xanthe (875 days ago) i had the vacume extractor, because my baby was having a hard time getting through the bones down there. i ended up getting a few stiches, not too bad. and fortunately my baby did not get a cone-head from it. she was just under 6 lbs at birth.
kickboxerbaby (875.7 days ago) My sister in law went throught this and it was down right horrible for her. Her progression was slow so they put her on patosin. Then the pain got really bad so they gave her an epi. They continued to check her for hours but she never progressed past 5 cm. So they had to do and emergency c -section. As she was laying there she realized she could see the reflection of her belly in the light above her. She started gagging and just as the doctors started there insicision one of the nurses turned the light. She says it was the most petrifying experience of her life and has vowed to never have any more children. I would definately discuss everything with doc when you do go into labor so that they don`t prolong your labor if they do need to do a c-section. Good luck.
mdbabyno1 (875.7 days ago) During labor they said I was very narrow because my LO was having a hard time coming out. I pushed for a total of 3 hours, in 1 hour increments before she finally got out. I though I was pushing as hard as I could but as soon as the dr said `this is the last time or we`ll have to get her out another way` I pushed and pushed and she was finally out.
heathert (875.7 days ago) WHen I had my daughter the Dr said I would not be able to deliver a bigger baby than her she was 6 lbs 10 oz. My 2nd was induced at 38 weeks due to size he did let me choose if I wanted a c section. Anyway he was 8 1/2 lbs. Pushed for ever and they suctioned him out. It was scary because they thought they may have to break his shoulder to deliver him. It did not happen thank goodness. Good luck.
JessicaB83 (875.7 days ago) I was told I was very narrow and my daughter was 8lbs 8ozs. Needless to say I had a c-section after 27hrs of labor. Dont let labor go past 8hrs without asking about a c-section. Recovery is not that bad I mean it hurts pretty bad the first day but Im up moving and almost back to normal in a few days. Plus you dont have to worry about the burning when you pee afterwards. I have had 2 c-sections and I will have my 3rd in 6 months and I lose weight quick and everything. The biggest advantage is if you have a little extra skin you get a tummy tuck at the same time. LOL.
