It was horrible for me!!! I was in labor for atleast 30 hours and ending up losing alot of blood, got dehyrdated. Had 2 epidorals, had to have my son sucked out by that suction thing ( forget whats it called). ending up with a second degree rip and needed alot of stitches. All I know is I pushed like CRAZY for a diet soda!! I couldnt drink until the baby was out and I was craving a diet coke so bad, the docs and nursing were saying Push for a soda, push for a soda! but in the end it was still amazing and well worth the pain and trouble.

Cassiesmom, my water was leaking and I didn't even know it, found out at a scheduled checkup and I was sent straight to the hospital. When I asked why they said this baby will be born today, so yes things are very different.

Being induced labor was relatively quick but painful. Epidural was a godsend. Pushing was awful, 2 and 1/2 hours until vacuum forceps (the suction thing) helped her out. That was in June and I am still in therapy for my hip but as stated by angelbow20 it was so worth it.

Leslie, you are so lucky you enjoyed it! I do hear the 2nd is easier so as long as I am not induced I will try natural - in a hospital, if I do end up wanting an epidural!!

I'm wondering why, since this subject seems to raise such sad memories, you even posted in this topic?

I'm very sorry for your losses Romance.

All of you, this bickering on PT needs to stop.

[Romance]

thank you.

Romance - my mistake. Everyone here seemed to be posting about the children they had which survived; I assumed you had as well.

I will delete my posts(except for this one).

I guess you did feel you should post all your babies, by rights.

Sorry, hon.
