Liliana Marie was born at 3:50 PM on Sunday, March 8th after about 13 hours of labor and 1 hour of pushing. The super-abbreviated birth story: I labored at home until noon when all I could think about was getting into a giant tub of warm water, went to the hospital, got checked and was already at 8 ...

Finally got around to typing up my birth story! Miss Livvy Bean finally decided to make her appearance on Thursday night. We got home from the hospital yesterday and it's been a whirlwind. Little sleep which is to be expected. My boobs are amazingly sore from breastfeeding and pumping. It's all a bi...

So it all started at about 11 o clock Saturday night, I decided to drink 2 tablespoons on castor oil to see if this would actually work, ended up falling asleep after. I woke up at about 2 am with mild contractions(bothersome enough so that I couldn't sleep). They started about 15 minutes apart then...

So, on Monday Feb 2nd, like I said before the doctor wanted to induce me. I decided to go ahead with it because I trust that my doctor knows what she's doing and talking about when she said that it was time. Me and my parents went to the hospital at 7:30am. I signed a few papers, and ...

  Baby Ava has arrived! She came on January 28th, 8 days early. She was 6 pound 3 ounces.  Here is the story. On the 27th, the doctor stripped my membranes (without actually asking). That night, I started to get immense back pain, but I thought it was just the normal pain I'd bee...

All was good, just felt like PMS.They broke my water around 6pm and contraction began to really really really hurt and were one right after another.even th...

I had a surprisingly good night last night and I'm feeling like I have a bit of energy, so I might as well type my story. I'm 10 days post partum today. I woke up on Thursday the 15th of January feeling awful and fluey which I had been for the past 2 days. I had high fever, aches and a rash but the ...

Delilah Marie was born on January 9th at 5:01 AM. I arrived at the hospital Wednesday night at 9pm to start the Cytotec. I had already been contracting around 10 mins apart for a few days and because of how regular they were becoming I had to wait several hours before starting the induction because ...

Just a warning: If stories of induction or ones that involve AROM, epidurals, and pitocin bother you, then feel free to skip this. So I failed to go into labor naturally before 5:30 Thursday morning, though I did continue to have contractions throughout Tuesday and Wednesday. My husband and I pulled...

Layla-Grace arrived on June 19th 2008 at 3:15am weighing in at 9lb 7.5oz! After going into hospital at 7:30pm on June 17th to be induced, waiting around for hours and then being told after monitoring that nothing would be started until the next day, I tried, and failed, to get sleep. If I'd known wh...
