I hear the second one is always easier. It was the same for my mom, her first about 15hours-ish, and her second was less than four, only two hours after she went to the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-birth-did-you-have#post-139815 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 08:40:01 +0000 Mrs. Pen 139815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: oh gosh that must have been soo scary. You seem totally okay with how it worked out though, and I'm so happy for that! Birth is SUCH an emotional thing, it's really important to be okay with how it went :) OMG LOVE the name Sawyer! It was on my boys list too! I think it's soo adorable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-birth-did-you-have#post-139730 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 05:58:15 +0000 MsMini 139730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Yep! I have returned! The induction was not tolerated by my little guy at all. He couldn't handle real contractions at all, and his heart rate plummeted and was really hard to get back up, so I had a stat c-section. Me and Sawyer are doing awesome though, and he has no apparent ill effects from his critically low fetal heart rate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-birth-did-you-have#post-139668 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:16:30 +0000 HLK208 139668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vaginal - 5 hours of labor then had the epidural (I had 30 minutes until I was fully dilated after the epidural) and 3 hours of pushing </p> <p>I'll update with #2 in a little over a month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-birth-did-you-have#post-139664 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:03:57 +0000 Rosie Girl 139664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vaginal - 9 hrs, epidural, pushed for 1 hr<br /> Vaginal - 3 hours, no meds, pushed for 25 mins </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-birth-did-you-have#post-139617 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 22:21:59 +0000 skibobrown 139617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vaginal -- in labor for 3 days total, ended up w/ pitocin to finally speed things up... then ended up w/ an epidural. I pushed for about 40 minutes. </p> <p>I have no proof, but I think that if I had accepted interventions at an earlier stage in my labor I might have ended up w/ a c-section. In the end I labored at home all the way until I was 6 cm dilated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-birth-did-you-have#post-139616 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 22:21:01 +0000 owlwho 139616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vaginal, labored 19 hrs and then I wanted eipidural since I didn't know how much longer I could take, 30 mins later was pushing and pushed for 90 mins.

How did it go? I see the induction led to a c-section? How are you feeling?</p> <p>I was induced, labored for 3 hours and pushed for less than an hour. I delivered vaginally. No pain meds :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-birth-did-you-have#post-139591 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 21:39:58 +0000 SAHM0811 139591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vaginal... 20 hr labor, epidural, 1 hr pushing<br /> Vaginal... 6 hour labor, no meds, 2 pushes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-birth-did-you-have#post-139585 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 21:35:55 +0000 KT326 139585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vaginal - 14 hours with the last 3 hours pushing.

Vaginal or via c-section? </p>
