comments on labor story

If one more person tells me how lucky I am that my labor was "so easy", I'm going to make them push a watermelon out without so much as a tylenol.  I don't expect a badge or anything for going natural, but I never expected people to tell me I had it EASY.  Sure it only lasted about 6.5 hours, but quicker labor is one of the benefits of not getting the epi.  I think any woman who's been through childbirth deserves some respect.  OK, I feel better.  Thanks for letting me get that out there!

Mine was super quick too - I was still at work at 1:30 and she was born at 7:56.  I get the same line from people.  The thing is I dilated so quickly that it was ridiculously painful!  The doctor even said it probably would have been better if I went a little slower.

I'm still jealous..... I went 45 hours and had to have a c/s to get her out. She crawled up so far and turned slightly sideways she didn't want to come out.

I'm jealous too. 17 hours was too long for me.?

So I guess I did have it easy, huh?

21 hours of med free was long enough for me.
