I had my TEAM GREEN baby!
Hi Ladies,
Just wanted to pop on and say I had my  on Monday evening! I had the best labor and delivery experience I ever could have asked for so I will be wriiting a birth story soon to share. Long story short, I went to the hospital at 5cm dilated and didn't feel a thing (no joke, I told nurse my pain level was a 1). Was put on pitocin to get contractions stronger and moving along - it worked! Got an epidural at 8cm (could still feel contractions but they were easily manageable) and pushed less than an hour later. Pushed for 55 minutes and popped out....no pain whatsoever!!!! I have a 2nd degree tear so it does hurt down there now but at the time, didn't feel it happen.
First few days were rough. was very sleepy and it was impossible to wake him to eat. I worried he was losing too much weight and he looked jaundiced. I've doubted my ability to handle mommyhood and questioned myself a zillion times. Having a baby turns your world upside-down and mommy guilt is no joke.
Anyway, at 6 days PP my feelings have completely changed and I KNOW I can do this now. As much as I thought I knew pre-baby...I knew nothing. Be patient with yourself, especially if you plan to nurse. And, ask a lot of questions from the professionals.
Good luck to all of you!
