I was in labor a total of 12 hours after my water breaking and 7 of those I made it without the epidural until my ob kicked up my pitocin 4 times in two hours making my contractions relentless and right on top of each other ( i know making excuses) and I didn't feel any less of a mom or woman but then one of my friends recently had her baby and did it completely natural and now I just kind of feel like she's basically better than me pretty much like I'm not strong enough to be a mom. Just feeling down on myself😔
