My third was so hard to push out. I felt like my ass and vagina were exploding. It took only like 5 minutes, lol, but it was the longest 5 minutes of my life. He was 9 lbs with a giant head. No epi.
I want to experience the kind of births that some of you apparently had. Love labor? Would do it again and again?? The first thing I felt when Vivi was born was absolute relief that I would NEVER, EVER have to do that again. Then omg is she ok? Then hunger. Then love. Lol.
It is the best and the worst. I am sad I will never do it again. For me I love the feeling if my body working to get the baby out, and then pushing until I get to hold the baby. It is so beautiful and primitive and natural and it makes me feel alive. But yes it hurts like a mofo. Lol
I went four hours before the doctor said "Well, you can keep trying this, or we'll do a C-section." She was born by C-section about ten minutes later. I still laugh that the doctor made it sound like I had the option to keep pushing. His face was telling me 'we're doing a C-section, this kid is not budging'.

I felt like that with Ollie- I was so proud of myself and felt so, I don't know, womanly? It made me feel badass.
Then this time I was like "Yeah, yeah- I am woman, hear me roar or whatever- just get her OUT!" Lol.
