Well, how bad did you tear? everyone may not want to know that but I am curious. Did the tell you what degree? How long was the labor/delievery. How are you feeling today (honestly)!!! love ya D
Okay, it was a second degree tear ( which means not just skin tore but muscle too, and it was a pretty long tear. I tore so bad there was a chunck of me that had to be creatively replaced...I'll leave it at that) I had to be induced this time, but from the time they started the labor to when she was born it was about 12 hours (an improvement from the 36 hours of labor with Miriam, so I am thankful for that). I only pushed for about 45 minutes once I was allowed to start pushing. How am I (honestly) feeling? well, recovery this time is very slow in comming, physically. Mentally I think I am better off this time than I was after Miriam. I had some major depression for a while after her, but I haven't really experienced that this time. Maybe I won't at all. That would be nice. The last part of the pregnancy this time around was so emotionally and mentally draining I really just feel happy and really good. Amy Jane, thanks for the cheer. I hope you get to met her someday.
Oh man!! I know how that feels. Yikes!! I also had a little depression after East. Well she is beautiful and you look great too!! All my after labor pics I look miserable.
So we made it.
