Involuntary sounds?
I had originally planned for an unmedicated birth assuming I would go into labor spontaneously but ended up opting for an induction bc my baby was showing no signs of coming out at 41 weeks and 5 days. My induction ended up taking 39 hours and once I hit 7cm I asked for an epidural which FAILED. I was even restricted to the bed for two hours because even though it didn’t work I had still received an epidural and it was hospital policy (traumatizing tbh). I felt the ejection reflex and had the urge to push even though I had a cervical lip covering baby’s head. My daughter was sunny side up and I did not feel any contractions in my belly. I rewatched some videos and I just remember how crazy those (almost retching?) sounds were and how I didn’t feel in control of them. I was extremely hoarse after as I was pushing for almost 4 hours. Did that happen to anyone else or is this characteristic of back labor?
