Plus he was my first, so I was even more stress and scared because I've never done this before, I hung in there for 10 hours like that, I had it. After the epidural I fell asleep, woke up an hour later having him, it took only three pushes out he came. The nurse told my hubby and parents this was the frst she ever seen an epidural work that good.
With my last two I needed nothing, in and out, but I knew what was going to take place so I was much more relaxed, this let the body do it's work, in fact the last two were so easy and painless I was board...
Sadly I can say this hurt even more the labor! They wanted to see if it passed first on it's own, it did within three hours. They did the ultrasonic at lest three times to make sure it was moving not stuck, it kept a moving and you knew it.

That first child is the worst one!!! When my wife (who wasn't my wife at the time) had our first child, he got stuck, and the doctor was late in getting there. They couldn't give her the epidural without an order from him, and she ending up tearing. This is the child I was talking about who was adopted out and we made contact with recently, only to find out he's very borderline retarded. I am convinced this happened to him because of a lack of oxygen. We have 4 other children, and none of them are retarded. Every time I think about him being retarded it breaks my heart and makes me want to go find that doctor and beat him senseless for being late!!!! Ugh!
