I was induced. My epidural didn't work. 12 hours of pitocin Contractions and less than 30 minuets of pushing my baby girl was born. It was extreamlu painful but I found recovery from such a bad tear was way worse than the labor or delivery itself.
With my first I ended up using the nubane in my iv I only took one dose and it wasn't as bad as I expected. With my second I went all natural. I do recommend using the tub if your hospital has them in the delivery rooms. It helped relax me with both of mine so that I dialated very quickly in the 15 mins they allowed me in it :) my nurse with my first had me breath in through my nose and out through my mouth to help me stay calm through the contractions and it actually helped me. Good luck!
Ty for telling your storys...i am super afraid... My due is for 15days but i am open one finger and have a little pain.. Ill go all natural.. uff
I had natural birth with both of my kids and second was good one lol..got my mambrane sweep done around 12 and started have cramps straight away thought it not going to lost long and will go away but pain was getting worse so instead of heading home I started shopping for my huby as he had to go out of country. ..came home around 4 and started packing his staff and paint was still there I told my huby I think these are real ones I might be having baby tomorrow as my labour was lonh first time around so I went to hospital at 8 and had contractions all night had my baby 7am only used gas and air for five before hsving baby and two hours after as they stiched me two hour lol....I think stitches was more painful then actual labour for took them hour as my midwife was telling the new midwife how to stich...not going to let it happen again. ...
I have two birth stories in my journal entries. My first is a natural hospital birth, and my second is a natural home water birth.
I had one only gas and air towards the end the pain wasn't half as bad as I fault it was going to be. I heard some where be for I went into labour that contraction hormones like it to be Carmen quiet and dark so felt funny at 8am so I cleaned the flat. Then just read with the light dimmed rang the midwife at 12 said I think I'm in laubor got in bath started having very quick contractions midwife turned up said I was 6cm rang other half went to a midwife lead birthing center that was at 2pm. Got naked told everyone to leave me alone listerned to my body had my boy at 6.01pm x
