Is on my blog:

There's some swearing in the story, which is an MDC no-no, so I thought I'd just link it rather than c/p.

Congratulations!!!!

That sounds like a very overwhelming birth! I'm glad that everything went well, though, and that you have your new little one on the outside!

Congrats!

I had a very short labor with my second, and it was just as you describe. Three years later, I'm still a bit dizzy from it. Almost like, "How could this one be mine? How could this be over?" It was a very strange experience. From the first, "Oh, okay, this is probably active labor contraction" to actually holding him was right at 30 minutes. Totally weird.

My next was a lovely 6 hours, no prelabor at all. It was the perfect amount of time to just have a baby. Think it through, get it together, never awful, oh, here she is. I hope to repeat that this time.

.

Enjoy your new baby, and her amazing arrival.

Congrats!

That sounds a lot like my second labor--minimal pre-labor, dad catch before getting out the door to the birth center, double nuchal cord. It was very whirl-windy!

Congratulations mama!!

It is stories like these that show us each birth is different--and that sometimes labor and birth just is what it is, and it's not the fault of the mother if she cannot stay within herself and have a "pain-free" birth.
