Had my little girl on march 17th 2008. Was in labor for about 12 hours. Pushed for 45. Altho when I was pushing her heart rate kept dipping way down (to low 80s) so they had to use forceps to help her out. Doctor said that even without his assistance she would of been out within the next couple minutes but they had to get her out then in case something was wrong. Turns out it was the cord was beside her neck and when I pushed it put pressure on it. I tore a bit and it took about 3 weeks for the feeling like I got kicked in the ass really hard to go away. At 25 days my daughter was taken to hospital by ambulance and dianogised with wolf parkinson white syndrome Her little heart was beating at over 100 times more a minute then it should. Was the worst feeling ever hearing her crying in the back of the ambulance and then at the hospital and not being able to do anything about it. I am looking for other parents whos children have this..there is no groups or anything out there for it that I have found.
I cant wait to have another, need to have the money first though. I definately don't miss being pregnant like manypeople said I would..but I do miss being in labor.. for some odd reason. I think its because of the excitment of knowing its almost there. Im hoping next time to go a bit longer without the epidural..lying in bed for 7 hours sucked. The nurse had pushed it on me though and I was to tired to care and just went with it.
