How was your pregnancy? Normal

 

How did you feel about your upcoming birth?

Great . My previous baby was born weighing 10 lb., 6 oz. But we thought this baby would be smaller!


Description of your birth experience:

It was great, my longest labor at 17 ½ hours, labor did stall at one point, but I got relaxed and things picked up again.


How did you feel after the birth (first month)? Great


How did you feel six months after the birth? One year? Now? 

I had no problems at any of these milestones.  And am currently pregnant again!


Any words of wisdom to impart?

Don't be afraid to birth a big baby. With the right support people, it is totally possible and normal!
