North York General Hospital

I wanted to give a little bit of info on my experience of giving birth here in Toronto. I did complain a lot about having to be all the way out in Toronto for my first time giving birth. I had many fears but I must say that I would do it again in a heartbeat! I think I had the best experience one can have in the labour and delivery process. I went through approx. 20 hrs of labour, 20 minutes of pushing, and I did it all naturally! The nurses were way impressed as I guess it is very rare that one goes without the epidural. I didn't even tear and the recovery process has been speedy. I even got to sit in a fancy jacuzzi tub during labour too (I wouldn't have seen that in Raymond)! I'm thinking of flying out here to have my next baby.
