Moms what was your labour like?

[Grace]

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

[Kfamr]

I'm very sorry for your losses Romance.

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

It was horrible for me!!! I was in labor for atleast 30 hours but in the end it was still amazing and well worth the pain and trouble.

30 HOURS!!!! WOW girl. I thought 21 was hard enough. You defiantely have my respect.

thank you.

[Catty1]

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.

17.5 lbs., that's 2 puonds more than Nathan weighs.

Among the heaviest babies recorded are a 10.2kg (22.5lb) boy born in Italy in 1955, and a 10.8kg (23.8lb) boy born in the US in 1879 but who died 11 hours later.

That's the size on a one year old! yikes!

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

Okay, so I wasn't 17lbs when I was born.

I WAS 9lb 10oz though...

Not sure what mom's labor was like, can't imagine it was a happy one, lol.

[DrKym]

I have 3 kids that survived and lost 5 boys,,,,,,,,,,, all my labors were easy, and I honestly don't think I pushed more than 15 minutes.



If I wasn't older than dirt (and tubal ligation LOL) would have more. Niki you will be fine!!!! Just kiss all the babies for me especially the new one

[carole]

Well it is 15 years since i had my last baby, but us women never ever forget our labours now do we ? lol, mine were completely different, my first was not natural and was induced, i found this to be particularly painful and not pleasant,I had spent a month in hospital prior due to placenta previa (sp) and toxemia,infact the whole experience was traumatic for both my son and I and one that brings me to tears easily even today,I do blame lack of hospital care and bad judgement on their part.I was never offered an epidural with either of my children, and with my first had forceps and then the ventouse cap tell you something funny my son kept putting both his hands over his ears, so even though the doc kept pushing them off, he kept putting them back, i just missed out on an emergency caesarian,NOTE WELL, this does not mean anyone else will have to go through a bad time if you are induced, i was just unlucky.

However on a brighter note, my last child, the treatment i received was excellent, the labour was quick,about six hours,less painful, only needed some gas, and the birth was so much better too.,so you wanted to know there you have it.

[critter crazy]

I didnt have any labor pains, I never realy felt anything, except for an aching in my back. After my water broke, I packed all my things woke up hubby, and we drove to the hospital, once we got there, they did an exam, relized my son was breech, and rushed me in for an Emergency C-Section. Next thing I know, my son was born, and I was very sleepy! Easy as Pie!
