My very long birth story...

I am so very proud of you!!! You beat all the odds.....you were in a hospital and refused drugs. Good for you! You totally kept your cool.

ITA with you....I refused drugs every single time. I am not a super hero, but b/c I HATE the thought of a needle going in my back, I rather go natural. I've had back surgery in the past and the thought of messing myself up again makes me very nervous. That's why I say no to it. I am afraid of the after math effect it will have on my body and back.

So very happy for you!!!!
the rest of your deliveries will be a breeze!!! LOL

Congrats!!!

awesome birth review.

Great story...your a tough cookie...I hope i'm as strong as you!!

VERY well written story! I was on the edge of my seat through your entire post and loving it, and I have to tell you that the last little paragraph pushed me over the edge and made me well up. Congrats again Rebecca!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing! You have a higher threashold for pain then I can ever imagine!!

Enjoy being a mommy!!!!!

Congratulations! I had to go to L&D twice and got sent home twice before giving birth. I think the rides in the car were almost as bad as being in the birthing room.

Congrats!!! What a great birth story!!!

what an amazing birth story! congrats on your gorgeous baby girl!!!

I'll say it again..you are my hero. I don't know if I could do it without the drugs.

I have to say, just as many did before me, you are, too, MY HERO!

What a great story- thank you for sharing. I want to go all natural, too, so it was very inspiring!

Congrats!

I'm still in awe that you made it through without the epidural. (Bowing down) I hope your doc was nice enough to at least numb you before repairing your tear!

Elizabeth is gorgeous! Congrats again, superwoman! We are all amazed

And I hope that your DH handed you a nice drink when you got home!!!

Thanks so much for sharing. I hope I have as good of an experience. Congrats!

Your story was great not too long.

I know it has been said a million times on this thread but kudos to you for going natural. Not sure if I am that brave.. Congrats!

Wonderful birth story! Congratulations
