How was your labour and delivery?!

Question

Mine was so easy i wonder if i just got really lucky or if its just not as bad as everyone makes it seem😂

Answer

21 hours for my unmedicated, natural birth. It sucked during but I expected and embraced the pain because I got the ultimate prize at the end!💜

Answer

Mine was a long one but easy. I didn’t feel hardly any pain and they had to wake me up from a nap to tell me it was time to push.

Answer

29 hours of labor. They had to redo the epidural 3 times since it wore off. When it finally came time to deliver her again t wasn’t bad at all. What was bad is being stuck at 9 cm and the epidural wearing off. I was stuck at 9cm for 7 hours.

Answer

This one was short and super intense!

Answer

My water broke on it's own but my labor didn't progress on it's own. I was given pitocin at 4cm. I was doing well until 5 asked for an epidural because they would not let me move around during labor. I jumped from 5cm to 7 in the time it took the anesthesiologist to come in and I was going through transition. I was extremely frustrated to been limited to my bed but once I got the epidural I was fine. From pitocin to delivery was about 6 hours. I pushed for 40 minutes. It wasn't bad but not what I pictured because of the pitocin.

Answer

Mine wasn’t awful, definitely painful but it went fast and I got stadol (I think that’s what it’s called) to help take off the edge of my contractions. The worst part was pushing!

Answer

Every labor is different. My first was over 24 hours but contractions weren’t super terrible. Got to the hospital at 10 cm and got an epidural and it was smooth after that. 
Baby number two I got to the hospital at a 10 and got a spinal block. Labor was 3 hours and was so perfect and peaceful. Contractions were never bad and I only had the dr in the room while pushing 
Number 3 was hell. I was dilated to a 6 for weeks before labor and was still at a 6 when I was in hard labor. Contractions were terrible. I was screaming and crying and literally thought I was gonna die. Couldn’t get pain meds bc they broke my water and I went from a 6 to a 10 in minutes. 
This last baby I was also dilated to a 6 before labor and dr wanted to induce bc of blood pressure. They tried to induce by breaking water first and my labor was a whole 53 minutes and so terrible. She was only 6 lbs but the pushing and crowning were unbearable. My last two deliveries made me never want children again

Answer

Mine was very painful. Fast, but super painful. I wonder if my endometriosis made it worse, because I was feeling more pain in the side where my endo is. Also, my epidural failed and they didn’t have time to redo it.
