Interviewee: It was an experience.

Interviewer: Okay, can you explain more?

Interviewee: I didn’t go in because I was in labor, I went in because I couldn’t breathe, I had a temperature of 105 and of course it had passed on to my baby. I was supposed to get induced that morning, so when I went in I was sick and it was kind of hard at first because I wanted to have a water birth.
