Congrats to kat and ama on their new babies. wow u had a son katlene? i wanted a son, but oh well... will have to wait for another try again, perhaps this year. this baby girl of mine, is ok sometimes, but she can be quite cranky... doc says its normal at 2 mths old. but the pain of labor deters me from having another... i had natural labour no epi for 11 hrs... it was hell!
how about u kat, u went natural or elective c? how long was ur labour?
and u ama? was urs an easy delivery?

No mine was not too easy, I was in labor from about 9am till 10pm then I decided it was more then a stomach bug (it was my first I just thought I had an upset tummy at first) I rang the doctor he freaked and told me to get to hospital.
I went to the local hospital and they pretty much wanted to send me home because I looked to comfortable to be in heavy labour.....I decided to go on to the hospital I was booked in at arrived there 30min and an ice block later (I made hubby stop on the way LOL). They also said I looked to comfortable and just put me in a ward to wait.....I then told them at about 1am that the pain was a little worse could they do an internal........they then discovered I was already 4cm dilated and began to freak out because apparently I still looked too comfortable so they said they couldn't trust just looking at me (what ever that meant).
I then sometime later asked for pain relief as the gas did nothing so the nurse went off to get it and I moved into the shower she came back and I said oh I don't need that now I am fine.....to which she relied well its here now and jabbed me with it any way...morphen I believe it was.
I became distressed because she was not listening to me and then because I became sleepy from the morphine and so did bubby it became dangerous so they did an emergency c section at 3pm the next day I had been in labor the whole time...was something like 20 odd hours total.
SO NOW I HAVE NO DESIRE TO HAVE ANOTHER IN HOSPITAL ...the whole experience sucked from start to finish ...went from ****ty midwife to the breastfeeding Nazi so I discharged myself on the 4th day.
Now things are wonderful except I have a fear of having another and going through the same drama's and bad treatment so putting off having another until I can convince hubby to let me have a home birth.
