[Franky91]

My first I had already been having contractions for 24 hours and was only 5 cm.so at 5 pm I was 5.  By 8 pm they had broken my water and I was still only 7 my daughter was Sunnyside up so I was having a really hard time dialating, I got on All fours and she flipped and I want from 7 to 10 in seconds.  And I know for a fact from what my family heard nurses saying, that if I didn't have my midwife the hospital would have given me a c section which obviously would have been unnecessary.  I had my son at home with a water birth.  I was contracting all day and by 7pm they started to really kick in, I called my midwife at 2 am, she came, checked me I was 8 and my son was born at 5:35.  He also started out Sunnyside up but that time I started trying to get home to flip right away lol.

I was induced because of my blood pressure being dangerously high and after 20 hours of HARD labor (the meds were causing my body to have what they called triple contractions) I was only dialated to a 7 so I had a c section babe was born 7 lbs 14 oz 20 inches long =)

[Franky91]

Would everyone say the pushing part is quick and easy? Thats the bit am conserned about lol

[crstl11]

I was induced and dialated to 4 after 19 hours and had a csection.

My water broke at midnight, I got to the hospital around 1am lol my boyfriend just had to take a shower! I was in labor for almost 24 hours, I started pushing at 9 pm than had to stop because the doctor was paged for an emergency c section, around 11:30 I began to push again, and my doctor was born at 11:40 pm, 6 lbs 12 oz!

Woke up in the middle of the night with diarrhea, then contractions started an hour later.  Was able to take a shower and stayed on the couch until 12:30pm when I went to the hospital.  Got admitted I was 4cm dilated.  Did not have any pain meds by choice.  Labor felt very long by that point, I was very tired and remember getting annoyed with everything.  I was so hungry but they would only give me water!  I also yelled at my mom and sister, which then made me cry, and I smashed my forehead on the bed rail and had a lump.  Pushing was the easiest part of the whole thing, 6 pushes in about 20 minutes and my daughter was born!  After that nothing mattered, I know I ended up with 2 stitches but don't recall feeling anything since I was so focused on my baby.  Total labor was about 15 hours.

Two very different experiences lol I think I think the quick unexpected birth to the long 12 hour one lol

I had my second daughter at home (unplanned)! Was laying my living room carpet and started getting contractions at 11pm rang the hospital at 1am coz they were every 4-5 mins and was told it was impossible to be in labour after only 2hrs of contractions at 1.20 after 3 pushes she was born on my bedroom floor. 2 days before my due date and the day I had moved into my house so everything was in boxes and was home alone with my 2yr old daughter! Was a very quick unexpected birth.

I was induced on my sons due date because I'm my size being small only I was not able to dilate passed a 5 so after 12 hours of being in labor I had to have a c section
