Things like when I started my pitocin, when the OB broke my water, when I got the epidural, what I ate, etc.</p> <p>Of course we stopped writing when things got serious around 3am, but then we jotted down what we could remember as soon as I got settled in to my postpartum room (and had a real meal and a nap!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-remember-your-birth-story#post-347831 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 16:47:44 +0000 stiffaknee 347831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm lucky, because my sister-in-law delivered LO...so that helps with some of the minor details (like how many contractions I pushed for) but for the most part, i remember everything (like how DH read life and style to me, because the epidural put me to sleep...or how when I held LO for the first time, I almost threw up on her (luckily, DH grabbed her and I threw up on the floor-I couldnt find my vomit sock). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-remember-your-birth-story#post-347827 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 16:43:48 +0000 mrskc 347827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was only 4 days ago and already my memory of it is fading quickly. I had to ask my DH for a lot of the details, but there were definitely parts of it that are clear in my memory. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-remember-your-birth-story#post-347821 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 16:42:08 +0000 lovehoneybee 347821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wrote it down in as much detail as I could as soon as I had a chance, and if anything was fuzzy I asked DH, my mom, MIL or FIL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-remember-your-birth-story#post-347813 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 16:36:41 +0000 matador84 347813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am always amazed at some of the detail in birth stories. My whole l and d experience was less than 3 hours AND med free and there is still so much I don't remember at all and have to ask DH about. </p>
