I even had the Monday-Wednesday thing. My son had been breach, and although he turned he turned the wrong way. It should have been a caesarean birth but it progressed too far. In the end I was given an epidural and he was a forceps birth. There was the meconium issue also. Then came all of the breast feeding nightmares-bleeding nipples!The Blasphemous Fiendesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13611710742977626937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799660367320178164.post-24348121015379911842009-07-04T07:18:31.698-07:002009-07-04T07:18:31.698-07:00Great story.

The ride to the hospital was enough to move him around and put me into transition so he was born pretty quickly after we got there; I figured I'd have a cesarean or at least drugs, but there wasn't time for either. The birth was still so traumatic. The hospital staff treated me like a piece of meat and I left the hospital feeling abused. You're very lucky to have had a good experience. I had my second child at home and that was a healing experience that I really needed. I was really effed up after my son's birth. I look forward to reading pt. 2. :)Chandellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469510353021344718noreply@blogger.com
