Since my first child was born vaginally I assumed that this birth would happen the same way. Ha! He showed me, huh. ^_~
Joshua turned to a full breech position during labor which was realized by nurse when checking my dilation after laboring 13 hours w/o epidural. I was already at 8cm dilation and by the time they got the ultrasound machine for verification I was feeling the INTENSE need to push. Ugh! The bulging at my cervix was driving me insane. They administered spinal anesthetic and 20 minutes later he was born kicking and screaming... but beautiful! ^__^
