13-2-2011 - ? Questions ?

My mood while writing this blog:
ok

Ok ladies, i was just wondering if you could help me out, with my first labour my water broke, so they had to induce me, which was HORRIBLE, my contractions were unbearable, so i got the epidural and it only helped for a few hours and then the pain was back and WORSE! I was in labour for almost 22hrs and was almost screaming in pain, they had the pitocin as strong as it can be given :( I wouldnt wish that kind of pain on anyone, anyways I dialated to 8cm and then they realized my daughter's head was sideways and that I would need a C-section cuz she wasnt coming down enough:( So anyways I am able to try for a vbac this time around and I am going to try to go as natural as possible, so I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice on how to have a more natural labour and faster and easier, any opinions r appreciated, cuz im terrified to be in pain like that again.. and also I dont want an epidural so if I need anything, do you have any recomendations on wat to take, or use to help with labour, and please tell me how it made you feel, or wat kind of effect it had on you if it is a drug, or gas, massage, bath or just anything? Thankyou so much!!

i have had two natural and two c-sections and all were different. If i could give you a suggestion for natural labour it would be the shower, i found the warm water on my back to be really good and as for drugs i had pethadine and it took the edge off my pain and helped me focus. You will do fine second time round you know how your body deals with it and you will know what to do , the first time is going into the unknown.

Sorry I dont have much experience with this as Lily was an emerg c section. i have heard that getting induced makes things much more painful. So fingers crossed that you dont need to be induced this time. best of luck :)

I didn't deliver naturally, I never went into labor at all. We picked a day, and I had a C Section, and got to hold my baby about and hour after checking in... So I don't have a lot of experience to answer with.... But, up until I found out I was having a c section, I was preparing for an all natural birth... I was told that your nerves play a ton in the process. If you are scared, nervous, anxious, all of that can make things worse. So, relaxation (ha ha yeah right!) is the best thing from what they said.... I had a spinal rather than an epidural. I'm not 100% sure of the difference but I know I was numb from the waist down but it didn't last too long. I was getting up out of bed and into a wheel chair to go to the NICU within 3 hours after my baby was born.
