FFFC- Come One and All
I think my FFFC this is week is that I am proud that I went drug free...actually I'm probably overly proud and deep down I feel like I had a better, deeper, and more connected birth experience than women who had drugs.
Ooo, I'm soooo glad this is FFFC because I think I'd get some heat for that one
Oh, and most of the time I would rather be with DS than DH (I feel bad about this one though!) 
So c'mon ladies. Don't make me look like the only bad one out there. Time to dish your deepest and darkest.

Re: FFFC- Come One and All
I'll play. Your's makes me think of one of mine that I'm sure I'd get a lot of flames for. It's not meant to cut you down, promise, just my opinion.
I think it's stupid to go drug free. My epi wore off right during and after delivery and I can't imagine why anyone would want to experience that if they had the option. Yay modern medicine!!
BTW, rcollier, your LO is adorable!!
Side note: It really wasn't that bad. I think that women that start to feel it like that towards the end of labor haven't been able to build up to it, so they're not mentally or physically prepared for it. And thanks for the compliment
I have a friend like this. She prefers that her DH go to happy hour, spend the night with whoever friend he is with, and come home in the morning. I find it odd, but whatever.
My FFFC: DH got satellite radio for Christmas, and on the days that he doesn't work, I take his car to work. I listen to Playboy Radio (channel 100 if anyone's interested). By the time I get home I am all hot and bothered!

haha, it is ironic, I really get into yoga and the mind, body, experiance and am very intune with my body. I was not allowed to go drug free even if i wanted to because if my body went into shock too much, my Lupus could flare pretty bad. But with that said, sometimes I feel like I was weak for going the drug route, regardless of my illness. At that same time, I did love my birthing experiance and enjoyed not being in pain LOL
My FFFC, I've been at work for 3 hours, and haven't done anything yet.
Maybe so. My LO also has a giant head (was in the 96th percentile at birth) so that might have had something to do with it.
I agree. Please don't say your connection to your child is stronger than anyone else's. You have no idea what anyone else feels.
I thought about going med-free for about 2 seconds. I'm glad I didn't because DS was a BIG baby and I had a lovely 4th degree tear to show for it! But I definitely commend women that do go med free.
Also--our DSs have the same bday!
My 2nd FFFC of the day, I can't stand when women think they are better and more connected to their LO's just because they went natural, cosleep or EBF. Get over it!
Yea. Is my connection extra weak because I ended up with a super drugged up c-section?
Ok. I have 2 more.
1. J will be 6 months old tomorrow. I want to pack most of you in my e-pocket and take you along to the 6-12 board.
2. I think it's silly when people get upset about certain bumpies being immune to criticism, more accepted, etc. It's just like real life. We all a lense we look through that is going to impact the way we respond to someone. For example, Sarah Palin and Barack Obama could say the exact same thing, and depending upon your political leanings, you will respond more favorably to one than the other.
I went drug free all 4 births so heres my FFFC
I don't give a rats patootie if someone takes drugs or doesn't as long as they do what's best for them and their LO to have a safe delivery.

That's kind of flaming me. No fair!
I shouldn't even respond to this because the point of a FFFC is to not get flamed, which is obviously not happening here, but jut for the record I don't feel post delivery I have a deeper connection with LO, just during L&D
I really do belive to each their own, but I'm just proud that I set out to do it and really did it.
haha. What a story that would be.
I never like being looked down on for going the route of modern medicine. I had an epi through my contractions and pushed without it. Looking back I would have done it all the way and why shun something that science has worked so hard to perfect? Just to be in the ellite group of natural moms? eh. Screw that.
I have delivered both with and without drugs. This next delivery will include an epidural.
There is no medal for going med-free. The only one who gives a rats assss is the mom who did it. If you need to go Med free to feel like a superior, more connected parent, have at it.
Ok, rather than flame the OP, I'm adding my FFFC.
I have zero desire to be physical with my DH. I was really into it while preggo and he turned me down several times so I just feel resentment and don't care that he's not getting any. We'll work through it- we did with 1st LO- but right now, I don't care.
it posted before i was able to type. I was in labor for 78 hours. Im talking contractions lasting 2 minutes type of labor. I didn't have drugs until the last 12 hours of labor. I feel plenty connected to my son.
I think that people who think going med-free is about pain or bragging rights are missing the point and making themselves look ignorant. Also, the people who think that med-free people would refuse medically necessary intervention, or that get defensive because they needed interventions.

I will keep you in my thoughts for sure. But I would have to agree. I hate seeing "I went outside today after doing my hair and it was raining- FML" ......are you kidding? Get over yourself. My favorite that I saw this past week was "I found a pack of cigs in my car, but it was empty..FML dude"
