birth

what kind of birth did you have

With Felix i was completely natural with no drugs or anything which i REALLY regretted i didn't want him getting ANY chemicals into him this time i am an idiot who doesn't learn and i am doing it very similarly but i am having the gas...

what did you do/use? what is the best way?

i had an epidural (which they did to late and didnt work) and they gave me fentenol to get some sleep,which only lasts about an hour.... i was in labour at night lol, threw my whole body off!

[Antoinette]

i thought about using an epidural for birth but Felix's birth was terrible during but afterwards i was so proud that i managed to do it naturally

[xox.ilu.xox]

that is definately something to be proud of! my epidural didnt do anything so technically i guess it was natural?? LOL. hope baby girl comes soon

[Antoinette]

yep i agree. if it didn't work it definitely counts as natural

ooh yeah i hope she comes soon too hopefully i reach 200 posts before hand so that i can put pics up

Natural birth, drug free.

All of our children were born at home, so no medications.

Delaney was born C-Section because my ex had issues with her first birth...Delaney has an older brother from my ex-wife's first marraige. Confusing, I know. Anyway, there was an issue with his birth, thus Delaney was c-section.

Both our kids were c/s, so sorry, no experience with the whole natural vs drugs thing. Very "un-natural" for us.

Sit back I have a list .

#1- 2 weeks late, induced and 18 1/2 hours of hard labor w/epidural (ordered by the doc)

#2- 1 hour of labor, born at home on the couch my mom did most of the catching. No epidural.

#3 and 4- easy...I didn't give birth to them .

#5- Induced for fear of the same thing as #2, we live very far from the hospital. About 4 hours from pitocin to delivery and had an epi.

#6- stripped membranes early in the morning...and nothing....went to go to sit on the couch later that night and felt a gush (sad to say it took me a few to realise it ws my water that broke, I thought I pee'd myself) got to the hospital at 6 cm got an epi but didn't work, I deliverd about 15 minutes after the epi.

#7- similar to #6, except strep b positive and spent 2 days in the hospital cause we had no time to get anti-biotics in.

#8- full induction, and went nothing like the others, I was strep b positive again and to make sure I didn't have another hospital stay we induced, but I didn't go fast at all, went in at 6 in the morning and she was delivered well into the evening. I had an epi, that didn't work in one spot and I could feel every contraction in just that spot. It was bad...so bad I didn't realise that my baby had shot out of me...I basically delivered her without knowing it. The nurses were freaked out. They weren't sure how to label the delivery.
