1. What was childbirth like for you?

Which child? My 8 year old was really hard. Induced, epidural, and then forceps. Which all led to a 4th degree tear. My 5 year old was easy until I went to the hospital. Nurse broke water for no reason and then I was in pain. Had an epidural but it didn’t fully take. The doctors didn’t listen to my concerns. My 2 year old was an unassisted home birth. It was easy with minimal pain and much more peaceful.
