How did your labor go?

Wow how envious. On my first child, I never had morning sickness and I could say things were much better than the second one, though my dear stretch mark's everywhere. Right now I am pregrant with twins and it's a lot different. I have been sick since day 1 until now when i'm 5 months on the way. I suffered colds, frequent fever and morning sickness. I just hope this will be over soon. My tummy's always feeling sour so I have to eat and eat and eat. I believe I have quickly double my weight easily. I wonder how soon could I regain my previous statistics.

Not even a single stretchmark!!! You are so lucky. I thought I was self conscious wearing a bikini before, it's even more now! With my daughter I was in labor for 7 hours and she weighed 7 lb, 11 oz. Now I am having a boy and he seems even bigger than my daughter was and I still have 3 weeks left before I deliver!

wow you are very lucky. For my first I started having contractions when I was only 20 weeks along so I was put on bedrest and it wasn't fun. Very boring and I was going crazy. I was on shots to stop the contractions and ended up in the hospital about once a week. Then when my due date came she was too big and facing the wrong way so I had to have a c-section. She was 8lbs 2ozs. For my second I had bad pains in my stomach and in my leg and the doctors couldn't figure out what they were and said as long as its not harming the baby I had to deal with it. When I was 37 weeks along I dilated to 5 cms and the I asked the dr if I could go ahead and have her that day and she said yes. She was also by c-section. I was having alot of contractions so if they wouldn't of taken her that day I would of been at the hospital that night anyway. It had to be c-section since it was my second one and I was tired of switching drs. She was 7lbs 5ozs so she would of been huge if I would of went to 40 weeks. nice post.

I protest!!! That's not fair!!! Child 1: first three months morning sickness, stretch marks EVERYWHERE!! Only thing that was easy was his birth.. it went quickly. Water broke at 4:15 am, contractions started at 4:25 am 10 min apart. He was born at 6:09 am.... 8 lbs. 5 oz. Boy Child 2: only the second month I had morning sickness, he couldn't possibly make the stretch marks worse, but, my labor started at 5:45 pm on the 11th, 30 min apart,,, they broke my water at 1:50 the NEXT afternoon. He was born at 3:47 pm... 5 lbs. 13 oz.

You lucky woman !!!! I stayed sick for 6 months - lost weight instead of gained. When I did begin to gain I only gained 22 pounds. Due date was 8/24 - began having labor 8/14 - finally had her 9/12 !!!!! Now when I say labor - I don't mean a pain here and there - I mean labor! No wonder I only had one child !! Oh I had her natural as well.

first time i was very scared about pains but after deliver a sweet cute lit baby girl about 8 lbs i feel its very cool just one hr lit bit pains i was wonder? but my second one before 2 weeks of my due date and 8 hrs on & off pains. i went for shopping in middle of my purchases my water broke down i called 911 after 8 hrs i blessed a baby boy 8lbs 8oz . now my daughter is 26 months and my son is 4 months

when i was pregnant with my first baby, i had morning sickness for the first trimester, that i really wanted to stay in the bed, i cant explain what i really feel, so dizzy, i have some stretch marks on my stomach and legs but not that visible coz the color is light..i had a terrible labor that lasts for almost a day, on and off, the water bag is being cut, with lots of pain, my baby is 6lbs 5oz.. it's good to hear your history of labor, it's good for you not having too much pain and not having terrible labor..

I had morning sickness for the first 3 months. I gained 45 lbs. The doctor kept telling me that the baby was a boy and to expect him to be at least 8 1/2 lbs. I went to the hospital thinking my water had broke and after they checked me, I was told that it was a bladder spasm but was dilated to 3 cm so they admitted me. That was at 12:30 in the afternoon. I ended up having no labor pains, the nurse had to tell me when I was having contractions. I had no pain medication. They broke my water at 8:30. I talked through out the whole delivery. I had my GIRL at 9:21 that night and she weighed 6lbs4oz.

