Baby Dilly - 70 hours of labor & then C-Section!

Omigosh, Jill Duggar went through 70 hours of labor before an emergency c-section! I'm hoping she's able to vbac since I know they're 'open to as many children as God will give' them. I had an 8 hour labor & a 6 hour labor, before having a c-section both times. Also, I believe she went through 2 days of that labor at home with no meds, you go girl!!! I'm all about the pain meds myself. ;)

Also, even though I'm not really religious, I love Baby Dilly's name: Israel Michael Dillard. So cute!

    I had to be induced due to BP issues with my first, so I don't know what it feels like to go into natural labor. I'm hoping that this time around I can have him on the day of his choosing, however I am all about an epidural.
    I am not religious but I adore the sugar family. They have such good personal values and respect everyone and everything.

    Something I read said that her mother had a c-section early on and has had multiple v-backs so I am sure she will try as well.

    I must admit, while I don't have cable so I can't watch the show, this family intrigues me to no end! How they make it work, with all the kids who are all so good. I am not religious either, but they are truly amazing!

    @PerkinsFam3 I love the name Dilly too! What a cute little name!! :)
    I've only seen the show a few times, but they're such a sweet family.

    @barrelocarol it's not crazy to want a natural birth at all!! :) that being said! I've never gone that route myself!! lol the best advice I've ever recieved was to have a birth plan, but know somehow, something will change. And that's okay, we all have our own journey, and no ones birth is wrong!
    With my first I labored at home for what felt like forever. I was sent home Friday with contractions, but not progressing and had DD1 on Monday. Come Monday morning I was just exhausted. And DH is so sweet, he let me pick any path to our baby I wanted and needed. But you'll find your way! I promise!!

    I guess I am the lone wolf. Once I found out about "blanket training" I can't stand to look at any of them.

    @SweetnSassy23 I wish I hadn't looked up blanket training. How awful! Why would anyone do that?!

    I have no respect for those parents. I don't know how you treat a child that way.  It is absolutely unacceptable.

    I had to be induced because I went a week past due date then 28 hrs of labor and ended up having to get a c-section with no meds so I feel her pain. Hoping this one isn't as traumatic. My husband even wonders why I would want more kids after going through that lol

    @PerkinsFam3 I don't know the complete details because I was too turned off to finish reading, but I have the basic gist.  When baby starts learning how to crawl, you put it on a blanket and tell him/her to stay there.  When baby moves off blanket, you spank and put him/her back on the blanket. Repeat until child is submissive (or behaving).  In other words, lack of parenting and complete horseshit.

    Yikes! There's a lot of scary stories out there about this mindset.

    It's completely unsettling and disrespectful to the baby.  It's mind boggling.

    I went into PTL at 28 weeks with my first.  Fortunately they were able to stop progression (I did make it to 3 cms).  I then continued to labor for another 6 weeks!!!  YES--- REAL measurable contractions!!!!!!!  Needless to say, I was exhausted once DD made her appearance at 34 weeks.  

    I did receive an epdiural for the final hour of pushing... I just had zero energy at that point and needed whatever support I could get!
