Epidural

"Around 4:30 a.m. I all of a sudden felt the urge to push. I told John to get the nurse, and sure enough, I was a 9. They started rushing in the equipment to set up for delivery. I would be pushing very soon!"

"As contractions intensified, they were so frequent that they were practically one on top of another. I hardly had time to catch my breath before the next one would overtake my body. This ended up being worse, in my opinion, than any amount of pain I was feeling."

"Even though we knew we would be meeting him soon, it was still the surprise of a lifetime and mommy got everything she could have dreamed of and more."

"There wasn't a sense of panic, but there was definitely a sense of urgency. My baby needed to come out as soon as possible."

"We came into this whole journey with an open mind, and now looking back, that is the best advice I could give to those wanting a particular birth plan!"
