I’m so sorry that everything went completely the opposite of how you wanted it to, that’s just the worst. And I literally cannot believe she was TEN POUNDS. You win all the awards for just attempting to get her out!!!

I had my second baby in September and although both my births pretty much went as well as pushing a watermelon out of a donut hole can go, I would really prefer not to go through that again. I don’t think my husband can handle another round of pregnancy and childbirth either! Lol

Of course, having 2 whole weeks to catch up on sleep and recuperate following their birth probably had something to do with it!! 🙂 I actually went into labor on my own, the day after my dr appt where we scheduled the c-section, so as soon as it was confirmed in triage I was whisked off to the OR. I was glad it happened the way it did, because if I had had too much time to anticipate it, I’m sure I would have worked myself up into quite a state!

I really think I would have had such an easier time with a planned c-section, but I really wanted the VBAC! With a planned c-section I would have been present for the birth, though, because I know the spinal tap would have worked the first time before the baby dropped a bit. And I probably would have avoided spinal headaches. Sigh. If only I had known.

Personally, I still can’t handle hearing about people’s ‘easy’ labor and deliveries because it just makes me feel bad… I’m sure I’ll get there in time, though.
