You're a lucky girl. I was in labor for 22 hours. Everyone estimated he'd weigh about 7 pounds based on the size of my belly. I did 20 of those hours without an epidural. Then they finally figured out he wasn't descending like he ought to and the baby began to show distress. There was a quick decision to do an emerency C-section. And as it turns out, he weighed 10 lbs, 7 ounces. They referred to him as "Hoss" in the nursery. I was just glad no one tried to make me have him the normal way. . . .
