I didn’t find labor that horror, either. I was excited about our son’s birth, of course, and there was work to be done. Wouldn’t say it was comfortable — it was just hard work.
Towards the end I did beg for them to take my leg off and just get that baby OUT!! haha, but it is a really amazing delivery system the Lord has created, and kind of spectacularly wonderful to be part of that Plan.
I asked my birth coach — ‘You did that FIVE times?’ But after about an hour I wanted 10 more. Those little bitty babies are so darned cute. (As hulking teenage boys they are quite a bit less so).
Well, if God gave us teenagers FIRST we might just change our minds... ;)
