4 Hour Labor

Overall I would definitely describe my birth as pain-free but not intensity free. The feeling I got from labor was a surrendering feeling. I really had to focus on relaxing and just letting the contractions run their course instead of tensing and trying to fight them. My labor only ended up being 4 hours from the start of Pitocin to birth. I really feel that my mental preparation and visualizing my birth contributed to the speed of labor, which I was taught from the hipbirth the childbirth method. I am very pleased with my birth and use of the program.
