XP - my almost-natural story

hlm184 · April 2014

I wanted to share this here as an example of how sometimes meds can help and how to be flexible with your birth plan. I am so glad for all the work I did for natural birth and bradley method - I think things would have gone very differently and possibly poorly had I not gone into this with the proper mindset and without DH being prepared to be such an amazing labor buddy and well educated on the choices we had to make.

You did a great job. OP babies are tough and dealing with contractions for so long is exhausting. I hope you are recovering and enjoying your new baby boy!
