Both of my epidurals failed. I was ready to kill the entire anesthesiology department. I actually yelled at one point, "Do any of those fuckers know what they're doing?" And I'm not the east bit sorry for it.

So, some of you may have little bits of this already.

Oh, wow. A birth horror story that lasts 6-48 hours sounds bad. But one that lasts for most of your pregnancy sounds just awful. I'm so sorry that you had to experience all of that, but happy he was born healthy and good to go!
