DD1: Laughing gas, epidural, vacuum extraction because she was posterior , small internal tear
DD2: no time for an epidural, went from 3cm to baby out in 45 minutes! No meds (though in desperately wanted them), no tearing !

Scheduled c-section for me.

I had a natural hospital birth attended by midwives. I labored in the whirlpool most of the day, and delivered on the bed. 2 hours of pushing but only first degree internal tearing.

C-section disaster. Hemorrhaged on the table, passed out, ended up needing a transfusion due to blood loss. Plus had pre-e so had to be on magnesium sulfate for 36 hours post-delivery. The whole experience was really traumatic and 2.5 years later, I'm still processing it.

First: 3 epidurals, pitocin, broken water, 3 hrs of pushing, vacuum extraction, vaginal delivery
Second: pitocin induction, antibiotics, epidural turned spinal catheter, vaginal delivery, post delivery spinal headache, blood patch -
IV narcotics (have never done a drug before so it was fun to be high haha!) then an epidural, 2 tiny tears requiring one stitch each.
-
I was induced due to pre-e. Had to be on magnesium for the whole induction (plus IV fluids and a catheter) and this continued for 24 hours post-delivery too. They tried a folly bulb, cytotex, pit, manually breaking my water - nothing worked. They gave me an epidural after 36 hours in preparation for my c-section.

@matador84: Med free tearing AND episiotomy? *cringe*
Water broke before labor, GBS+ therefore hep lock, 17 hours without intervention but involving a lot of graceless profanity and an acute lack of spirituality, epidural at 9.5cm followed by pitocin and six more hours til birth. Pushed for only 30 minutes, had a microtear and no stitches.

DS1- induction with Pitocin and epidural. Forceps extraction.
DD- induction with Pit and epi.
DS2- water broke and epi. -
*all birth is natural*
I had an unmediated home birth. My midwife and partner spent hours filling/warming the tub, and I ultimately didn't use it (was pushing 10 minutes after it was ready). No interventions ... but I had a tear and needed sutures once we were back in bed.

@ElbieKay: it was really traumatic but I was in so much pain I was barely conscious! I almost ruptured my cervix and no time for a c.
