn't going to be able to do it honestly, but like everyone tells you, AS SOON as you see your baby, none of it matters and you barley even remember the pain I swear. I'd do it 100x over as long as I get my little girl. You'll be okay, having a good support person I really important also @azmommy2016

wow 43 hours that's intense, thank you for sharing that with me and congrats again on your beautiful baby girl! 😌 @kparis
