We’ve all heard plenty of birth horror stories, but we rarely hear about how mom heals after the trauma. One Australian mom is sharing her birth story<\/a> in the hopes that her experience will help others \u201d\u201dand maybe make them laugh, too.<\/p>\n

Zoe George, an Australian mother of two, blogs at The Subtle Mummy<\/a>, where she is “as subtle as a brick to the face.” After making several references to the “broken vagina” she received when her son was born, she finally shared his birth story<\/a>. And woooooo boy, she does NOT hold back.<\/p>\n

George’s first child, a boy, was two weeks overdue and she was very anxious to get him out. She was induced and was trying to endure labor without pain medication, but after about 8 hours she decided to get an epidural. This request came after she “almost punched a midwife for chewing her gum\u00a0mid-contraction.” She described the feeling of getting an epidural, “It rushed through my body and I felt like I was having an orgasm,\u00a0a very long one. I went from\u00a0The Exorcist<\/i>\u00a0to\u00a0Little House on the Prairie<\/i>\u00a0in less than five minutes.” Yeah, it’s good stuff.<\/p>\n

Zoe knew it was time to start pushing because, as she said, she felt like “I needed to do the biggest dump of my life.” That’s when things got crazy. George’s son was stuck. The doctor gave her the option of a forceps delivery or an emergency c-section. George chose the former and remembers “the doctor leaning back, almost in a squat position, and pulling on those forceps that were around my baby\u2019s head.” George’s husband was “100% positive the babies head was going to rip off and the doctor would go flying back across the room.” LOL<\/p>\n
