Question

from my first child that was 7 years ago.... what should i do to prepare... im due in 2 weeks....

Answer 1

with my 1st son I had a bad experience the Doctor told me if I don't have my baby by 3pm I was going to have a c-section and he was very rude. but with my 2nd kid I had a good  experience with a mid wife they help me a lot  I was in labor for 11 hours and push 3 time then my baby was born I recommend a mid wife then a doctor they are really good

Answer 2

My labor was bad, I was in labor for 24 hours and then when it came time to push my son was looking up instead of down so he became stuck every time I stopped pushing. They told me to take a short nap (yes a nap lol) and then came back 45mins later. I was so numb I couldn't tell how hard or not hard I was pushing. My bladder became swollen and they put this red tube through to drain my urine. Then came the forceps, so I tore with the forceps and still had to be cut, but with one more push and a tug and pull from the doctor my son was out. Once he came out I forgot about EVERYTHING I just went through. The after birth came out fast and I didn't feel it come out. The after math, I threw up and was shaking from the epidural.  I also had 60 stitches( YES 60!! lol) they kept waking me up every four hours to drug me( which was horrible because the medicine made me sick) I lost so much blood they thought I would need a blood transfusion(but I didn't thank god been there done that) but in the end I healed faster than any of the doctors and nurses thought I would( my room was packed with Doctors, nurses, and Residents, it was hard labor) and it was worth it my son is a happy, healthy, hyper one year old lol. Don't let mine or anyone else birth story scare you every one is different and ever labor is different. This was my first (and my only) and they say your second labor and birth is usually faster and easier. Also my Doctor and Nurses were the BEST they took control of the situation and my son was born safe, they were a blessing. But good luck and I wish you the best ^_^

Answer 3

With my first I went in for my 35wk checkup and the dr (not my normal obgyn) at the office said I was measuring small and wanted an ultrasound so I head to hospital to get one. fast forward 6hrs, get ultrasound the dr. thinks my baby isnt growing and he gives me some pills (i was only 21 at the time) to induce labor, my baby stepped on his cord or something and his heart rate shoots down. The dr. said if I dont have the baby by tomorrow then I will have an emergency csection. My first nurse was awesome. She left at like 10am the next morning and my 2nd nurse was horrible. When i was getting epidural she pushed the side table over my legs and squished them in and i couldnt move then she told me to move and i said i couldnt and she yelled at me. About 10 min after my epidural i said my baby was coming and they didnt believe me. my hubby ran in the hall to get them and they said oh she's not having it yet. they finally came and the dr. was almost too late. Oh and they came in my room with this big crochet looking hook and said ok we're breaking your water now. I was totally freaked out. btw my baby was induced too early and spent 11 days in the nicu. he had to be transfered bc they didnt have a nicu and I was so drugged up i didnt even know what was going on after the delivery. They also let me leave the hospital less than 24hrs after giving birth. 2 Days after delivery I had to go to er for swelling, my blood pressure was through the roof and they didnt know what happened. they think I had preclampsia after giving birth. Dont let that scare you though.

When I was ready for another baby I found a new and way better dr. Everything went great. He did extra tests bc of how my first delivery went down and said I just have small babies. my dr.s staff was awesome and even came by on their lunch break to say hi and see how i was doing. I had my baby shower on july 17th and was hoping to have my 2nd son on the 18th (my grandpa had passed away earlier that year and his bday was july 18th) so I ran up and down my stairs like 10 times and i started getting contractions so we got to the hospital around midnight or 1am. I didnt get a room till around 7am and then I got pitosen (spelling) at like 9:30am and had water broken at 10 then had epidural around 11 or 12 and had baby at 2pm. Very positive experience and would recommend my obgyn to anybody. He is very knowledgable.

I hope you have a positive experience like my second : )

oh and the dr that induced my first baby also induced my friend early too (we didnt know each other at the time though)
