Perfect pregnancy followed by pure hell: 39 hours of labor, 3 hours of pushing (after my son's heart rate had been decelerating for 12+ hours), and a ""non-emergent"" c-section which occurred 1.5 hours after my pushing. My son was not breathing and had to be resuscitated. He spent 8 days in the NICU and is suffering from developmental delays (he is now 2 years old). I will let you draw your own conclusions.
