Like I said, my memories of labor and delivery are hazy. Here are a few things that I almost forgot about:
* During labor I said several times "I'm going to DIE!" I also remember saying "I'm scared" a lot.
* After the baby and the placenta were delivered, the nurses gave me "abdominal massages" every 15 minutes for the first hour or two and then every couple of hours for the next day or so. Don't be fooled by the word 'massage'-- the nurses just pushed really hard on my belly in order to feel my uterus and squish the juices out of it. It's really uncomfortable. The first few times they did it, I could feel blood and whatever else was up inside of me gushing out. Yuck.
