Congrat's Mama!
Wow, parts of your birth remind me so much of mine.
The long labor(31hrs for me), having a different type of pressure waves(leg labor for me), your baby's strength throughout the long intense labor and this part especially ;

I remember a few moments of anger and frustration. Hours without change and progress. Feeling stuck in a perpetual loop of contraction and relaxation. I remember wanting something to just be DONE about being stuck and not knowing what to do and trying everything I knew.

Welcome to the world Simon!
