Unexpected Homebirth (Closed with Dots)

[hardbirth]

I start to panic a little waiting for the next contraction. I've been waiting to push all this time, but now that it's here, I'm worried that I won't be able to handle the pain. I didn't have to wait long. "Here comes a contraction...aaaaaahhhhhhh...." I take a deep breath and push, bearing down hard. I feel my ass opening up, but the pain is unbearable. I can feel it stretching further than it has ever before. I grab your hand to support me.