You are so the lucky pregnant one. With my pregnancy I had complications from day one. I was high risk because I was a gestational diabetic. LOL!! I also had horibble back labor but was able to deal with it and two on my pregnancies I had toxemia. here we go 1st pregnancy gest. diabetic. went into labor while sleeping and didn't know it woke up a water broke right away .. wasn't contracting at the time went to the hospital nurse told me that she wasn't going to check me after my doctor said that was what she wanted to happen over the phone to me because of me being a diabetic. So got into a pissing match with the nurse who was wrong my water was broken ..LOL!! She wasn't my nurse after that. I actually think she was sent home because she was going to go against what the doctor wanted and send me home. LOL!! got a lovely pitocin drip and settled into back labor and was in labor for about 30 minutes and ask then to check me and they said oh no honey you have probably another 24 hrs before you have the baby. I told them I was in a lot of pain and to check becuase I was schedule to have a epidural well guess what I was to far along for an epidural so I got a spinal block I loved that and they thought they were going to have to push for me LOL!! they were amazed that I was able to push the baby out with a spinal block 45 minutes of labor. 2nd gest diabetic epidural when able 45minutes also. 3rd gest diabetic toxemia went eclapmtic on the delivary table was burried in ice and was given 2 18 guage needle of magnesium sulfate straight into my viens. dr went to lunch after that and didn't answer page to see if i was allowed epidural and was told not to push when I was at a ten and to wait for the doctor to come back . I smacked t onurses heads together when grab them by the shirt and told them to get the er doctor to deliver I wasn't waiting. Er doctor delivered baby at one hour becuase I had to wait ...talk about not paying the obgyn and only paying the er doctor. baby was 8lb 3oz. I was not happy ... 4th one easiest prgnancy of my life gest diabetic. unfortunately my sugar kept hitting in the 50's so I had to eat ever 30 minutes it seemed got epidural and one push had my daughter entire labor 30 minutes. 5th one gest diabetic toxemia amnioscentisis blood work came back so bad they took her over a month early. pitocin water broke epidural 45 minutes in told them I was going to deliver nurse went to get doctor and my obgyn was in with another who was giving birth nurse came back in time to deliver mine. LOL! 55minutes. doctor cam in right after apologized . I knew she was in the other room. LOL!! I'm done no more for me the last pregnancy was really hard I ended up on bed rest for most of it. LOL!!

I only have one child and he's all I plan on having. I do not want no more kids. I had him when I was just about 8 months pregnant. I got morning sickness the very first month I was pregnant. and the morning sickness never went away. I actually went to the hospital with morning sickness when I went to have him. I was than in labor for 26 hours to be told that the baby was ready to come but I wasn't. They even tried enducing labor after my water tore. Yea tore, the doctors ended up having to finish breaking my water. But I would not dilate. His vital signs began to drop. And I had a doctor and a nurse argueing in the delivery room. The nurse telling the doctor that I needed a "c" section and the doctor yelling that he calls the shots and that hes waiting. The nurse than started disconnecting me from all the machines and started to wheel me down to the operating room. SHe told the doctor that if he wasn;t gone to do the operation that she would get a doctor that would. Theres was just so much drama. I did have a healthy baby boy who weighed 6 pounds even. The whole ordeal made me not want anymore kids though thats for sure

with my son it was super easy...i didn't even think i was in labor, I just had a back ache that lasted a few hours and my mom thought I better see the doctor since it was a week before my due date...good thing, too...because with an hour or two he was born!! my daughter was a different story...I was induced with her because I kept having contractions but not dilating & since my son was born so fast they didn't want to chance me having the baby on the way to the hospital! She was born within 45 minutes of them breaking my water!! Her shoulders got stuck though, so it was a little harder with her. I had epidurals with both, but I will never get one again...with my daughter the anethesiologist missed twice and by the time he was done it was too late, the baby was ready to come out and I could feel it all so it pretty much was natural labor! Both kids weighed under 7 lbs...which I think is a perfect baby size :)

The first one, I was really lucky. I had slight morning sickness, easy labor (3 hours), and voila! Baby Girl 6 lbs 12 oz. The second one... I developed an "allergy" to everything peanut. It sent me into pre-term labor 3 times due to the unfound allergy. The first time, I ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (I craved them!), the second, I ate a Snickers Icecream Bar (yum!)... We thought we had figured it out. So I stayed away from peanuts and peanut products... the third time, I ASKED a restaurant employee if they used peanut oil. He told me no. Less than 1/2 hour later... back to the hospital I went to stop the contractions. After that, everything went fine. The baby was a week late. Bingo! Baby Girl #2 - born 359 days after her sister - labor 2 hours, 6 lbs 5 oz. The third one was difficult. First of all, I was on "the shot." I got my shots religiously. 11 years after giving birth, I was now doing it again! It should have been much easier, but... labor 48 hours (that is not a misprint!) - Baby Girl #3, 7 lbs 9 oz... I told them it wasn't right - to weigh her again! Love them all!

I never had a hard time with my eldest child when I bore her. The labor was also easy. I delivered her through normal delivery. She was 6 pounds. With my second child, I almost didn't make it. I had a second degree severe eclampsia and my blood pressure registered from 160/120 to 220/180. They opened me up after 5 longs hours of labor because the baby had already deficated inside and might be losing oxygen. Before the operation, I had 5 shots 3 shots of magnesium sulfate to prevent convulsion and other complications of eclampsia.
