A Labor of Love

In honor of the Labor Day, I thought I'd participate in Shannon's MeMe.  It's about...well, labor. And not the kind you get a day off from, either.

How long was your labor? 

Approximately 30 hours.   Fun, right?

How did you know you were in labor? 

I was in excruciating pain whenever I would lay down.  It was impossible to sleep.  Oh, the foreshadowing...


Where did you deliver?

In my bedroom.  Yes, we planned it that way.

Drugs?

Unless Gatorade has a very dirty secret, no.

C-section? 

No.

Who delivered?

I did.  To the waiting arms of two amazing midwives.  The third midwife was dispensing gatorade and rubbing me.  A lot.  

If you want to play along with this meme, just cut and paste the questions into your own blog, and leave a comment so I can read yours! 


And, Happy Labor Day - I hope you aren't laboring like this today.  Or if your 10 months pregnant and really want to be?  Then I hope you are.

  1. OK, I'm gonna be honest here. My last baby was born 26 years ago and I'm still having flashbacks of labor so I just can't answer these questions! ha! Everyone says you forget the pain... ummm.... I dunno, I must be just difficult then cuz I haven't. Grandkids are much better. No labor, all joy!
