she said after 3h of pushing which is a crazy long amount! 😅😅😅 I pushed for 2h and thought I was going to die. Usually they start considering an emergency c-section after 2h. So I was in labor for a total of 14h but pushed for 2h

you are absolutely right. I swear my brain since being pregnant has me reading everything in nonsense 🤦🏽‍♀️

it was wild! Definitely was hard at first when I felt the pain because my epidural hadn’t been fully kicked in like it was with my son. It wasn’t too painful the only part that I will say hurt was the crowning. My first he was bigger and I tore more with him. Recovery was fast for me though.
With her I went into the OBGYN office for my last appointment and I was measured at 2 cm dilated, when I came to the hospital they checked me and I was at 4 cm so while at home I was having contractions without even knowing they were contractions. They felt like Braxton Hicks. Around 7:30 they started pitocin and I went to 5 cms just about 6 cms. After that check in an instant I was at 10 cms. I want to say about 40-50 minutes max that it happened. Roughly 2 minutes of pushing!

lol sorry it was 3 hours of laboring down and then 2 minutes to push! She was super quick to come! She wanted to be here. With my son it was 18 hours of labor and 7 minutes to push.

I gave birth 8 hours after they placed the citotec. Only pushed for 15 min. Pushed a total of 6 times 2 practice pushes and her head was out. And 4 more pushes and there she was. It all happened so fast. It gave me whiplash. Congratulations on your girl. It was extremely fast for me too.

definitely is nice when it’s a quick labor ! I’ve never heard of getting whiplash in labor! That’s interesting though! Thank you , same to you as well!

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
