I am ...I am so glad you had such great nurses, Jen. I am beginning to think that nurses set the tone of a birth a lot more than I used to think. At one friend's birth we had one evil nurse and then one nice one and the difference in the labor and mood was amazing.lislynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10226221709279544399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693690641892596564.post-12464978113102811312009-06-08T16:36:16.224-04:002009-06-08T16:36:16.224-04:00I've heard several birth stories lately that j...I've heard several birth stories lately that just make me shudder -- docs forcing inducement because the baby is a couple days late, inducing not working, giving drugs to help mom rest over night and then re-induce the next day leading to a 60 hour labor! ugh! But,I have to say that I was so impressed with our docs and nurses when I had Evie. It was a fabulous experience. I even had one nurse on my first night (as I was in labor) who encouraged me to my plan of not to get the epidural. With all the complications we had (back labor, me stuck, her stuck, etc.) those nurses were awesome! They encouraged me to try anything I wanted to try - the tub, the toilet, any position, walking, ball, etc. They definitely let me know that I called the shots. Of course, once my "delirium" of exhaustion set in, I dcided to go for the epidural and things started happening fast, but that's another story;)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641734420055203960noreply@blogger.com
