I have had a slowish recovery which is why I haven't posted yet but I am finally starting to get a little energy to do things. They don't call it labor for nothing folks!
WOW!!! I'm so impressed...so many times do I hear moms say I was induced and therefor HAD to get an epidural...it makes me sad. Now I"ve never been induced so don't know how I would react but I wouldn't every say I HAD to get one. How proud you must feel of all you went through! GREAT JOB MAMMA!! You give me so much encouragement that no matter what happens I can do this naturally if I work really hard and don't give up. And if it ends up not being I can say I did my very best! Thank you for sharing your story!!!

Wow! I was induced (at one week overdue) with my first DD due to pre-e. NOT FUN. I can't believe you didn't get the epi. AMAZING, mama.

Congrats mama and welcome baby Isabelle! :

XOXO
