Answer 1

I started contractions on night of 15th feb 2006 (but didnt know what they were) Waters broke 1.30am on the 16th feb and daughter was born at 11.35am the same day. She was due on the 17th.

I was at home and went to hospital after my waters broke. I felt like two punches or kicks or something 'down there' it was a bit painful and then it all gushed out all over my bed because I had just gone to lay down. I still think it happened because of the position I was in when trying to lay down hehe.

Answer 2

With my first I was going to be induced at 10:30p.m. on october 1st, 1999.  I went to the hospital and was already 4 cm dilated they started pitocin and I had a very easy labor.  The delivery on the other hand was very bad.  Like 4 and half hours of pushing(no pain relief) he was face up and got stuck.  It was too late to do a c section so they grabbed the forceps and yanked him out.  It was life or death so i had no anestetic, got an episiotomy and then tore the rest of the way. OUch! He was born at 9:26 a.m. october 2nd,  I was due the 7th. So with my daughter I decided to have a c-section because I was terrified of having the same thing happen.  I was due april 1, 2001 and was schedueled for a c-section monday the 2nd.  I was suppose to pick up my surgery orders on friday march 30th.  I felt like c**p!  I was sick and thought I had the flu.  I asked my dad to drive me to pick up the orders because I felt so horrible.  While I was there my dr. said I didnt look to good so I asked him to do a vaginal exam and see if I had started to dilate any more ( I had been 1cm for 2 weeks).  During the exam he got this strange look on his face and said I needed to go to the hospital now!  I was 8 to 9 cm almost fully dilated.  I was in shock because I had'nt even felt a contraction.  I got to the hospital around noon.  I would not let them do anything because I was waiting for my husband.  I freaked out and decided I wanted to try a vaginal delivery.Luckily I was barely having contractions and my husband finaly made it when I was 10cm and ready to push.  I pushed for 2 and a half hours before the dr. said I had to get the c section because he didnt want the same thing to happen to my daughter as did to my son.  So she was born at 5:09p.m. march 30th.  Sorry to write so much but I love labor stories to and I love all the details :)
