I am happy I have a healthy baby boy who just turned 2.
I did not like my labor or the manner of his birth. Drugs stink. Having medically enhanced contractions suck. My water broke on its own but that is about all my body did during labor. I tried to be on as little pain medications as possible and tried to move as much as I could. Had horrible back pain before any pain medications. Ended up on PIT, only getting to 5cm, having 2 epidurals, and having a c section. Also had a groggy baby who took forever to get the hang of nursing. Battled slow weight gain and a short time of supplementing with formula.
I told him of all the struggles I went through because of having medical interventions.
We agreed to, as long as my doctor says okay, have a more natural labor if we have another baby.
I will be getting a doula for birth.
Breast feeding should be easier having the practice.
If I still end up having to have a c section, it will be okay.
But I am going to try my hardest to get the labor I want.
