Brother Adam Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 Long labors can actually be really boring until it is time for delivery, especially if the mom is using pain meds. Some of you may remember I blogged during most of Teresa's labor with Bethany. Mom is basically laying there doing nothing waiting to start pushing.

CatherineM Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I had to be induced early. My parents were going to lose their health insurance in a week. Probably the last time in my life that I was small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] When my daughter was born I went drug-free for twelve hours and then attempted an epidural. They put it in the wrong place so I was only numb in the left leg. I don't think I even spoke much, much less be able to put coherent thoughts together. LOL Luthien, you rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL [/quote] Yeah, I made it about 8 hrs without one but my contractions were off the monitor and I was having breathing problems and I wasn't progressing like I should. So I was given an epidural and went from 3 cm to 9 cm in about 45 minutes lol I was just thankful that I was able to breath again lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
