Question

im nearly 34 weeks and getting little anxious on wat to expect . thanks 4 ur answers x

Answer 1

(one day past my due date, she arrived on the third day past my due date) i thought my water was leaking and i was having light contractions, so i went to the hospital, they said it was fine and since i was only dialated to two they sent me home. that night i my contractions got stronger and stronger, by the next day i was in bed and didnt get up AT ALL, i kept trying to sleep through the pain. on one of my trips to the restoom, my mucuse plug came out. i went back to bed till i really couldnt stand the pain anymore and we finally went to the hospital. luckly i was 4 cm  dialated so i was admitted. my first signs were contractions, and then the show really let me know. everyone says ULL know when ur in labor and u keep thinking well what if i dont, but trust ULL know when ur in labor! lol...good luck....its fun having a baby, even though it hurts, its one of the best expierences ever. i was in full on labor for about 31 hrs(not counting push time) it took me almost exactly two hours of pushing....good luck

Answer 2

When I was 10 days past my due date, the doctors induced me. I guess first pregnancies often tend to run later than ones after that. I was put on a pitocin drip to start my contractions and was in really intense labor for about 30 hours. I opted to get an epidural and it was WONDERFUL. 3 hours after I the epidural my water broke on its own and 2 hours after that I was fully dilated and ready to push. 15 minutes of pushing later (no pain, just pressure, luckily) my daughter was born! I do wish I had the experience of going into labor on my own, but overall it was fine. Plus because I was induced at the hospital I didn't have any guessing about whether or not I was actually going into labor!

Answer 3

I was dialated to 2cm on Tuesday.  I lost my plug on Thursday. I felt like c**p on Friday, like I was going to start my period.  My water broke when I rolled over in bed at 6:30am the next morning.  My contractions were 3minutes apart from the start.  An hour later when I got to the hospital,  I was dilated to 4cm and 100% effaced, and my contractions were right on top of eachother, so they gave me some narcotics and ordered the epidural.  About 30minutes later I got the epidural.  The baby fell asleep, so they gave me oxygen to wake her up or else thy would have had to do a c-section.  Around 1pm they checked and I was ready to push, and after 10 minutes and 4 pushes I had a baby.  Total labor time: 6 1/2 hours.

Answer 4

Answer 5

With my first one i got a headache about 10pm at nite went to bed and woke up at 2am wanting the toilet alot  spent 4hrs at home while contractions got stronger then foned up hospital and went in at 6am contractions got stronger (cant really do the graphic stuff cos ppl be sick) son was born at 16.55 they thought i mite have had to go into theatre cos couldnt stop bleeding. Had to have a episiotomy cos son was a little big at 8lb 7oz. with second had the same bit headache and waking up at 2am but this time sat up and waters broke foned hospital they said come in contractions started 10 mins after waters broke on bed (had to get new mattress) by time i got to hospital even with visit to the petrol station i had smoked 3 f**s. contractions got stronger through the nite til about 6am when i asked for gas and air then felt pressure about half seven midwives change over new midwife came bk in i said i was ready to push @8am daughter was born at 8.35am at 7lb 8oz. Good luck on your experience everybodys experience is different put it this way u will forget about all the pain when u see ur baby. i was appologisin to my daughter for gettin angry with her while i was pushin her out but it does help cos it gets ur adrenalin pumping. i had stitches with daughter as well but only about 3 cos she came out head first with her arm at the side of her head so i got caught by her nails.

Answer 6

i just gave birth to my 3rd a week ago, and he was so different then my first 2. my first 2 were both induced one lasting 6 hours the other lasting 17, the 3rd i was giving my middle one a bath, when i felt a pop, then a gush of fluid. 30 minutes later my contractions started, 5 1/2 hours later he was here.

Answer 7

I was 5 days before my due date when I started feeling slight cramps in my abdomen. A few hours later, my water broke, so we went to the hospital. I refused drugs for the first seven hours and used breathing techniques to manage the pain. Then, when I was 9 cm dialated, the doctor discovered that my son was breech, so I was wheeled in for an emergency C-section. All told, my labor was about eight hours in total. My advice is go with the flow, don't get stressed out and expect that sometimes things don't go the way you'd hoped.
