#1 - induced..terrible contractions..epidural...ventouse assissted birth. #2 - natural labor..natural birth, no drugs at all. I would take my natural birth and labor any day over the awful pitocin induced contractions.

the induction definately seemed more painful. but i think it was just because it happened so fast. my natural labor was 22 hours and my iduction was less than 3

much more painful with my induction... but I think part of the problem is that you are not allowed to get out of bed at all, and for me contractions are so much more painful when laying down confined to a bed. With my second (natural onset) I was waiting for the point where I couldn`t walk/talk through contractions which didn`t ever come... so we just went in anyways and I was 9cm! LOL, MUCH LESS painful, and much MORE freedom to move about.

First was natural onset, 2nd was induced only with cervidel...a LOT more intense and difficult but still ok. This last one was an induction only with pitocin and it was hands down the most excruciatingly painful experience EVER. I had them all naturally, no epidural or anything but that last one was insanely difficult and just about uncontrollable. Theres a huge difference between cervidil inductions and pitocin induction. I will NEVER have pitocin again...did I make that part clear lol?! I guess its completely different if youre having an epi though..

My induced labor was much less painful because doc let me have my epi as soon as I got uncomfy!

my first was all natural and it was really long and very painful. My second I was induced and it was alot shorter but still very painful. I would say they were about the same on the pain scale. Just with being induced, it didn`t take forever for everything to really kick in to gear.

  2. I`m interesed in getting an innotab for my kids. Are the extra downloads pricey? How is the product as a whole?
  3. Thought they were fixing the problem with the profiles? Mine is now starting to disappear and most of my friends profiles are gone. Is it getting fixed or what because its more than a joke at the moment. Maybe its the ads causing the problems because its the only thing that seems to stay when the profiles disappear.

  5. Should I buy my sister a Belly Bandit for her shower? She said that is what she wanted when I asked. I just have a hard time spending that much money on some thing she might niot like. Especially because it was me who put the dumb :) idea in her head!! I bought and used one for three out of my four and loved it...but is it for everyone? Or should I throw down the money to something more practical?

  8. Extension of last Valentine question..I should clarify that we are having V-day dinner tomorrow alone but still just the fact that he bought our gifts at the same time at the same place bugs the s-it out of me. He knows I like plants and I`m pretty sure he went to a nice nursey and got me one but the fact is he told me he got his mom a small little plant. OMG I fee like I total b-tch but I feel like telling him I know what he probably got me and I do not want anything that you are giving your mom!! But then he wopuld know I snooped and saw where he went on our checking account.
  9. O.k I know this is a off the wall question..Is it weird and selfish of me to be annoyed that my husband has is giving his mom a Vanetine gift and card tonight when she comes over and wants to give me mine too today? I know I`m probably being sensitive and I feel bad that I made the comment `if you give me the same thing as your mom I`m gonna cry`. He said I should`nt ruin the surprise and I told him I was sorry but I just wanted our Valentines seperate because everything includes his family and it`s a day for lovers. Am I....
