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.
