First baby. I pushed for 36 minutes. I had an epidural, but it had started wearing off prior to me pushing (the hospital was super crowded that day so the anesthesiologist never made it back to give me another dose before Maya was born). I tore and had to get 4 stitches.
First baby, pushed for about 8 minutes. We weren't keeping exact count but I have it on video!
No meds. or epi.
