The Birth of Catherine Sophia - 5 Feb 2008 (warning - long!)

Congratulations! You did an amazing job! Your birth story reminded me a bit of mine - I had an epi but it had worn off by the pushing phase, and I was screaming 'I can't do this!' all through transition as well - and a few times, "I need a c/section!" LOL. And the head, isn't it the strangest feeling? All squishy and wrinkly.

Congrats again!

Woohooo, Congratulations Bun!!!
I'm tingling all over just being reminded of birthing Alex now...
I'm so happy that the epi had worn off for you - whilst i'm sure the pain was overly intense when it came back, it would have been so well worth it!!
And the feeling when you first hold them in your arms is just priceless!!
Congratulations on Catherine's birth!!
