Quite a war story! I wasn’t really all that concerned about pushing… but my body just didn’t want to cooperate. That’s just how it goes, sometimes. I’ve come to accept it… but it still bothers me once in a while that I didn’t get the “full” birthing experience.

Well she heard me… I too was induced, progressed slowly, got the epidural, things went a little faster then came to a crashing halt when it was deemed my son didn’t “like” labor and his heart rate slowed down big time. So between my history (i had a late term loss prior) and the current situation emergency C-section here I come! 24 hours after I started my labor journey I was a mom.

I progressed very slowly…and got stuck at 6 cm. After hours of my body fighting it, I asked for an epidural. Turns out I think my own fear was keeping me from progressing. Right after the epi and a little nap (Heaven!) she was born.

Ooof. That’s a whole load of stuff going on there, Christy! It was certainly hard to change plans midstream and have a c-section, but in the end, I got a beautiful boy and went on to have another one. So I think it all turned out okay 🙂

I remember the day I found out my youngest was breech, I immediately knew that it usually meant that you had to have a c-section. I remember crying my eye balls out because that wasn’t in my plan. I wanted it natural and I was planning on laboring in the water. I went ahead with the c-section because it was the best decision based on the circumstances. I had an anterior placenta (where the placenta is on the top side of my belly) and it made it too risky to try an inversion.

Each pregnancy is absolutely different! And I was completely (and I mean COMPLETELY) freaked out about having the second one after the first C-section because it was such an awful experience. After being in labor for so long, they had difficulty getting my body to stop the contractions during the C-section and to sew me up. It was a long procedure!

After the second C-section, I understood that while it’s still surgery, it really doesn’t have to knock your body for a loop.
