I know there were a few of us who ended up going medfree not by choice. So I''m curious stat wise how our Sept births played out.[Poll]

I wish my dr would of let me go for a VBAC but at the same time I think pushing 2 kids out would of been hell. Labor was going really quick the day I did have them though. Went into the hospital not really having any contractions to 30 minutes later having them every minute. A hour later I was in surgery and they were wiggling Braidon's head out of the birth canal cause he was coming no matter what that day.

I had a medicated labor and 34 hours after my induction started I had a cs,so two of the options apply.

Haha! I think pushing 2 kids out was probably the easiest part of my L and D experience.

Well my dear your experience was a small piece of hell delivered by 2 angels. So that doesn't count lol. Actually my first 2 were easy to push out was done in like 10 minutes. It was my third who got stock trying to push his neck out first.

12 days post due date induction that went completely horrible resulting in emergency csection. Haven't posted a birth story or updated ticker. Bumping from mobile.

I need two options. My eip stopped working about an hour before I needed to push the OB and I decided that I wouldn't get a second because it might make me unable to feel to push even though it would mean id have an unmedicated delivery. I was so thankful for my childbirth classes then and that DH turned out to be an amazing coach. he normally passes out at the sight of blood but he watched the whole things and even cut the cord.

I had a scheduled c-section at 40 weeks 6 days due to baby being stuck in my pelvis. Never got into labor, never dropped past a -2 station

Special snowflake here!

Scheduled induction due to GD, pitocin started after water was broken and nothing started, started Epii at 3 cm, got ready to push after 7 hours, pushed for 2 1/2 hours only to find out Stella had turned sunny side up and my only option was going to be an emergency c-section, where I lost 2 litres of blood due to a nick in an artery, had my uterus and cervix torn from all the pushing I had done, and have been advised that another pregnancy would not be the best option as it would result in extensive bedrest from a BFP onward. (they originally thought maybe vacuum, but ob kyboshed that as with the amount of pushing I had done my uterus wall was thinned and I would have ended in a hysterectomy.)

Yeah my first birthing experience was a 5 1/2 hour start to finish epiduraled vaginal birth so lets just say this one was epic.

Stasi · October 2012

I went pain med free, but was on a low does of Pitocin because my water broke before labor started and she needed to come out a little faster.

MissIntentional · October 2012

Planned med free birth.

JessicaxLynn87 · October 2012

Planned to have an epidural, but was one of the unlucky ones who it didn't work on!

brideandbreve · October 2012

I was induced @ 39w1d due to low AF, and got a cervidil insert and then a pitocin drip the following morning. Planned to get the epidural, but wasn't progressing fast enough for it. Got fentanyl (an analgesic) through my IV to take the edge off, but it wore off within 45 minutes after being administered.

Water broke on its own at 1:45, had progressed to 4cm, asked for the epidural, anesthesiologist showed up and started working on it (had completed the right side and was working on the left) when I started feeling like I needed to push. I had progressed all the way to 10cm. Baby boy was born at 3:18, and the epidural hadn't kicked in, so technically, all that was done med-free. The epidural kicked in and my right leg went numb while the OB was stitching up my tear. :

MainelyFoolish · October 2012

I wanted an epidural, but by the time the anesthesiologist got to me, I was already 9 cm dilated. Got a spinal instead.

This is pretty much exactly me. After 48 hours of induction, DD wouldn't descend and I was passing out from the magnesium and my bp kept dropping really low. I ended up having a cs.
