Ok,if no1 else is prepared 2 start this
discussion then I will.
I was 15 when I found out I was pregnant
with my 1st child. When I went into
labour I was 16 and my boyfriend jamie was
17. We both said we would like a boy.I'd
always wanted a boy first so he could
protect all of his siblings. I went into
labour 2weeks early.Jamie was with me all
the way. I was in labour for 10 hours +
37 mins + at 11.22pm I gave birth to a 6ib
8oz baby girl. We decided to call her
lucy-rose because lucy was the name my
best friend who had previously died said
she wanted me to call the baby if it was a
girl and I chose the middle name rose
because I think it sounds nice with
lucy.
When I went into labour with my second
child me and my boyfriend ryan both wanted
a boy. I was 17 and so was he when I went
into labour. I was in labour for 13hours
+ 2mins and I gave birth to my second
healthy daughter. It was ryan's first
child. She weighed 5ib 1oz and we decided
to call her bethany-emily.I always call
her beth though.
When I went into labour with my youngest
child I was 19 and so was my boyfriend
jason. I again wanted a boy and jason
said because it was his first child he was
open-minded. I was un labour for 7hrs+55
mins and gave birth to the baby boy I
longed for. He weighed 4ib 2oz and was
kept in hospital for a few weeks because
he was so small. We called him
kieron-lee.
Even though I am a single mum I am so
happy with my 3 beautiful children.
Please share your expierence.

My Quick Labours Posted: 09-12-05 23:37pm
Hi there, I had my first child a 16 also.
I carried sophie until I was 38 weeks and
with just 4 1/2 hrs of labour she was born
quickly painfully and beautiful, at 4lbs
13 oz she was tiny but healthy. My
second was just 13mths later, when I went
into labour at 33 weeks. I was scared to
death but was reassured that all was going
to be fine. After 10hrs of labour rhys
james was born weighing 5lbs!! And also
perfect. We had a 7yr break before we
went for number 3 and at 37 weeks and just
4hrs of hard fast labour chelsea grace was
born weighing 5lbs 11oz (of course
perfect) now my kids are 8,7 and 2 and we
are expecting number 4 to arrive around
x-mas time :) my labours have been quick
and easy with no real problems and i'm
hoping this one is the same (we are
expecting a little boy) we plan to call
either jai karl-phillip or jaidyn
karl-phillip, what so you think of the
names????? Anyway I hope my short labour
info has shed a little light on the topic
for you and good luck!!! :)
Your lucky on having such quick labours I
hope your next labour will be as quick.
Good luck with baby number 4 and all of
your childrens names are beautiful
keep me posted about the new baby boy

I had a good labor just a bad expierence
with the nurses
at 6:30 my water broke it had only been
an hour and a half of being home from the
hospital. I called triage and they told
me until my contractions were 4 mins apart
they didnt want me in there, I went
anyways. We waited in a waiting room
with other expecting family till 7:50 as
my parents came in 10 or 20 mins later.
The pain was intense but my dad kept
cracking jokes so it wast as bad, my mom
kept trying to give me yogurt lol!. The
nurse checked me once around 8:30 and
never came back, my mom was timing my
contraction (my mom has 6 kids) and
realized I was 1 minute apart (i was so
spaced out) the pain gets to a point where
you stop feeling it. My mom opened the
examintaion room door and asked the nurse
to check me she said in half an hour, my
mom said "no now!" the nurse asked my mom
to calm down but my mom explained I was a
minute apart. The nurse never came in
my room,mom went out 10 mins later and
went into a delivery room and pulled a
nurse out and said I needed to be check
now. Their response was im a first time
mom and labor is longer. Anyways 10
mins later they checked me I was 7 cm
dialted I got transported to a delivery
room pronto at 9:55 in half an hour I
dialted the last three cm and had elisa at
10:52.......
Im not saying labor is bad it was more the
service I got and my parents werent to
impressed either. On top after I had my
daughter they didnt kneed on my belly to
help the placenta out they freaking ripped
it out and that was the most painful part,
I ended up hemoraging and got a buncg of
drugs after. The nurse treated me like
crap threatened me with thing if I dont
eat hospital food I wont be able to leave
or best they kept harrassing me to get
epidural( I had a solution my dad brought
me pizza m<mmmmmmmmm and I went
natural. I have called and made a
complaint they had so many excuses anyways
im going to a birthing center this time I
have talked with ob gyn and they have been
so understanding and helpful just makesure
you voice ur opinions and worries
unfortuantly I didnt last time and I think
thats why I
suffered
contractions hurt dont get me wrong but
people deal with pain differently, I have
a medium-high tolerance for pain and the
only part I couldnt deal with was the
contraction before I felt the need to
push...
Everyone has different stories I dont
regret it, I try to forget about it
because I was given a beutiful girl

I got pregnant when I was 13 and had my
first child when I was 14. I went
full-term and was induced because I wasn't
progressing fast and the Dr. Thought that
I could be experiencing placenta previa.
After 19 hours of hard labor (the epideral
didn't work), I gave birth to my first
son, douglas edward (we call him eddie).
He weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz. And was 20 3/4
inches long. He is now 9.
Two years ago, I gave birth to my second
son. I got induced (a week earlier than
my due date) at around 7:30 in the morning
and gave birth to him at 12:03 in the
afternoon. It was the best experience.
I was kinda scared because of what I had
experienced from my first labor. I was
going to go natural, but those
contractions were strong!!! So, I got
the epideral and it was wonderful!!! I
felt the pressure, but no pain. He
weighed 7 lbs. 15 oz. And was 21 1/2
inches long. His name is caden lee.
I'm really looking forward to having that
baby girl someday! I've run out of baby
boy names, lol.

