this what childbirth looks up close and personal

I had natural childbirth twice in my life. It felt like I was pushing out a watermelon out my nose. The burning down there was no fun. I realized that I had to breath and grunt threw the pain of childbirth. My husband and my midwife and my girlfriends coached me through the birth telling me to breath and to push when I thought I couldn't do it anymore, They gave me the strengh. My first birth was 17 hours.I pushed for 2 hours straight then my daughter meriedith came out of me in the birthing tub. My husband brian got to catch her and cut the cord. I got to breastfeed her, she was a healthy 7 pounds three onces and 22 inchs long. My husband brian said I handled the birth so well like a female warrior. Then 2 years later I had twin boys brett and cameron, my labor was much shorter and much more intense, my labor was 7 hours 30 minutes. The boys were 2 minutes apart.
Any way you give birth it a special experience.
