I felt exposed, I felt vulnerable. I didn't have an epidural, so I was like grabbing it onto things and I hadn't learned, like the yoga ball... and anyway, what always I look back on that time, you would think as a woman you would feel powerful, right, you would feel empowered and you would feel like you had just done this amazing thing, and especially since everyone who was in the room with us, obviously all the doctors and the nurses, I mean after Watson was born, they were like crying. And yeah, I just felt so shamed and so embarrassed, and I always look back on that time.
