Wow, scary.

Holy moly! Indifferent

I'm glad mother and baby are doing well.

Yeah, I read that when she first put it up. It gave me chills. I am so worried about going into "real" labor vs. pitocin-fueled. My biggest fear is that my body will make up for not working last time, and I will have a baby in a place other than the hospital.

Here is a woman from my Due Date board on FF.... she was laboring in the tub waiting for her midwife to get there.

WOW! That last pic is amazing and funny. I am scared my next child is going to be an I-5 baby

This.

A friend's friend delivered his wife's baby at home (half hour labor, i hear) before the midwife arrived. The idea of labor is daunting enough, but doing it alone? Yikes.

You could always do a home birth! The midwives I used for O and E will come to your house!

Holy crap! That is crazy.

I've definitely wondered about this too, since my body didn't get to do it on it's own. I'm more curious than worried though.

I am worried because my pit-contrax were so horrendous that I don't think I will know what "real" contractions feel like. I am afraid of waiting too long. But I would imagine that my OB would give me good guidelines and little leeway during a VBAC.

Trust me, you will still know!! I guess I am the crazy one that doesn't think this is that bad of an outcome! At least the doula was there! Not ideal by any stretch, but I might choose this over 2 hours of pushing like last time! Now on the side of I-5? That's a different story...

Well, what I thought were Braxton Hicks must have been doing more than I thought! But I agree, once they really kicked it into gear there was no doubt what was happening. But as scary as it was, and as much as I did not want to give birth in the ambulance, I'd take Anna's labor over Max's any day of the week! Two pushes vs pushing for an hour and a half? Yes, please!

Oh and it's probably not much reassurance, but my midwife said when babies come really fast like that, they are just ready and almost always everything is fine.

Am I the only one who thinks that it was irresponsible to stay home and labor so long just because she didnt want to be hooked up to a monitor? Wouldnt they consider her higer risk for a reason?

I thought that too. If she was high risk, why was she waiting it out? I'm glad everything was ok in the end.
