I wasn't sure where exactly to place this, as it's not exactly a 'birth story' but i wasn't sure it belonged in General Chatter either - Moderators please move if necessary.

I'm just curious to know, how long was your birth story?
I'm currently writing mine and i'm going to break 4000 words before it is even finished.

I really wanted to document everything i could remember - but i never imagined it would come to this much. & I really want to share it here on BB but i don't imagine anyone will read it and i don't feel right about cutting pieces out and making it incomplete!!

Has anyone else had a ridiculously long marathon of a birth story??

Especially considering mine is 'textbook' - drug free no interventions...
I mean, seriously FOUR THOUSAND WORDS???!
The only thing it's got going is that is was eighteen hours and it's obviously an emotional recollection as well as all the obvious physicals etc...

It's a short thesis for christs sakes.
