I was watching the show "One Born Every Minute" on Lifetime tonight. This show always makes me cry and reminisce about my experiences with my first two children and what my 3rd experience will be like.
Both the experiences were very different. The "labor" was the same. I was induced and got an epidural pretty quickly. The delivery was completely different. With Jayden I pushed for about 2.5 hours and I was on oxygen and was so completely exhausted I tried talking the doctor into doing a c-section because I honestly didn't think I could actually push him out. There were like 10 nurses and my doctor along with Jordan and myself and it was very chaotic. With Gabriella I only pushed for 15 minutes and there she was. It was really easy and calm, 2 nurses, 1 doctor and me and Jord. So who knows what this next labor and delivery will be like. I have a new doctor and so far even my appointments have been very different. So it'll be interesting.

Dang, I forgot to watch it...again. Ohh well.
ReplyDeleteWatching any birth always gets me all teary...all kinds of births, natural, c-sections, inductions...because it's always such a beautiful moment when the baby finally comes out. All the anticipation is...awesome.
