First was 32 hours and 2nd was 3 hours – not prepared and 2nd midwife did not arrive in time. Shocky kind of aftermath.. That baby went off to med school at age 18. My 5th home birth was an UGLY 20 hours. Just goes to show you!

You definitely deserve many high fives for doing it all natural lol. Also September 1st is an awesome day because it’s my husband and my anniversary 🙂 We are expecting our first baby on November 15th and we are super excited. I hope to have a nice smooth delivery just like you! Of course who knows what could happen! Ah. I’m going to try to keep an open mind about everything.

Been there! For my first a 3.5 hour labour from first contraction to birth and she was born 45 minutes after we got to the hospital (4-10cms in that 45 mins). For DD2, 1st contraction to birth was 45 minutes – ON MY FRONT LAWN!

Jodi,
You’re right… unfortunately, nothing can truly prepare you for labour. I think the only advice I can give you is to be prepared for ANYTHING… and go in with no expectations. I know that’s sucky advice, but… you’ll see 😉 Best of luck. Hope your son is born Nov 19th 🙂 That’s my b-day. Mostly, I wish you a quick and healthy delivery. All the best.

Amazing story! My Husband and I are expecting our first this coming November and while we couldn’t be more excited to meet him, I’m scared to death about delivery. Your story made me laugh, smile and even gave me the goosebumps! I have a plan, I like to be prepared but I don’t think anything can prepare me for this :0
