It's a girl! Again!
I'm happy to announce the birth of my second daughter, Elizabeth Solanges (my wife's mother's name). She weighed in at 10 pounds, 10 ounces, and we didn't have time to get Mommy an epidural. Anyways, here she is, and here we are.
Everyone's doing okay, though I have to say that we're rather tired. I hope to have them both home tomorrow.

Congratulations!
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

If they didn't have time to give her one at least that means she wasn't laying there in pain for 20 hours
Congrats, she's gorgeous! Well, both of them are

OMG! While that sounds good, you'll know that comment is silly once you push out a ten pound baby with no pain medication Think of a really hard shit that won't come out and then times that pain by at least 20Tinkerbell wrote:If they didn't have time to give her one at least that means she wasn't laying there in pain for 20 hours
And I'm going by what I felt when I had an epidural. There's a reason why they say childbirth is the most painful thing someone can go through. There's also a reason why in the old days women died as a result of childbirth.
But I won't start a fight in this joyful thread. I just felt I should point that out.

I would assume that "no time to get an epidural" means that her cervix was continually dilating and the labour was progressing smoothly enough that they felt it would be a bad idea to halt the show for an epidural, not that the whole thing was over before they could have possibly performed the procedure.
Rebecca had both Matthew and David without an epidural, and both births went quite quickly (with Matthew we hit the hospital at noon, and he was out two hours later). But she spent months strengthening her abdominal muscles with daily exercises before she got pregnant.
In any case, congratulations on the new baby girl!!!!!

I understand it would have gone fast but that's not the most painful part of childbirth, the most painful part for me was when the baby was right there and I was trying to push it out. The labour was managable. I guess I felt I had to say that stuff was because to me it sounded like she was saying the worst part was over and that the pain would have been quick, doesn't matter how quick it takes to get that baby out it's the pain you feel when you're trying to push it out.Darth Wong wrote:I would assume that "no time to get an epidural" means that her cervix was continually dilating and the labour was progressing smoothly enough that they felt it would be a bad idea to halt the show for an epidural, not that the whole thing was over before they could have possibly performed the procedure.

This is indeed the case; she was 7-8 cm dilated when the doctor first checked (and at that point he asked for an "urgent epidural"). The problem: we showed up on an impossibly busy night, and the anaesthesiologist on call was occupied elsewhere. With this being the second baby, things progressed very quickly (about two hours from the time we hit the hospital until the delivery, and about four hours from membrane rupture to crying baby). The notion of stopping labour wasn't even discussed.Darth Wong wrote:I would assume that "no time to get an epidural" means that her cervix was continually dilating and the labour was progressing smoothly enough that they felt it would be a bad idea to halt the show for an epidural, not that the whole thing was over before they could have possibly performed the procedure.

You should try a midwife the next time (if there's a next time). Rebecca and I were much more impressed with the midwife than we were with the hospital.
