How was your birth experience?

[mrs_park]

Just thought it would be interesting....

I found my birth absolutely traumatizing! It was the best and worst day of my life!

I was very lucky and had a short, "easy" labor and delivery. Am interested (and afraid) to see how the next one goes!

27 hours, dry labour without any sort of pain relief till near the end, and my friends mum who took me to the hospital didn't leave the room for the whole thing which was super awkward especially since my OH and mum were already there. I HATED IT, next time I want an epidural done it naturally once know what it's like and don't need to do it again.

scary, fast, dramatic...and I'd do it over again in a heartbeat. My birth story link is in my signature for details

Mine was great tbh.
34 hours of back labor and a home birth.
Being at home was amazing!

My first was emergency csection at 31 weeks and it was horrible. My 2nd was a VBAC and absolutely amazing. I was epidural free until the last min when i started to doubt my vbac was possible. So happy i proved one of the drs wrong who told me to "just get another csection" I still have some perineum pain but that was the best day of my life.

Horrible Induced and no pain meds (wasn't able to).

Horrible and traumatizing. Back to back labor. 24 hours med-free labor at home, then went to hospital for 6 more hours then pushed for 3 hours and ended up having to get a emcs anyway after all that work because she wouldn't fit! The epidural failed so I had to get general anesthesia and didn't get to see/hold/nurse my baby for several hours. Even my mil saw my baby before me, which kinda made me jealous tbh. I am still in pain.

Still it was worth it and I like how they still left it a surprise if I had a boy or girl.

My first one was on paper truly awful but I thought it was amazing! I went 15days overdue had my waters broken and the contractions came thick and fast and very painful I had g&a and pethidine after 7hours of labour bAby got stressed got ru shed down to theatre given an epi for a c sec but ended up having a ventouse birth down in theatre! AS in hospital for 5dAys before signing myself out the epi had paralysed my bladder!

 

[mumandco]

With ds2 1 day before my due dAted I started having contractions woke my oh up and told him I thought I was in labour,determined I was so had a shower washed dried Nd straightend my hair lol phoned up hospital they sId they'd phone back but they never did next thing I know my waters break phone the hosp they tel me to go in,we drop ds1 off with my dAd and off we go get to the hosp and stRted pushing in the lift,get into delivery 35 mins later After 6 1/2 of hours of labour baby was born! Few hours later we go home I even carried my own heavy hosp bAg didn't feel like I had a baby! It was amazing

I wont bore you with the details lol but it was horrificly awful is that even a word I can honestly say ive never ever experienced anything like it and never wish to do so again I will say though after allthough the pain was reaaaally bad when i saw him (sorry to sound cheesy here) but it just all faded away

 

[lozzy21]

To keep it short, it was the worst experience ever.

 

[emilyjade]

both of mine was amazing and id do it all again in a heartbeat x

 

[MiuMiow]

Sleepy... Contractions started at 8.15 am, by 10.30 the doctor decided on emergency caesarean (LO was facing the wrong way, cord was wrapped around etc...). I'd had an epidural an combined with the anesthesia and months of sleepless nights, I just zonked through the whole thing ...

I had a horrible time, I found it really traumatic I am not sure I have really come to terms with it yet, I am not really sure the OH has either. BUT we are already talking about when to have the next one

 

[minibeast]

it's really sad that so many girls have traumatic births. mine was too

 

[Lettuce]

Traumatic too... I was fine during it happening, but struggling to cope with it now.

Just thought it would be interesting....

I found my birth absolutely traumatizing! It was the best and worst day of my life!

Technically my labour was 'easy' (no intervention) but I too was traumatized and it was awful! I was pushing for 2 hours which was the very worst bit, Louie ripped my bits to pieces as well which wasn't nice!

I think I'm just a wimp because so many other ladies had more traumatic births than me! I think I just wasn't mentally prepared, I was so frightened.
