I had one, but then in between each push I was throwing up so I never was really wearing it. I wore it more in the beginning before the throwing up began

On and off during labor bc DS was having heart decels. Didn't wear it while pushing though.

Yes, during the last hour or so pushing because LO was stuck and I was getting exhausted.

If Maria Shriver put an oxygen mask on me while I was pushing it would be very helpful.

Nope. And I pushed for three hours. And I was completely nude pretty much from when we got to our room until I delivered. They just threw a robe around me when I went between the tub and my room.

Yes, towards the end. I spiked a temp and had been pushing for 3 hours and was delirious. Apparently they made DH hold it up to my face and I kept hitting at him and telling him to go away

I totally forgot about this! It's so true what they say about how you forget about labor. I know I had one on after pushing for awhile (I pushed for an hour) but I don't know how log I wore it or why. I remember the nurse telling me though, and I remember the band got stuck on my hair tie so that it kept coming off because the band would ride up the back of my head.

Yes, I got dizzy after each push I was concentrating so hard. The oxygen helped me get through

I did. I didn't feel like it was doing anything, though. Maybe it was? But I did it because the doctor said to.

I did but don't remember why. C's heart rate dropped, but we fixed that by being on m side in between contractions. Maybe my pulse ox was low?

Not for my vaginal birth (pushed for 3 hours) but my second one I only had one because it turned into a C-section when I pushed for 3 hours and she never budged.

I did on and off during labor b/c of DD's heartrate, then they made me put it on too in between pushing!

Yes, for both.
First time I pushed for 5 hours and needed it towards end.
Second time baby's heart rate dropped a bit so they had me wear it for a bit in between pushing.

Yes during both of my labor and deliveries. On during labor for a while and I think during pushing for my first. Heart decels was the issue both times

I did. I only pushed for about 40 minutes but I kept forgetting to control my breathing properly so they kept popping it on in between pushes.

For my first delivery, I had to wear a mask. The second time around, I didn't need to.

Just like @lovehoneybee: they had me wear one while pushing, but I felt like I couldn't breathe even more with it on so they just handed it to me between pushes. I think I was unconsciously forgetting to breathe - I couldn't catch my breath the whole time!
