Hah, this is funny. Although I do have to say I think women should definitely wear a BF covering in public unless you are going to be around only women. Breasts may be made for feeding babies but they are still sexual objects to men and you can't change that.

Sylvia's Birth Story
I woke up the morning of June 28 around 6am feeling contractions. They weren't super painful, more like period cramps but I could tell they were contractions (unlike Noah's where I didn't feel them at all until an hour before he was born). I timed them and they seemed to be pretty close together (3-5mins apart) but the pain was only lasting for 15 seconds...not the 30-60 seconds they say in all the baby books. I decided just to keep an eye on it.
It was still happening at around 9am so I texted Alissa and Alissa if she thought I should go in. I told her I might just wait until my water broke because with Noah I was so frustrated because I had no idea when I should actually go in to the hospital. She told me that some people's water doesn't break until right at the very end and that I should just call the doc and see what she thought. I called around 9:30 and they told me to come into the hospital to get checked out. I let all the parents know I was heading in and that they could come pick up their kids now or wait to hear whether or not I was actually going to be having a baby that day! Amanda came over to stay with the kids (it was just Nixon and Addie that day) and Noah. Nathan and I left for the hospital around 10:30am.
We got to the hospital at 11 and went to the triage room. They checked me and I was 8 or 9cm I think. They were surprised I wasn't acting like I was in more pain.They put an IV in because I was a little dehydrated and then sent me to a room. My doctor got there and then we were good to go. It all happened so fast...I was pretty shocked at how fast things happened and it is all a blur of like 5 minutes. She broke my water and then like 3 contractions later Nathan was like "look look!" and the doctor was handing me our beautiful, perfect baby girl.
Sylvia Joyce was born 6.28.12 at 12:03pm. She was 8lb 2oz and 22 inches long. I did not think it was possible for a birth to get any easier than Noah's birth, but it was!
I felt the contractions earlier than I did with Noah, but all of the contractions were less intense than with Noah. With him they actually felt like they lasted 30-60 seconds...this time they were all really short bursts of pain. One of the nurse kept saying things like "you must be a really good person" or "you must have a great karma" because she was so amazed at how not that much in pain I was. It was nothing I did, God just blessed me with a high pain tolerance/super easy labors! That's a major bonus because we want 7 kids :)
FYI: Stir ups are amazing and I highly recommend using them. Super effective. Maximum efficiency!
