He's finally here hooray!

Question

I had my Nathan on August 4th after 5 days of on again off again labor lol. We enjoyed the tub for labor but I didn't end up giving birth in the water as I found my body temperature was rising and I was better able to focus outside of the water. The tub is HIGHLY recommended for laboring though as it helps with those painful transition contractions.

I had a great midwife and this birth although more difficult when it came to pushing was much more pleasant than my first birth experience. This baby came out alert and wide eyed! I was not delirious on drugs and I am healing very nicely after perenial massage vs episiotomy. I had an episiotomy with baby number one and it took weeks to not feel discomfort. I was literally walking around in 3 hours after Nathan's birth and just a little stiff no pain.

Not a question just wanted to update everyone :) Good luck ladies and enjoy the rest of your pregnancies!!!

Answer 1

Good job I had meds and was up and walking a hour after guess it depends on your body.
