Baby Rabies
This post made me die laughing and scared the living $hit out of me. I was already wondering if I am crazy for planning/hoping for a 2nd med-free birth...

Re: Baby Rabies
Best paragraph ever:
I felt the uncontrollable, unstoppable urge to push. And so I did. I pushed while sitting on top of the toilet filled with poop, like ?I Didn?t Know I Was Pregnant? style, like ?I Delivered My Baby At Prom? style. And for a brief moment I looked over at my germaphobe husband and could see a look of terror flash through his eyes. OMG, was I about to have this baby in a toilet bowl full of ***?!
And it really scared me. And I asked Scott why I did this again. Why would I ever put myself through this again? Why would he let me? A**hole
LOL!
Hi-freaking-lairous! It also scared me a little (not that I'm planning a med-free birth), but overall, too funny. Her commentary on the the state of her mind at certain times is classic.
Obviously no baby has ever been pushed out my vagina (2 c/s, the second one being scheduled) - so the furthest thing from a med-free birth.
But having the second baby is SO surreal. It's weird knowing what is going to happen. With Jackson, I was so out of it, I don't think I had a clue what was going on, but with Scarlett, I was so aware. At times I wished I was much less aware and as clueless as I had been with Jackson, lol.
So anyway, even though I had a much different birth experience, I could really relate to a lot of that. It's like WTF. I remember at one point when I was getting prepped for surgery I was thinking why am I doing this again? Why did I decide to have surgery to have a baby? And I started to freak out and got mad at Jeff - like why didn't he encourage me to try a VBAC? LOL (even though my doctors wouldn't have done it because I am a terrible candidate for a VBAC due to the reasons I had a c/s in the first place).
This was hilarious! Call me crazy, but it actually reassured me that it will be ok to have a med-free birth.
These words are something I am going to keep in mind when or if I reach that moment.
But I gave myself a mini pep talk in my head. The only way out of this was through this. The only way to make the pain stop was to give in to the pain and get it over with. It was time to get down to business. It was time to have a baby.
