Glad to hear she arrived safely! But, sorry you had to go thru all that. 
Natural childbirth any tips for the pain?

Congratulations and welcome to your little girl!
So sorry it was such an ordeal, seems that women either have a very easy time or a horrible time--no middle of the road. I was very fortunate with both of my girls, although both labours were very fast, that there weren't any real complications.

I’m due this July and now I’m scared 
I’ve had to have two operations involving my cervix and uterus. This puts me at risk for premature labor...... maybe I shouldn’t have typed in pregnancy into the search bar

I love my doctor but he is part of a network so I don’t have a garuntee it will be him when I go into labor. I think the fear is more the fact of this being my third pregnancy and the first where everything points at me actually having a baby this time not having to have a medically necessary procedure because something is wrong with the baby.

I feel kinda obligated to go without the epidural. It’s more of a pride thing than anything else. DH’s exwife will forever be saying ‘well I didn’t need an epidural with Joey’ Joey was also an over 8lb baby and there was a decently long labor according to DH. Now I’ve got it stuck in my head if I get the shot I’m not as strong as her when in reality I’m a much better person. Sadly the little voice in my head tells me that if I get the epidural she wins.

And don't watch the birth shows on TV, they always make it look so awful. It really is not as bad as I was afraid it would be.
There was a lady down the hall from me this time that was screaming like a bleating goat. I considered it comic relief. She probably should have gotten pain meds. Lol

I bet. I’m sure I’ll be fine, DH keeps telling me I’ll be fine. This time I actually have a baby bump! At 19 I had a molar pregnancy and three years ago we had to have an abortion because my poor daughter was so messed up, no amniotic fluid, no bladder or kidneys. Just a mess. The doctor who performed the procedure was amazing and I loved her for getting my daughters footprints for me. Once it’s safe again I’m getting a memorial tattoo of her feet as owl wings. Losing Karrigan still has me screwed up mentally so it’s scaring me this time worrying I’ll lose this baby too.
