Labor story.
I really wanted natural delivery, I've read a lot about it and thought I was ready..
Nov 29: 4 am in the morning I woke up dreaming about having contractions and actually having them. I got excited and started timing them, they were 8 mins apart lasting 1 minute each.
We didn't rush to the hospital because I wanted to get there at the last minute.
We ate, we packed and at 3 pm we entered the birthing center. I got checked and I was 4 cm D and 90% E. Contractions got stronger. I was breathing and walking around with my husband and laying on the bed was the most uncomfortable position which I had to take from time to time to get checked .. So from 4 pm to 10 pm I was walking and breathing through my contractions and they got really really strong by 10 pm. (From 7 pm I wanted to push which was making contractions worse since I couldn't relax ) I got checked by different nurse and she said that I'm 4 cm dilated and I was shocked. I decided to take a hot bath to speed up the process and it was really hard to breathe through contractions at that time, but hot tub did help a bit. 1 hour later I got out of tub because i though my water broke and nurse said those scare words "4 cm dilated and it doesn't look like your water broke". At that point my contractions were so intense that I was screaming like crazy and it didn't actually helped I just didn't know what to do.. I was miserable and after 8 hours of painful contractions I felt like all my work was useless. I asked for an epidural and at 11.30 .. I was screaming next hour.. At 12.30 anesthesiologist came in and started telling me about side effects and I thought he's crazy telling me about headache when I was feeling like somebody is pulling my spine from my butt, so when he was asking questions I yelled Each answer "YES" "NO" wtf. "DO IT"!!! I got it at about 1.30 and epidural didn't really work and I was in pain so he added painkiller used for c-section and I still had a huge urge to push. From 2 to 3 I was trying not to push which was super uncomfortable and also painful.. At 2.30 I was 8 cm and at 3 pm doctor came to check me and after all was done he said that I can push now. They put me in right position for this and I pushed for 20 minutes and he was born at 2:35 on November 30th. I had tears and I felt everything doctor was doing down there.. They gave me some painkiller and the only thing I felt is dizziness but I still felt everything.
The first thing I said after everything was begin that I'll never have another baby.
I'm happy now having my beautiful baby and I'll probably want to have more babies but I hope this experience was the worst since I was in labor for 24 hours. At least now I know what it's really like to give birth.

well good luck with that Hun. this is my last and final time I'm glad I got to experience it naturally though
@mumof2, I was breathing for 8 hours, nobody there really helped me with this, the only thing they wanted to do is to give me meds.. Next time I'll try to prepare even better
hey u can. just remember to keep breathing. I never taught myself how to so I almost passed out lol but our bodies are made for it. I truly believe that because I really didn't think I could do it
@mumof2, congrats, good job! I hope I'll be able to do it too !
but not going to lie ladies it hurts like a mtf I had son with epidural so I was able to compare and I frankly don't know how I did it, but I did.
just had my baby girl naturally yesterday 2 hours of real labor and she was here I was super surprised.
I had my 1st by c section this I hope & pray will b vbac
@lil_bigmama, it's going to be your second baby, it'll be easier and faster than first labor, so you can do it. I guess it wasn't my lucky day, I even delivered with some other doctor , not the one I was supposed to deliver with (hospital didn't let her now I was there, still can't believe it) . My mom delivered both naturally and it took her 12 hours total with no tears. Breathing really helped I just let myself get upset because of the absence of any progress and this is when everything got worse.. You can do it, just practice breathing
I want 2 do all natural idk now
Ok guys labor story:
My water broke about 10:30 last night. I put on a pad and monitored the leaking for an hour and about 12 I went to the hospital. I was admitted an hour later and they put my IV in and and took blood all that good stuff lol. By this I was having some mild contractions. Around 4 they started my pitocin and the contractions got really strong and were coming about 2 mins apart I asked for pain meds and the nurse put something in my IV that made me woozy it worked for about 45 m...
Checked in at 4am february 1st.. started my pitocin drip at 5. I was 3cm dilated when i checked in. Things were progressing pretty slowly until my doctor broke my water at 7 am. I got my epidural done when i was 7 cm dilated, my nurse came in to check me and said baby was in plus 1 station. From there it went rather quickly, once my cervix was complete, she did practice pushes with me, i did 3 practice pushes with a few contractions and she said not to practice push anymore because baby was crow...
I have a low tolerance of pain so I’m screwed either way 😂 but I am going to get through a natural birth no matter what!
Quick question: Are the contractions or pushing the most painful?
I’ve felt contractions with my first and omg. But I didn’t experience the pushing. He was way to tiny.
Got to the hospital at 4 am to start my pitocin, well.. I was put on the drip at 430 am , and was 4cm dilated and 80 percent effaced, an hour later. The nurse came in to check me, hours later, and I was at 6 cm. I got the epidural at 6cm.. But it didn't work for me, no more than 20 minutes later, I couldn't take the pain, I was screaming and crying.. And felt everything.. most terrible pain ever, I called for my nurse to come in and she checked me again, said I was ready to deliver, babys head ...
She’s here!! Only pushed for about an hour!! I did it guys!! I got my VBAC!!
Will post pictures later!
no problem
