Mary, that's so funny, because in many ways, every birth story is the same--but you're right, we love to read them, hear them told and find the little bits and pieces that make them so different. Just the other day when I was at the pool with the kids, a group of women told, for no less than 65 minutes, their birth stories--and this group had teen age kids. The stories are def. embedded in your skin as much as in your mind. The topic of pain is a good one...clearly that woman has a thresh-hold even she didn't realize existed.

I think having a premature birth must be terribly unsettling, but I am ashamed to say that when I had my second I was praying she'd be at least two weeks ahead of time. It was hot and I was so overwhelmingly miserable that I was desperate to get it over with. What fascinates me is how every woman's story is completely different. I still remember meeting a woman at a party who'd just had her first baby. "Was it rough?" I asked her, pregnant with my second and remembering the pain of my first labor. Her answer? "Not especially." (Yes, really!) She'd gone in to have a Casearean and before they could get her prepared, the baby had begun to come out, feet first, causing her (and I quote verbatim) "no more pain than a bad period." And she claimed she was the first to go for the aspirin when she had a headache, too... I love birth stories, Kathy, so I happily read yours.
