Lux’s Story Part 3 | Recovery: walk it off, they said…
So Lux was born (!) and after about an hour we were moved to the postpartum ward. They had me stand up from the bed to sit in my wheelchair and immediately I threw up and bled everywhere. My doula said pads would be enough, but man did I love using a diaper. Seriously. No muss no fuss… Anyways… (:P)
Lux's Story Part 2 | Labor: they ain't joking, it’s WORK.
My dream labor was to be at home, surrounded by candles, in a birthing pool, with music I love, a midwife who respects my needs and my body and being unmedicated… unfortunately that wasn't gonna happen for me. I knew early on that they were going to induce me. I did all that I could to try and induce labor on my own, but it didn't work. In fact it ended up taking a long time even with inducing me.
