Pregnancy Experience Questioner

Birth Mother #1: She was in labor for 51 hours and was against c section's but towards the end when she was getting extremely tired she gave up and got a c section. She mentions that the pool was the most relaxing and comfortable place to be and would calm her down. She is planning on having a second child but wishes to have a natural birth the next time. Her one regret was having the c section, but she had to because she failed to progress.

Birth Mother #2: She was in labor for about a day and a half, she had a midwife and her mid wife knew she hated c sections so se gave her an IV and she would sleep for five hours at a time only waking up for random contractions. And then 24 hours later her baby came out, while her second pregnancy was WAY easier, it only lasted about 5 hours and only took 10 minutes to push. She doesn't have any regrets because she was very aware of the process and what would happen so even though she was in complete pain she understood why.

Birth Mother #3: She was in labor for only about 6 hours, she was having her baby a week early, a premature. She arrived at the hospital and had her water broken by the doctor , about 3 hours later she was ready to push but she was completely numb so had to wait another our or two , when finally she was able to push and her baby came out an hour later. she claims that it was very easy and "is ready to do it again!" .

Birth Mother #4: She didn't have a positive experience , she found the nurses to be very unpolite and had a call in doctor, so she felt really uncomfortable already. The doctors told her that they lost her daughters heartbeat and they had to call in another doctor. she mentions that it was very tense in the room , and wasn't helping the process at all. They had to use a vacuum extraction because the baby wasn't coming out when she pushed and since they couldn't find the heart beat they needed to speed up the process. Finally when the baby came out the cord was around her neck , and when they cut it , she wasn't crying which freaked her out, but then a second later a little noise came out of her mouth. This mother mentions that it was the worst experience ever but the outcome was worth it !
