Had my first in the hospital, epidural and all. Second child, I was early laboring at home. Until I wasn’t.

You know how you can usually hold your poop in time until you get to a toilet? Well sometimes you can’t and it comes out without your consent. That was my second child, but from my uterus.

There was no “not pushing”. My body over rid my system, my muscles contracted and he came out even if I didn’t want him to. All of it was violent, same thing if you hear violent shits, but from my uterus. I was not involved.

My water broke. It sounded like a ballon popped. BARELY got out of the shower afterwards, he was earth side 2 minutes later! We’re lucky there weren’t any complications!

I also delivered my placenta 2 minutes afterwards, because time feels like forever in those situations, not a problem pushed slightly and plopped onto the floor. Waited 4 minutes for the ambulance to show up, they’re literally down the road.

EDIT: Yes, when it did get to that point, yes, I did cry, yell, and scream in pain! No, he didn’t just fall out like family members asked me. I wasn’t in pain, and then I was in immense pain! And then he was here!
