He is by far my smallest baby (no wonder he came in only one push!) Labor was only 10hrs 10min long, but I believe it was my hardest labor yet. I had intensely sharp pains in my lower belly, down my butt and into my thighs. However, the epideral was amazing. It was so strong in fact that my legs were completely dead and I wasn't sure I was going to be able to push (or use the right muscles) because I couldn't feel a thing, unlike with my last 2 I could feel pressure so knew when they were getting ready to come. However, I guess I didn't have a problem because I pushed once and he came! The nurses and doctor were worried (even though at the time they didn't act like it at all, they were very calm and just said it was time for me to start pushing. They knew MUCH more than I did since I couldn't feel a thing) actually they wouldn't get everything ready in time because he was "right there" and they could see his head and hair very visably. The OB on call (not my OB, but one from the same practice) had to leave the hospital for some reason so another physican delivered Teagan (who isn't an OB). He was really nice and made sure I felt comfortable telling me that he had delivered babies before. I actually wasn't worried at all. The only time I was honestly worried was when I did push once he slipped out SO fast I thought the doctor wasn't going to catch him and did even slip a little in his hands, but he didn't.
