My Birth Story
I still believe the stories of joyful, natural, unmedicated births. I still believe that childbirth can be pleasant and enjoyable, even orgasmic.

My experiences involved pain, drugs, and this last time birth by surgical means.

I was 2 weeks late, induced every possible way, 11 hours after inductions began I had a contraction... 6 hours of non medicated labor, 30 more of medicated labor, and still only 3 cm dilated. I had 104 fever, and Piper had 104.5. Emergency C-section rooms were full, so 45 minutes later after the (read about and then experienced) pulling and tugging and slurping of the blood vac I saw my angel for an instant, then had to wait 5 hours with every ounce of self restraint from getting out of ICU to...1 point
