Griffin
After many hours of labor and over two hours of pushing, my body was weak and exhausted. To avoid the possibility of a surgical birth, I agreed to a couple drops of Pitocin. Sure enough, it jumpstarted my contractions again, and after a couple cycles of pushing, the baby was crowning. A few more cycles, and I had little Griffin in my arms. Baby boy certainly made me work for it, though — all in all, I was in labor for 27 hours!
Paloma
Paloma was also born in a birthing center, but my labor couldn’t have been any different the second time around. I labored off and on for a couple days at home, before just making it to the birthing center in time. Though I planned for a water birth, I delivered Paloma on all fours in just three pushes.
Faith
