I could have choked her, I was in pain and ready to kill for an epidural, which I did not recieve because my labor progressed too fast to have time to get one. Anyway the lady next to me gave birth to a 18 pound toddler! Naturally! From what I heard she grunted, pushed and out shot this kid and she asked for her lunch! I later found out it was her 5th baby, but laughing while delivering an 18 pound kid, I don't think so! <em>justmylife's last blog post..<a href='http://justmylife-mygripespot.blogspot.com/2008/02/its-raining-its-pouring.html'>It's raining, It's pouring....</a></em> When I was delivering my 2nd baby, the women in the bed next to me, was laughing and joking and having a natural birth.

I didn't have an epidural with mine, either. With my first child, the laboring woman in the next room didn't like my grunts and whines, and someone came into my room and told me I needed to be quiet because I was scaring the woman in the next room. I did get quieter, but not before I yelled loud enough for the entire wing of the hospital to hear: "You can tell the woman in the next room that I don't give a flying eff if I'm scaring her, she can EFF OFF!" A screaming woman in the next labor room would have scared me, too, but being in the same situation, I would not have dared send someone into the screaming woman's room to complain about it. The nerve! <em>Devilish Southern Belle's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DevilishSouthernBelle/~3/233769675/'>I think I love you!</a></em> Bless your heart!

I've delivered all of mine naturally, so believe me I've felt every single thing. And the second time was no where close to the first. It was faster, easier and actually knowing what I was in for ended up being a help not a hinderance (like you I was initially more apprehensive the 2nd time.

Ugh! I tried to have a natural birth. Really. I was induced and went twelve hours without any medication. (I just kept remembering my childbirth class, wehre they said the average first birth lasts 12 hours. Ha!) Then, I asked for the epidural. Then, I ended up having a c-section. I'm having a planned c-section this time and I am so, so nervous. I think the not knowing the first time - not knowing how much it was going to frickin' hurt - was a good thing. <em>Leslie's last blog post..<a href='http://mymommysplace.com/blog/2008/02/10/buck-the-monkey/'>Buck The Monkey</a></em> I don’t know how you made it AFTER your epidural started to wear off.
