I'm getting a "browser bug" message when I click on the link, Aimee. Not sure why.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Because books.
Jake was induced and still wouldn't budge after three hours of pushing. At that point, I didn't even feel like a failure, I was just so glad to get the whole thing over with.
Turned out, Em just positioned her head wrong so it's all her fault and I can use this later as leverage.
Such a good idea.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Crap, me too. Um...crap.

Aimee, I tried the Press link, and it's got the same error message, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
So, what? I was the only woman out there with pure horrifying back labour, basically yelling "OUCH MOTHERFUCKER C-SECTION GET THIS DEMON SPAWN THE HELL OUT ALREADY!"?
I can honestly say it never occurred to me to feel like a failure. I was all about the "fuck you I want this damned thing out and dealing on its own now" head space.

For me, it was, "This is something I am SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO DO! My body was MADE FOR THIS!" I felt much the same way when I couldn't get pregnant to begin with. Being a mother was the ONE thing I always knew I'd be. And to at first, not be able to achieve it and then, to not achieve it in the way I had planned and planned, broke my heart, at the time.

Yup, Aimee, that's about where I was at, too. Heck, I didn't even get to push. I went in at 2 cm and after 13 hours induced labor was still at 2 cm. The body, she did not want to accomodate at all. Not the baby's fault. Just mine being stubborn.
