I love this story! Glad it went well. Some of it does suck, but the fact that they let you labor down for an hour is awesome. I swear to this day that me pushing before I felt pressure/need to push was why I tore the way I did. So happy you had good nurses and that your doctor was more flexible than expected.

Yay! So happy to read this and that you're home with a healthy little nugget And maybe your experience will help the doctors chill out more on future patients, eh?

Wonderful story. So happy you had such supportive nurses in the end! You should be so, so proud of yourself!

Thanks for sharing! You are the poster child/mom for advocating for yourself! I'm happy you found an ally in the nurse. Hope your milk comes in quickly and your recovery continues smoothly!
