Did you need forceps/vacuum?

Question

Did you need forceps or a vacuum during labor?

Answer

Yes they used a vontuse with me. My contractions slowed down so much that with every push baby would move back up again!
They said vontuse or picoten and I chose vontuse because I didn't want drugs and my midwife had told me earlier that half of those getting induced end up having a c-section and I wanted to try and avoid that.

Answer

I had a failed forceps attempt & had to get an urgent c-section to deliver baby

Answer

No. My doctor would not let me push until baby was all the way down the birth canal and I was crowning. Which was fine because I had the epidural and couldn't feel a thing. I'm glad she made me wait. I only pushed for 1-2 minutes and she was out.

Answer

I was only pushing for 30 minutes and then my sweet baby boy came to this world.  I did however have to have synthetic oxytocin as my contractions were 5-7 minutes apart and lasting 1 1/2-2 minutes.  That helped to bring them closer together and I think helped a lot with delivery all together.
