So as a whole I would say this was a bit easier than the 18 hr labor I had with Harper. I would not have said that then though. It was a total of about 7 hrs. The first 5 and a half hours no problem then the contractions gradually became very painful. After about 4 unbelievable cut my arm off kind of contractions I said "give me a painkiller of any kind pllleeaasseee!" I felt like she was ripping her way out..come to find out, she was right then. No meds two pushes she was out. SSSHHHEEWWWW ouch!
Gramma was there to keep Harper entertained as you can see she was everything from making icecream to painting nails they did it.
Okay so I have to admit that I was a bit nervous on the way to the hospital. Nervous for the obvious...the amount of pain I was about to go through knowing what a no medicated labor is like, and the unknown pain of pitocin because I was induced. Also I was heartbroken thinking of Harper and how I was getting ready to have to share myself with one other little person.
Harper was so happy and proud to be a big sis.
