I mean like, I didn't get scared like I thought I would. I was just focused on having that baby. I thought I'd be a nervous wreck but I wasnt.

All my pain medicines failed and I was in labor for 28 hours. All I could concentrate on was the pain

All you really think about is getting that baby out as healthy as possible

Yeah. I had the epidural at 6 cm. They took me back for surgery at 9 and the epidural was wearing off. They gave me 3 doses of additional anesthetic to numb the area, but i could still feel them pinching me so last resort was to fully put me to sleep. I woke up high as a kite when I first got to see my daughter. They let me hold her right off though which was surprising because I was so doped up. She's almost 6 months old now.

Wow, they put you to sleep fully? I know that had to bw rough. Our stories are similar. Due to complications i was induced and dilated to 9 centimeters. My baby would not drop, and went into fetal distress so I also had an emergency c section. It's been 3 weeks.

It did. You'd think laying in a bed for hours would drag by but she was here before I knew it.

It's so true!! That and time flew by. I was in labor for 15 hours and pushed for 3. And time went by soooooo fast.

I would only dilate to 9 so after 11.5 hours of active labor, I ended up having a c section and having to be put completely to sleep because i wouldn't numb so me and my boyfriend basically missed the birth. The recovery from that was horrible but when I was laying in bed, in labor, the pain was not even on my mind

I found that the pain wasn't as bad as everyone told me. I can't remember the pain completely, but I know it hurt.
