I wish it was LEGAL to have a homebirth here. There are 6 states that it is

illegal in and I am in Ohio witch happens to be one of them. So, homebirth

was never an option for us.

As you all know my most recent labor was induced with pitocin since I

wouldn't dialate past three. My water started leaking naturally on it's own

and I had her an hour and a half later. Because it was with pitocin the

contractions were horrible. With my son my water broke on it's own at home

and I wasn't contracting so I had pitocin with him too, so I don't really

know what a natural active labor contracion feels like.

My mom's longest labor was an hour and a half. Her shortest was 45 mins. She

was induced one and the rest were natural (well actually castor oil). She

said her contractions were never any worse then diarreah pains.

I feel for you! I'm sure that if they would have left you alone " most " if

not all the negative things probaly would not have happened to you & your

baby.

I know that medicine has a place, but in a normal healthy birth it needs to

take a back seat :o)

The OB-GYN that I saw 4 times told me that I had high blood pressure, I've

always had low BP.

After I fired him I never had it again :o)

LOL!

I had choreamnionitus- and some other infection- it wasn't from breaking my

water, but the doctor said if they didn't break my water they wouldn't have

found out about the infection so quickly. I actually had something wrong

with me for weeks, because I was waking up with a fever everyday, but when I

drank something the fever lowered, so the doctor and I both agreed that it

was dehydration from sleeping for 12 hours. we were both wrong.

Jenn,

Try never to regret your birth. You have your beautiful daughter as a result

and obviously she needed to come into the world that way. You can make

different choices next time but don't look back with regret. Try to find the

positives such as the strength you had to have to go through such a grueling

experience.

Wendi,

Thank you, you have no idea how good that just made me feel:) It is a very

emotional topic for me. Like i said in my post, that was the short story,

the c-section itself was very tramatic. It was hard and i have had some

problems dealing with it, but i do try to focus on the good, and just not

think about it. Like I said ANYTHING would be worth it for Paige:)

thankyou again:) Jenn

Jenn,

It is my pleasure. It makes me so sad to hear women say that they should have

done something different. Hindsight is 20/20 and if you had been able to do

something different you would have. Now that you have had that experience you

have learned and will make other choices whatever they may be. You wouldn't be

able to make those choices had it not been for living through Paige's birth. It

made you strong and it made you a mother. Don't look back.

I am so impressed by hearing these stories. My waters broke with both children

on their own. Unfortunately, I had complications with my first...he was almost

sectioned, but we waited it out and I was able to do a safe vaginal delivery.

I did have to be induced (hospital policy says that the baby must be born

within 24 hrs of water breaking and we were not progressing at ALL) and I had

epidurals with both too. With my first, I was so worn down by the whole

experience being that he was 5 weeks early and I was scared about what was

going on. With my second, my water broke and I began progressing fairly well.

The nurse I had for the first couple of hours encouraged me to have the epi,

so I went for it. I now regret it wholeheartedly. I think I probably could

have done it (or at least more of it) without any drugs. I was glad to be in

a medical facility with my first though. He needed medical care immediately.

My aunt had her two children at home and I was able to see one of the births.

I have always been envious of this experience. I asked my dh if he was

interested in checking into the birthing center near our home for when and if

we have another child. He said he would, but later when I asked him if he

thought I could do it with no drugs, he seemed hestitant. Oh dear! I just

don't know! I think if I really wanted to do it, he would be supportive

though. I envy your experiences those of you who have really planned and had

so much of a wonderful birth plan.

Women are designed to give birth without drugs. Of course you could do it.

Wendi,

I guess I am just not confident in having power over my own pain. It can be

scary. I am really going to look into some alternatives if we do have another

child though! It is important to me!

I think I need you there for my next birth...if there is one! I usually have a

lot of confidence, so this is perplexing!
