I had none of the mind ...What a time you had of it! I had none of the mind games at all. I had all kind of complications, but none of the thinking stuff other than - Ouch that hurts, bad position, must re-position, do NOT sit on the toilet (the only time I screamed!), water does NOT help but seems to make it worse, etc. etc. It seemed like most of the things that I'd read and felt like would help just made it worse when I got there! <br />Everything was physical for me, no mental games (those came later when I got into the nursing issues). I think I'm very glad for that. I don't know that I'd have the stamina for a multi day, disappointment-laden labor. Maybe that Pitocin wasn't so bad after all;)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641734420055203960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693690641892596564.post-90830056998733759712010-10-28T12:08:40.099-04:002010-10-28T12:08:40.099-04:00Rebecca, ask away!

But I think it's just another case of the shoemaker's children going barefoot :) And if you remember from The Business of Being Born, that one midwife's labor?? Yep.

Hehe.....I wonder if, since this seems to be such a nemesis of yours, you'll end up having twelve kids after all. Heehee! (I know it's terrible to laugh at such a thing, but...well, what else can we do but laugh at ourselves?)Susannah Forsheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789037705502234165noreply@blogger.com
