rough times

I went into labor with my son on sept 11 2007 he was 8lbs 11oz. now i did have a few problems when i got in there it took forever for my contractions to start they gave me all different types of medications to help but nothing seem to be working then they decided to check and see if i was progressing in my labor and they waited about 4 hours in between the time and i never did show and improvments so they decided to give mea c section and thats when they found out that my baby was just stuck there was nothing wrong with him and that made my world a whole lot better to know that my little boy was alright.

different than expected

when I was pregnant, I was so excited that I nearly jumped for joy. O was eighteen at the time ( I'm nineteen now) and I'd just got engaged. Throught the months I got all the regular signs (Morning sickness, saggier breasts, ect) but my labor was totaly unexpected. I was at 43 and I felt something give. my water broke, but only a bit tricked out and I wasn't experencing contractions. I figured it was a false alarm, so I dismised it as nothing. soon after I felt the need to really go to the washroom. with a rather rude noise (For those that hadn't guessed it) the baby's head popped out of my rear! I quickly phoned my midwife and then continued trying to get the baby out. It got stuck halfway through and we were forced to use vasoline as a lubericant. When it was all over i realized that it didn't hurt as much as I expected it to. but it just goes to show, almost anything can happen when your pregnant.

My 43 Hour Labor

My labor pains started three days before my due date after my OB appintment. While I was there, the doctoer had "swept the membranes," which is really when she sticks her finger in the cervix and loosens the placenta from the uterus. Ewww, I know. So anyway, I started having small contractions that evening. This was my first baby, so I was super excited, I called my DH and had him come home from work and everything. The contractions were about 2 minuted apart, but not very strong, but I went to the hospital anyway/ They checked me and I was only two centimeters, and they said it was false labor and to go home and rest. Reluctantly, I went home. The next morning when I woke up, the contractions were still there, just weaker, and I was so upset. I did not want to have to start all over again. So I called my friend who is a Midwife, and she came and checked me, and it was still the same. She said I could take Castor oil to speed things up, but that it would obviously make me go to the bathroom a lot. So I took Castor oil,, and it definately got everything rolling, but I was in the bathroom for about three hours continuously (you really cant control it when you take castol oil). Anyway, by that night, I was in complete agony, as I hadnt taken anythign for pain, and I went back to the hospital for them to say the same thing. I was completely pissed that they were sending me home again, and I made them give me something to help me sleep. So I got home, and took the sleepy medicine, and it really didnt help much, because I was awake all night, just drugged up felling, like a dream. DH was really great, he rubbed my back all night. Anyway, at about 6 am I got up and I really felt like I was going to die, and I went to the hospital again and demanded to see my doctor, so in she came, and hooked up the montiors and checked me and I was 6 cm. I was soooo excited I almost jumped off the table. They admitted me and broke my water, which still hadnt broke, and that really sped everything up. I got the epidural about an hour later, although I really did want to do it all naturally, but I had been in labor for so long and I was soo tired that I wasnt sure if I would be able to do it. Anyway, after I got the epidural, the doctor told me DH and mom to go home and eat something, that it would be a while. They left, and about 1 hour later, I started feeling a lot of pressure so I called the nurse in and she checking me and I was 9 cm!! So I had to call them up really quick so they could come back and by the time they arrived I was ready to push. DH was holding my one leg and on the first push, he ran to the bathroom and threw up. anyway, so my mom took his place holding the leg and I oushed for about 20 mintues until my DD Juliana was born, 6 lbs 14 oz. I had been in labor for 43 hours. Looking back on it, I cant beleive I did that.
