Psychology of Dilation

Okay - there has just got to be something psychological about dilation.

On the one side you have Sarah - someone who is blatantly open in many ways about... almost everything - who walks around 4cm dilated for weeks.

On the other you have me who can barely get to 4cm dilated during active labor/transition unless you DRUG me. THEN, once drugged, I immediately relax and deliver babies ten minutes later whether it's a good idea or not.

The one push and out didn't seem so impressive until I saw the size of "little" Max. Good work.
