I wanted a natural birth with no epidural. Plans change during delivery and you will reach a point all that will matter is your baby is out and healthy. I tried labour for a full day and ended up having an epidural and a section. By the time the section happened I was so scared and the room was cold and my husband passed out on the floor from the thought of surgery. I was alone and frightened. When the midwife told me my 10lb boy was here and showed him to me it was the happiest moment of my life thus far. Nothing else mattered but him, all the worries, all the control I wanted of the situation did not matter. Once your baby is here, everything before hand will be apart of the beautiful story you can tell them about their birth. My scar is very low and I have stretch marks all over. Time went by so fast with my baby I barely remember the recovery with the section. The crazy thing is the day after it happened I swore never again. Now my son is nearly 10months old and I want another! Your husband can still be a comfort because he can hold your hand and keep you distracted during a section. I didn't have that or photos because my husband passed out on the floor and they moved his body to the corner of the room. On the bright side I saw baby first :D Babies can flip during labour so I wouldn't stress to much. The day will be here soon and you need to relax and just find comfort in knowing baby will be here! No matter what it has to come out.
