I birthed a beautiful 8lb 12 oz baby girl at 41 weeks and 2 days
I birthed a beautiful 8lb 12 oz baby girl at 41 weeks and 2 days. I had almost exactly the birth that I wanted. With help from my doula, mom, mother in law, husband, and Doctor I had an all natural labor. My labor was 19 hours but with all the different positions I did and the support team, it didn't feel that long. When I made it to 10cm and my body started pushing, I was so relieved. I pushed for about two hours because baby was still a touch too high and between my bladder being full constantly and having a lip in the way, my baby just was not coming down anymore. Finally, after being completely drained I know I needed something to change to get my baby out. My doctor approached me and asked me if I wanted an epidural. I said heck yes. After sleeping for about two hours I woke up, and for my sweet daughter out in 12 pushes. It was great!
