I know, weird, right? I was induced via pitocin and didn't get an epidural. It was the hardest, most painful thing I've ever experienced, but for some reason, I daydream about it.
I guess it's because of how empowering it was. Or maybe because it was the day I met my baby. Or because I saw my husband in a whole new light- as a father.
Anyone else know what I mean?
Re: Daydreaming about birth
Yes! I love reminiscing with DH! He brags about me to people and it feels so good! I was telling him yesterday that I feel like I can do anything after experiencing childbirth! I'm also obsessed with hearing other people's birth stories!
Coffeecream - my midwives gave me the option of doing an alternate test where I didn't eat for 3 hours before (went in at noon, just before lunch) and just gave blood - no drinking the gross drink or waiting at all. My MW said since I wasn't considered at risk for GD I didn't have to do it. Maybe this is something you can do?
This is my exact thoughts and feelings.
I enjoyed the birth of my little miss so much. I really pray I will be able to experience another.
I had the same birth experience as you! I think about it so frequently and remember it so vividly. DH always teases me about this one deep growl I let out, re-enacting it for me. It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced and I wouldn't have done it any other way.
