[quote=Anonymous]Just had my first baby week ago. Parts of labor were fine and parts were absolutely miserable. I had to be induced bc my water broke and I wasn’t going into labor. Being hooked up to the iv and monitors was really hard for me. I felt trapped and every time I moved they had to readjust the monitors. I just wanted to get on all fours and I couldn’t do it. My midwife kept telling me I could do whatever I wanted and it was their job to adjust the monitors but the nurse did not make me feel like that was acceptable to her. Laying on my back is really uncomfortable for me even when I’m not in labor but it seemed to be the only way to get the monitors to stay.

Finally decided to get an epidural, mostly because of my mental anguish at not being able to move around. Everything about the epidural was awful. But I was ready to push within 2 hours of the epidural & I’m sure it made pushing easier. Pushing was awesome and empowering and then a baby popped out!! That was the most incredible moment of my life.  [/quote]
