shout it from the roof tops?!?!

it’s been almost 3 months since i had my daughter and i still just want to scream from the highest roof top that i had a natural child birth. she’s my 6th and i had epidurals with all the others. i wasn’t too proud to admit that i didn’t think i could handle the pain. i got epidurals before i even really went into real active labor. i was terrified of the pain, i just knew i couldn’t do it. i really had no idea what true labor felt like and it scared the shit out of me. even when i went in to be induced with my daughter i told them to get me the epidural ASAP!! so i was so looking forward to getting to a 4 so i could get it. my contractions were more intense than any of my other labors and getting to a 4 seemed to take forever. but once i hit that magical number i asked to have the epidural done. they brought in the anesthesiologist but he never got the chance to give it to me. i went from a 4 to having my daughter in 23 minutes. i’m thankful it happened so fast because it hurt so bad i don’t think i could have handled that kind of pain for hours. but whether it was 23 minutes or 23 hours i was able to have a natural labor and child birth and i’m still so freaking proud of myself i just want to tell everyone lol!!! any way here’s the product of all my hard work 😍😍😍
