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...

Olivia Marie Norman02/19/09 at 11:45pm6lbs10oz I pushed her out in a record time for a first baby at our hospital. I came in a little after 9pm and was 4cm dilated and 50% effaced. I sat in the tub for a while and was just about to ask for an epidural because the contractions just kept coming and co...

Phoebe DawnFebruary 12, 2009 at 5:47pm7lbs. 14oz.  20 1/2 inches It's pretty long but I wanted to write out everything I remembered. Well, here we go with Phoebe’s birth story. As a heads up - I went completely natural. The only thing I received were antibiotics for Group B Strep and...

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 ...

I'm 3 days PP and I had a third degree tear during delivery. So of course I know it's going to hurt for a while. But it hurts like hell and the pain hasn't really diminished at all, whereas the bleeding has just about stopped. How long did everyone else suffer from the stitches and such? I am suppos...

Just curious if it's possible to re-tear your perineum. I know it sounds rediculous. I have this one spot that kind of stings right on the outside of my vagina, and when I look down at it, from the angle I'm at, it just looks like a small nick, and unfortunately I never noticed if it was there befor...

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...
