It seem like everyone always have a good experiences with waterbirth that why I want to try it so bad. @junebaby

I have twice. Wasn't that bad the first time. All total, it was took 3 or 4 hours for labor and pushing. I pushed for maybe 5 mins. If that. She almost beat the dr. The second time was extremely painful. From the time my water broke to the time I had her, it was 20 mins shy of 5 hours. Pushed 2 times, and she was out. She did beat the dr. The nurses and all that were running to my room from what I've been told.

@mommyofaking, that's what I wanted. my cousin had her last (7th).baby in the water and said it was her best birth experience yet.

oh yes i got stitches with my second baby lord it was soo bad I thought I was giving birth again! crazy part is that with my oldest & kaine I didn't get an epidural & I didn't tear but with my second baby I did tear 😱

I haven't had my baby yet but my plan is waterbirth (all natural)

@january10th, that's the worst. especially with stitches.

@junebaby yes she was!! I hated having to poo after my babies cause it hurt so bad lol

My great granny delivered babies and had nine of her own at home. She told my mom it was no worse than having a hard poo. She was a tough lady. lol

yes, although some doctors get c section happy and won't let you go on for that long.

And even though labor goes that long its normal?

I have twice. it is the most painful thing I have ever in my life felt.

they don't tend to do a lot of episiotomys anymore though I've noticed.

its where they cut you. I was cut with my first and tore with my second but with my last two I didn't tear at all. My girls were 2&3 hour labors. Boys were 18&29;. If I had a midwife near where I lived I would have this baby naturally at home.

my back was in constant pain that got worse with each contraction. There was no relief not even between contractions it was constant horrible pain. The pain of my back was worse then any contraction. If I don't have back labor it woulda been a breeze (even being 4 days long)

@junebaby, what is episiotomy? And thanks for the honesty I wanna try but if it gets really bad I will just have to do the epidural again

I had epidurals with my others.

I have had one natural and it was terrible. I pushed for three hours and labored for 29. Epidural didn't work with him. I felt my episiotomy and the pressure was terrible. Not trying to scare you cause each labor is different.

@nieshabaldwin23, yeah thats what i wanna do go to the dr just get checked when i start having contractions then go home and just let nature take its course 😁

@californiahaley, ooh that is a long time and what do you mean back labor?

It's not tht bad I've done it twice and plan on it this time as well I try and take all the pain I can while at home because it's more comfy and u can move around I literally go in at the last min when it's time to push

I did. Total labor was 4 days. 36 hours active labor. 2.5 hours pushing. I was in tons of pain. Back labor was the worst but I'd do it all again the same way
