Comments on: My Birth Story https://www.iheartdavids.com/blog/2008/03/07/my-birth-story/ It helps me to say these things aloud, I think. Sat, 07 Jun 2008 14:58:36 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.2 By: Jennifer from Cincinnati https://www.iheartdavids.com/blog/2008/03/07/my-birth-story/comment-page-1/#comment-1734 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 14:58:36 +0000 http://www.iheartdavids.com/blog/2008/03/my-birth-story/#comment-1734 Great Job Jenni…I know becoming a mother was like being in a daze, but the result of all your hardwork is awesome. I can’t share in your pain basically my son shot out in under 5 hrs. but I practiced HYPNObirthing breathing & visualization to deliver lil Guinness…I wasnt’ sure it would work but I meditated on the delivery I wanted and low & be hold I was blessed with it…not that there wasn’t pain bc it is LABOR…but it was managable. I too use a ball, but the bitchy nurse in L&D didn’t let me in the shower!
My family tells me I will forget the pain, but I too had stitches from 2nd degree tear, and MAN I can’t forget that pain at all.
You are a trooper, and your lil man is super.
Great Job to you & your husband.

I feel your pain. My first was all tangled up in his umbilical cord and I would push him out and he would slide back up as soon as the contraction was finished. I started pushing at 12:00 (And it was a fast labor up until that point!), he was born at 5:30. He is now seven and I still remember those as the most torturous 5 hours of my life.

The recovery will take awhile. It’s not the traditional 6 weeks when you’ve had that kind of pelvic floor trauma. Be patient. Take care of yourself. And enjoy your baby boy.

Seriously, you look really good for a girl that just gave birth minutes before!

You look fabulous for someone to have gone through what you just did!!! Pushing definitely sucks. The Pressure is unbelievable and hard to describe. I never felt so drained in my life. The stiches hurt too, and I kept yelling at the doctors that the medicine that they give you to numb the area were not working! But it is worth it and I will say again that Henry is precious. You will be an awesome mommy…and Cristin will be an awesome auntie.
