I was officially
in labor land and things got really fuzzy after that.
I must have been in triage but, honestly I had
entered labor land because this is where it all starts to get blurry.
This must be why I was in such denial that I was in labor until right at the end, because I partly expected that mental fog feeling
of labor land to come over me if it was real labor.
I was so much more «present» for this birth than my first water birth, which was also swift and peaceful, however, I must have mentally escaped to «
labor land» with my first.
plus she keeps directing her questions to the mom, who at this point really just wants to be off in «
labor land.»
