Labor stories??

Question

For moms who've been in labor can you take the time to share your story on how it started and when you knew it was time? FTM and just curious

Answer

With my son, my water broke at exactly 41 weeks. We went to the hospital, and they determined my contractions were irregular, and recommended pitocin to regulate and accelerate labor. The contractions from pitocin are terrible, and I ended up asked for an epidural as soon as I could. My son was born about 12 after my water broke, at 7lbs 11 oz 21 1/2 inches long. With my daughter, my water broke on her due date, and contractions were hard and fast immediately. By the time I got to the hospital, I was already 5 cm dilated, and I asked for an epidural. I delivered about an hour later, laboring for under 5 hours.

Answer

First son I had false labor for a week and then they induced me at 38 weeks, epidural, 8 hours of labor, 1 hour pushing, boom healthy baby boy. 
Second son I had glass labor for 3 weeks and my water broke at 37+6. Went into hospital and contractions hadn't started after 2 hours so they gave me pitocin (around 12:30) he was born at 9 absolutely perfect and healthy. 
Boy 3 will be here around February 13th!

Answer

Was overdue so they wanted to induce me at 745 in the morning. The night before I was already having really contractions. So my body was already ready to go. They started me on the pitocin, everything was going great contractions weren't too bad. Then they told me I was 5 cm and it was time to get my epidural. 2 hours later they told me I was ready to push! I was shocked, didn't feel not one contraction. Total of 9 hours went by very fast and loved every moment.

Answer

My doctor forgot they moved my due date so he kept pressuring me to get induced. I was a couple days from being 40 weeks. I went home and tried self inducing by having sex, walking, taking certain supplements, adjustments from my chiropractor, and then finally drinking castor oil. After drinking that I had horrible diarrhea 5 hours later, lost my plug in the Walmart bathroom, and started contractions 30 minutes later, on the way home. Labored at home for 3 hours and went to the hospital. I was only 3 cm and labored for 17 more hours. At the 14 hour mark I got an epidural from not progressing. An hour later I was ready to push. My daughter was sunny side up and took 2 hours to push out. My epidural wore off by then. Had my daughter after 20 hours. :) second daughter I was 2 days away from 41 weeks. I ate a lot of cayenne pepper with my food at lunch and started labor 2 hours later. Labored at home for 9 hours, went to the hospital, only 3 cm, so I got an epidural 2 hours later and right when I got the epidural, my daughter was crowning. Two pushes later she was out. 12 hour labor for #2.
