True to the first part and then the 2nd part, if your mother isn’t a narcissist/borderline.. in this case, the love you feel pisses you off about your own mother. All to say, such a beautiful, scary, unique, tiring, surreal, joyful experience.

No plan but high expectations and EVERYTHING went completely different than I expected. It took about 5-7 days to finally relish in all the baby love. And I’ve been living with this guilt 17+ years maybe forever. I’ve never heard anyone else talk about not being able to fully embrace in motherhood due to your own physical pain. Also I was MISERABLE ALL 3 of my pregnancies 😂😂😂 I was delulu thinking that the birthing process was going to be the easiest part.

The epidural and Pitocin can both bring on the shakes and the shivers in the Mom. I shivered and shook like a petrified Chihuahua. I was laying trying to rest as much as possible. And as I laid there visibly shaking my husband was freaking out. I was on my making out schedules for work during my maternity leave. Finally my Doctor walked in thinking I was aware he walked in. Finally my husband said Babe your Doctor is here stop working. They pulled out the catheter and apparently the baby had already worked her way down. Literally the Doctor looked at my vagina and he said OH MY GOD her head is almost coming out. And I did a medium push and she was out. No ripping or tarring. They cleaned her off and put her on my chest.

My suggestion would be to TRY your best to not get induced. I had that sorta happen with my first. I didn’t know what LABOR was but when I went in I was 1cm and they administered pitocin and broke my water. My second they scheduled an induction and it was harder than my third who came out all natural, no meds no interventions. Came into the hospital at like 5cm. It’s not any judgement, but I do think indicting when it’s not naturally time to go in makes it harder on mom and baby. I’m very proud of Esther. She’s so small and what she went through is no joke. My sil literally just went through an induction and they did every intervention only to end up in a c section. She’s got her handsome sweet boy, home and healthy. And Esther’s sweet baby girl. I do think our bodies, for the most part, do what they need to do in those moments. Being in the hospital makes it very unlikely you’ll hit anything you can’t recover from.

My wife and I have a 10 month old, this episode reminded me of our birth story. It definitely reminded to appreciate my wife more, it reminded me of what she had to go through and gave me a not so newfound respect towards her and all the mommas out there. I’m happy baby Ace is doing well, always enjoy baby Ace updates on Esther’s story!

I am so glad they believed you and you were able to get pain relief. I have a chronic pain condition as it is and pregnancy was so painful for me. My first baby I went in and was sent home for not progressing fast enough for them even though I was 3cm and having contractions every 5 minutes. Since I was at 38 weeks they didnt want to rush anything. I went home and was miserable continuing having contractions every 5 minutes for like 7 hours until I went back in. They tried to send me home again too and I refused. Everyone said oh you will know when its time and I kept saying well I thought I knew thats why I came to the hospital lol. I had my son about 12 hours later. I was stupid and said I didnt need the epidural when I was at 5cm and then when I did need it it took fucking forever to actually get and then kick in so I was miserable. I knew the second time around that I would not say no when they asked. I got to the hospital at 5cm the second time and said I wanted the epidural as soon as they would give it to me so they called the on call guy and he didnt get there for well over an hour which being on call he should have been there within 20 minutes. I almost didnt get it. Everything happened so fast this time around that the doctor almost didnt make it in time. my epidural kicked in when I was literal 10cm dilated I thought I was going to die. Its the terrible contractions and the awful pain I was having while laboring that made me want the epidural. As soon as it kicked in I pushed literally 1 and a half times and the baby was here. I had a nurse say something to me while i was writhing in pain and begging for the epidural like "you know there are women who do this without one" and I looked at her like wtf lady and said "this absolutely does not help in any way". I was so fucking annoyed by that. Every women is different. Because I have literal skeletal issues my hips and spine are already messed up so pregnancy made all my pain issues worse. So I was really hurting and I honestly didnt know how I was going to get thru each one. The fact you were in so much pain at .5cm dilated and they gave you an epidural right away is great since that is what you needed. Theres no way you would have been able to handle the pain of laboring all the way through without it. Of course you would have been able to get it if there was no way for you to get the pain relief. But it is so hard. Big ups to all the women who can and do birth their babies all natural while in the hospital. I feel like if I was home in a pool and all that and not being forced to be hooked up to the annoying monitors and shit that I would have been a little less miserable. They say being on all 4s and stuff helps. Anyways, sorry for the book. Congratulations Esther I am so proud of you and so happy for you. You are such a beautiful momma. Enjoy this amazing ride they call motherhood.

Congratulations Esther & Dave 🥰 baby Ace is beautiful! I cried hard hearing the part of not having the golden hour moment❤ I had the same thing happen due to an emergency c section & baby girl having to be checked by NICU. It’s something that makes me cry to this day! Only 9 months out but we are so blessed for our healthy babies! Women are truly resilient & you should be so proud of yourself!❤
