  • I did. Not tearing or stitches. I felt great afterwards - besides the unknown with ds - the birth was a great experience. They told me I could drive myself home from the hospital if I wanted :)

  • I wish I could have! I had very serious complications from my c/s. A vaginal birth could have made my life a lot easier, but there was no time for that.
  • I did.

  • I delivered preemie twins vaginally.  Recovery wasn't bad at all but honestly, I had other things on my mind than my own pain.
  • I did, it was great. I did have to be cut (her heartrate was dropping) and had stiches, but I was up 1 hour after she was born and out of the hospital 12 hours to go see her (transfered to a NICU 2 hours away). I think my recovery was so easy because I was so obsessed with seeing her and spending time with her I had no time to think about pain.
  • I did. Recovery was very quick..I was able to walk to the NICU the next morning.

  • I did too ... no epi or any type of pain med.  None of my contractions showed up on the monitor so I was told that I wasn't in labor.  Soooo by the time they figured out I was in labor ... well DD was in the birth canal and was born about 20 minutes later.  Yep ... it hurt ... even though she was only 31 weeks it hurt a lot. An episiotomy with no pain meds hurts no matter how early she was, and a manual extraction of the placenta ... that hurt worse than anything.  BUT, the recovery was very quick.  I was walking down to the NICU on my own within a day and running to get there for a feeding within 2 weeks.

  • I did, I chose to not have an epi and actually ended up having to have an episiotomy w/out any pain meds b/c DS's heart rate kept dropping.  The recovery was rough, but worth it.  I didn't actually realize how uncomfortable I was until a week later when he came home...I was just worried about him in the NICU the whole time.
