im kinda wiggin' out here....
If u had a positive birth story especially if u went into labor naturally PLEASE SHARE YOUR STORY! I am not trying to be rude in any way but 90% of these birth stories I am hearing sound horrible and as a ftm who is getting close to the end (35+5) im starting to get really freaked out. I keep hearing about these inductions that are super painfull or that failed or these labors that end in c section or epidural that don't take.... and while I realize these are real possibilities for me as well, I would really appreciate some nice birth stories as im sure other ftm's would too! If you had a positive experience, PLEASE SHARE!

my son (4yrs ago) thought i had to poop..so I keep going to the bathroom..then stated getting contractions(strong period cramps) well went the hospital was a 9cm and had him..no time for drugs
and my daughter (1month tmrw) i went to my Dr. appointment and she recommend inducment since i was 40wks and had such a fast labor w/my first she didn't wanna chance me going into labor w/her anywhere but the hospital. so i went next door to the hospital and she put this gel in me and an hr later she came to check me and saw i was contracting (i couldn't feel) next thing you know it i have that pressure down there but also felt like i had pee so bad.like as if i were holding it all day it made my stomach hurt
instead of the crampy feeling.
nurse came a check me and i was at 5 the felt liquid gush..it wasn't water it was blood.. a few minutes later the nurse came back.. check and i was at 8.. 10 minutes later had my baby..no drugs-
Everyone else..... really only 2 people on here have had a positive birth experience? Oh no!
I was in labor roughly 9 hours start to finish, went into labor 3ish in the morning, water broke 5ish, went to the hospital about 11ish and my son was born at 12:21. I wasn't even fully checked into the hospital and had just gotten a room lol.
It was a completely unmedicated, natural birth, no tears no problems. My son did get stuck at the shoulders because his arm was up but that just took a couple of extra pushes and he was out.
@missq_1sttimemommy2b lol thanks for trying to spare me! Oh and I gotta tell ya, my 108646 stretch marks make me very aware im sacrificing my body for this little one... lol
@excitedforoctober I actually remember your story as one of the good/ not scary ones in that 10% I mentioned . :-) Thank you for sharing again !
@happymommyof2 awesome story, I hope mine turns out like that! Thank you so much for sharing!
@honestlyhopeful that is such a great story! Thank u so much for sharing it! So did the Dr make it in time? I would love to be the first one to touch my little girl!
@littlefae OMG your story is my dream! I want so bad for my little one to come just like yours Did! Im so happy to hear your story thank you so much for replying!
The key is education and relaxation. Know how your body works, know that anything is possible but staying relaxed is the kay. While at home I was able to do my own thing I was able to do what I wanted to stay comfortable and relaxed.
So, I would say stay at home as long as possible and trust your insticts. You don't have to rush to the hospital if your water breaks at home. Infection isn't a factor for the first 24 to 48 hours as long as you're not sticking anything up into your vagina.
Good luck momma and sending easy labor dust your way!
@314babymama1120 yes the doctor got there in time! Lol ask your doc about you being the first to touch and hold her (: its an amazing experience!
@stbmilitarybrat your story sounds wonderful too. Did u do anything to help prevent major tearing.
@proudmommy8789 that doesn't sound too bad either! Im starting to feel better about it all Thank You!
@fwee you know my sister in law said the same thing about taking a c section over vaginal birth! Lol thank you for sharing how even a not as planned birth can be a good experience!
7:33 am they broke my water after I had spent 10 hours faking the monitor out having contractions... I faked contractions so good that I actually started dilating? LOL 39 weeks 1 day had been in pre labor for almost a month!! I got fed up so I just did the craziest thing I could think of! The first 5 hours of labor were completely unmedicated, but I only got to 4 cm completely softened, so I asked for IV drugs to take the edge off, about an hour later still at a 4 and the pain was unbearable so I asked for the epideral! Best thing I ever did! A ton of my family and friends were in and out of my room allllll day long, it was like a huge party in labor and delivery! We all pretty much celebrated while I sat there not being able to feel my legs, leaking water every where, just waiting for it to be baby time! I was starving my ass off cuz I hadn't eaten since 9 the night before! But I was having a blast. About 8pm rolls around and Im completely ready to go, I quit my epideral about 30 minutes before then just to make sure I could feel enough to push, which was a good idea cuz when I first started pushing nothing was happening I was just pushing with my face! about 15 minutes into pushing, my epideral started wearing off and wearing off VERY fast! I could feel allllll sorts of pressure and stretching and it felt like I had to poop sooooooooooooooooo bad I swear I was going to the ENTIRE time I was pushing... never did tho!!! about 2 hours goes by and he is STILL stuck behind my pelvic bone, epideral, completely wore off! The doc came in to check on us and said if he didn't come out before the hour was up I was going in for a C section! and I was like sweet, YES, lets go just take me in!!! and my nurse (whome I just freaking love) was like no no no you can do this! and my mom and John were starting to get all cheery and excited like you can do this sam yayyyy la di freakin da lol! I get all hellllllaaaa into pushing, screaming, fighting, grunting, getting all emotional and mad.... bearing down will alll my might! and then the nurse rushes out of the room, and I reached down and touched his head and started bawling my eyes out, ready to get him out, soo happy. The doc came in and got everything ready for baby to gtfo, and they took off my monitors and everything John came up by my head and held my hand. mom sat down below and just watched everything! The doc basically punched my vagina around his head, Im screaming my brains out with every push, totally exhausted, and they say one more on more you can do it puuuuuusssshhhhh!!! And I gave one last push! and POP his head comes out and the doc sticks his ENTIRE hand up there, grabs him under his armpit and says one more push!! big push!! I push and SLURP!!! baby is out and screaming and Im crying and freaking out cuz I want him in my arms NOW!! lol It was the BEST labor I could have asked for despite the legnth!!! I got to enjoy EVERY moment of it, and I felt accomplished cuz I basically had a natural birth, but I didn't have to endure contractions!!
lol sorry its so long
