Welp. I've got a baby XD
I did nooooot enjoy giving birth. We had latent labour (strong and frequent contractions but not yet dilated enough to go to hospital, thus not being able to have good pain relief) for 57 hours. I was screaming and crying for probably the last 24 hours straight because it hurt so bad. My body was being too slow, but we finally got into hospital and I had some hours of being able to manage the pain okay but then my body realised it needed to hurry up and... went too fast. The dilation that is normally done in an average of 4-8 hours, I did it in less than an hour. I basically blacked out for that whole time, even though I was conscious I just don't remember it because the pain was so bad. When I came back to myself I found out J had to decide for me to get an epidural so that I could at least function because I was so out of it I couldn't consent to the procedure myself. Anyway, then I still couldn't get over the last hurdle alone because baby was so big, I needed a forceps delivery so they also had to cut me to get him out.
Aaaand then I started bleeding out and almost died :') but they fixed it eventually and got me stable again, we just had to spend a few days in hospital because they were concerned about my blood loss and about the possibility of infection. He's 12 days old now and we're back at home.
after all this, he's my beautiful little angel and I love him so much hahahaha. I was literally lying there in theatre, J had him in his arms and was holding him near my head so I could see, and I was like "oh I'm probably dying? haha okay well never mind LOOK AT HIM HE'S SO PERFECT AHHHHH". Worth it in the end. Though I'm not sure I'm going to have the nerve to do it a second time

That's one hell of a birth story, literally 
I was super worried about you (all of you) and I kept praying for a positive resolution to whatever was happening. Thank dog and the doctors you pulled through! That must've been super scary for you and J, I can't even imagine 
*⁂* Congrats on the baby *⁂*
