Call me crazy, but I did not feel ANYTHING when I gave birth to River and I’m mad about it. I’m mad that I chickened out, im mad I didn’t get to actually experience that. I’m mad I got the damn epidural. Never again.
If I could replay that day, I would change a few things but regardless I have a perfect,healthy, baby boy and at the end of the day, that’s what matters
For me, personally, I will never get an epidural again. I can handle one day of pain instead of 2+ months. I’m so mad at myself for getting scared too quickly and making that decision too soon in labor.
On top of that, you have to get a catheter when you get an epidural and that can mess with your muscles down there so now when I have to pee, I have to right then or else I will pee my pants
Okay this is gonna be real cringy and gushy but Hayden just looked at my stretch marks, kissed them and still called me beautiful. And said he actually really likes them. I know this may be weird but when you just had a baby, that’s everything to a new momma.
