I have finally given birth as if 3:21pm 08/24/2017. From start to finish it was a total of about 8hrs. Not sure how long actual active labor was. I had to get 2 epidurals as the first one didn't work AT ALL. Was given a catheter without being numb. Pushed for what seemed like forever! No tearing or lacerations. He was my biggest baby as far as weight. Weighing in at 8.5lbs. 20 1/4 in long. He has an anterior tongue tie as well as a lip tie making nursing a little painful. We had the best l&d nurse ever!!!! She got me through the worst experience ever and I couldn't thank her enough.
