Elliot was born last night at 10pm cst via VBAC at 38w2d . Same weight as his big brother but 3 inches longer.
I managed to get to 7cm on my own with no pain by walking the hospital halls. After that, however, I started having horrific back labor. I stalled out and had to get pit, for which I insisted on having an epi before administration.
The experience was so amazing and wonderful. So completely different than #1. I am so glad that I was able to have a VBAC and so far, recovery has been awesome. I had 40 minutes of pushing and a teeny 1st degree tear. Almost pulled a swizz with the baby getting stuck on my "extra long" tailbone, but we readjusted my position and managed to get him around it without breaking it.
Thank you all for your support over the past few days. I am so grateful.
