[quote=Anonymous]Yes and no. I enjoyed it up until pushing. I progressed pretty quickly, it wasn't that painful (I don't mean to sound like an asshole, it just wasn't, I recognize that's pure luck), and I mostly just hung out with my husband while bouncing on an exercise ball. But I did not like pushing. It wasn't really painful, I was got really scared that I was doing it "wrong." There was a lot of unexpected panic in that moment. Nothing went wrong, and it was only about 20 minutes of pushing, I just got irrationally terrified. Then when it was over I was kind of shocked and just like what is this creature on me? If I have a second the thing I would want to do differently is communicate with the doctor more. Like I could have just said "am I doing this right? is everything okay?" and instead I just completely lost my shit (also literally, but I could not have cared less in the moment). The nurse pushing on my uterus afterward was the most painful part and something that was totally unexpected. Nothing enjoyable about that. [/quote]
