Guess who has an outside baby?! (after 36 hours of labor...)

Me

I'm not sure when I actually went into labor. I started having contractions wednesday night. Slept through most of them. Then Thursday by early afternoon I was pretty sure I was in labor.

So if I count from Wednesday night when the time-able contractions began, I was in labor for 36 hours. :S not fun.

Luckily I wasn't in much pain until about 7-8 cm.

Somehow I made it through without an epi, and it was awesome. I'll post my birth story here soon for any mom's considering a med-free birth. I learned a lot and I'd really like to share some things that I think were crucial to my ability to labor un-medicated.

I made it out with a little tiny tear that didn't even need stitches. Oh, and I pooped on the table, but it wasn't as embarrassing as I thought it would be.

I'm having issues posting pics right now but I'll get one up asap. Thanks for all the happy thoughts!

I would love the hear your story. I went med-free with my son but that was quite a few years ago. I'm hoping to do the same but I'm also open to go with the flow because with each birth it can be so different
