She's got Jupiter/Neptune/Chiron sitting right on her Ascendent. Jupiter there from what I read shows a quick and easy birth and
with Neppy there is shows drugs....well they topped me up with epidural stuff right before the delivery...like 10 minutes before...it was very quick.

Here is my brief birth story......

Melissa Dawn was born on Friday August 7th at 9:08 PM via induction. She weighs 6 pounds and is 19 inches in length.

I was called into the Labor and Delivery at 2 PM and waited around for the doctor, who was in the operating room till around 4. At 4:30, she ruptured my membrane and a fetal monitor was placed on the baby's head. Around 6ish they started a pitocin drip, by 730ish, intense contractions present and I then asked for an epidural. After 8ish I got an epidural and I was checked. I was told that I was 3 to 4 CM and 80 effaced.

The epidural kicked in and I was still able to feel my daughter move down the birtn canal and I was in pain. I got to a point where I wanted to push, so one of my support people called the nurse, who checked me 25 minutes after she check the first time and told me that the baby is right there and she could only feel an anterior lip.

She got me into pushing a few times and called the doctors into the room. The nurse told me 3 more sets of pushes - but I didn't need them cause the baby almost slid out of me - there was so much room. I thought I'd be feeling the ring of fire when she crowned and I was surprised that I didn't......I had a very minute tear and I felt relieved....

I thought the induction was hell, but after having the birth done and over with, I have never felt such a profound feeling of relieve and I don't want to go through that experience again. I'm 38 and my new daughter is my last child.

The past 9 months have been the extreme hardest on me. I felt like I paid my dues and I have a daughter now that I love to bits.....

Thank you all, for the congrats etc!!!!!!!
