8 lbs is an ideal size for a baby, 10lbs is big. epidurals are magical. I still get twinges where my epidural was inserted (4 years after labor) but it was worth no pain...and epidurals can be applied in different amounts, when given the right dosage, you can feel the pushing and the need to push, just the pain isn't overwhelming.
eating your placenta gives you a ton of good hormones and has a lot of good benefits...you're not eating baby poop.
they break water with a tool, not the fingers (or at least it shouldn't be with the fingers). the tool looks like a foot long plastic thin knitting needle.
