Watching Baby Story made me think about this...

When I was pushing to deliver my first son I pushed like hell, but I pushed too much in my face.. and it blew blood vessels SO BAD, even a really nasty one in my eye. When I delivered the second and third I pushed like hell also but I did it right and never blew blood vessels. I'm glad I figured it out :lol I have no idea what the point of this is :rofl I pushed for less than 15 minutes all 3 times too! Long labors but fast deliveries :teehee Too bad my skin doesn't streatch and I always need a lot of stitches :grumpy

haha i always hear the nurses on the delivery shows saying "don't push with your face!" it took me forever to figure out what that meant!

make sure when you're pushing.. you feel it LOW.... if you feel like your head is going to pop off.. you're doing it wrong :lol

I believe I did that too with my first one, however I never blew a blood vessel in my eyes. It took me an hour and fifteen minutes to push her out. Then my son it took 15 minutes and I didn't need stiches with him. With my daughter I did. Sigh....I miss them being so young
