Moms what was your labour like?

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.

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!
