Childbirth- Did you have a C-section or give birth naturally?

I had to have a C-section. I would not dialate. I guess my baby girl thought it might be too cold out there, and found that it was nice and warm inside my stomach! LOL

I had to have both of my children by C-Section. They are sixteen months apart. Both of the kids were over nine pounds, breech, and would not turn. I have never had one true contraction, nor felt any pain with childbirth until after delivering. I often wish I could have given birth naturally, at least once.

In the hospital they tried 3 times to get me to dialate. The last time they tried, the only thing it did was start my contractions and put me into 18 hours of very hard labor. After all that, I still hadn't dialated, not even 1/2 a cm! They wound up giving me a C-section after all. The hard labor was well worth trying though. Thanks!
