This is the condensed version....

DS -- Went into labor in the middle of the night. (Of course, my hair looked crazy!)

Doctor said this is your first so take your time, we ignored him and immediatly went to the hospital.

I was dilating really fast, was rushed to a room and then my contractions stopped.

I received medicine to start my contractions again and received an epidural.
My epidural was so strong, I felt NOTHING!!!!!! They said push, I said where?????!!!
I pushed for 30 minutes and they said if he wasn't born soon, they would suction him out.
I pushed with all my might (I felt NOTHING) and tore myself apart but he was born!!!

They put DS on my stomash and I passed out.
Turns out I was hemorraging.
DH watched the Doctor trying to get me to stop bleeding.
Finally I did stop. Luckily I didn't need blood, but it took alot of IV fluid to get me back to "normal".

The worst part of it was the wheelchair ride to the car.
The teenager drove me like it was the Indy 500 and I thought I was going to die!


DD was alot worse!!
Went into labor at 10pm - exhausted from the day.
We timed them and decided since I went fairly fast last time, it was time to go to the hospital.
Only problem - it was a full moon and every women in a 100 mile radius was in labor too.
They told me to go home and I refused. So DH and I walked the hospital until I was dilated enough to be admitted.
(I was in so much pain, I was convinced that I could tear the handrails off the wall!!!)
Got admitted, got the epidural --- and it wore off when I was pushing!!!! Damn - that's what labor feels like???? Totally sucked.
Pushed her out as fast as I could, tore myself a new asshole and felt every stich when he stiched me up.
She was 2 oz. shy of 10lbs. She looked like a sumo wrestler. If I can find her baby book (Yes, if I can find it -- she is the 2nd child) I'll attach the picture!!!)
