Labor story
So I am a FTM and only 18 years old. I was a week over due and I was watching TV when my water broke. I was in labor for 27 hours. My mother and my boyfriend were both in the delivery room. I got the epidural but I still felt everything. When my contractions got worse and it was time for pushing I kept telling my boyfriend to hit the button to give me more of the epidural and he got yelled at. My daughter had to come out vacuum assisted. She was 8lbs 12oz, sunny side up and I got stitched all up and down. I thought that once I had her that it was over. But that wasn't the case. My placenta was stuck so the doctor had to manually get it out and that was even worse then labor. I was set on breastfeeding my daughter but it turns out that she is tongue tied and I have flat nipples. So I decided to pump. When the nurse brang it in she told me to turn the suction up to high so my milk would come out faster but that extremely hurt. Now I have stopped pumping and I feed her formula now. I am so excited to have my daughter in my life even though it was the worst pain in the world.
Aw congratulations. I'm tongue tied just like your princess. I didn't know is hard on babies to breastfeed if they are tongue tied.