Wow, ladies, thank you for sharing your
experiences! I am 33 weeks and it's nice
to hear about the easy and not so easy
deliveries. This is our first and to be
honest, I am terrified.
Congrats to everybody! I hope others
continue to post their experiences! I'm
soaking everything up since I am only7
weeks from giving birth.

Good Labours Posted: 10-23-05 06:39am
Hi everyone,
i will tell you about my experience with
labour.
For my first I had a little girl nikola
rose, I went into labour spontaniously, at
first I thought I had wet myself as I had
a leaky bladder towards the end of the
pregnancy, but as soon as I felt this
weird pop inside and a trickle I had
intence pain. Little did I realise it
was this painful I thought to myself I
couldnt go 12 hours with this pain, we
arrived at the hospital at about 3.00.
The nurses asked me how far apart were my
contracions but I didnt have any break
they were on top of each other. As I got
into my room he nurse told me if I feel
the need to do number 2's call, two
seconds after she left the room thats what
I felt it turned out I was fully dilated
they rushed around getting ready for the
birth, at this stage I couldnt believe it
was so quick. I didnt want to move off
the bed even though they said it would be
quicker, it hurt more, after 2 hours of
pushing nikola was born at 6.18am making
my first labour about 4 hours. Couldnt
ask for more than that , she was beautiful
and perfect. I was 41 weeks.
When I got pregnant next, I was petrified
of what the labour would be like, as I
thought surly I couldnt get lucky twice.
I found out I was having a boy which was
great, we picked the name riley. At 28
weeks I developed diabetes and had to go
on insulin. I started seeing an ob/gyn
and he monitered my levels, I feel I didnt
have to go on the insulin but didnt really
have a choice, at nearly 37 weeks I
noticed one night he wasnt as active as
normal I had an appointment on the friday
and the doctor sent me off straight away
for a ultrasound and fetal moniteing, they
found that my little boy had stopped
growing at around 34 weeks and was about
5pound 4 oz. I was put in for an
induction on sunday the 12th june 2005,
this I feel was worse as I knew what was
coming. Anyway after I had my waters
broken and my cervix stretched(ouch) I was
in loubour I got the pain don my leg but
the nurse didnt believe me at first I
started on the drip at just after 11am and
at 12 after just 1hour 10 mins I got the
pushing feeling after 3 pushes riley was
born, rather painful at the time but not
as bad as you think. He weighed 5pound 2
oz and was monited for 24 hours but was
fine. He is now 4 months old and still
small he now weighs 12 pound but its nice
having such a small baby as he still has
that newborn look. Good luck all the
lady's who are about to deliver.
Just remember it cant be that bad I will
go back again next year.

im a first time dad, my baby's due soon.
Im only 17 and scared *%^* less. I have
never admitted this to my gf, but im
starting to think I should. I wanted to
seem like a man for her, because I know
how hard this is on woman, managing the
pain. But maybe I should have a talk to
her and just see wat she's feeling (not
that I dont ask her) but really have a
chat and work out what I can do?
Any one have any advice, should I try sum
video's or teen groups or wat? Im getting
a really hard time for having this
pregnancy, and I just want to start to
relax the date is soon and its getting
intense.
Trav.

I had my first baby 10 months ago a
gorgeous little girl layla jane (i'm now
37 weeks with my second- a boy) I went
into labour after a hard nights clubbing
at 38 weeks. I got in at 1.30am and my
contrations started an hour later. It
felt like bad diahorrea pains in my back
and when I went to the toilet I noticed my
waters had broken and were leaking
gradually.
I called the hospital and they told me not
to come in yet but I ignored them as my
waters had broke and i'd always been told
to go straight in if that happens.
I'd been in labour roughly 5 hours when I
was first examined and told that I was 1-2
cm. I could of cried! The pain was so
intense and I had another 8 cm's to go.
Anyway to cut a long story short I ended
up going 19 hours with just gas and air as
I was dilating really slowly then I got an
epidural and 25 hours after my first
contraction layla was born.
Trust me you don't forget the pain after
but it does seem all worth while and I
concieved again 6 weeks after she was
born!
They second second labours are usually
less so i'm hoping this is the case! Keep
you posted and will write my second birth
story soon

My Delivery Posted: 01-28-06 02:23am
Well lets see...When I was 34 weeks
pregnant my blood pressure went through
the roof..160/100 I was placed on bed rest
and taken out of work. My edd was
10-04-2004 but the friday before when I
went to the doctor for the 2nd time in one
week my doctor decided that the pre
eclapsia had gotten bad and it was best
for me to be induced. I went home got my
bags and went to the hospital. Started
the induction like 2:00 that afternoon and
was in labor from 2:00pm friday until
9:51pm sunday when my son was born via
emergency c-section. 8lbs 10oz 21.5
inches long and his head was 15 and 1/4th
inches. I dont remember much of the whole
ordeal except that by sunday afternoon I
was begging for something for pain. I
spent a total of 6 days in the hospital
and the way I see it. The best 6 days of
my life!!! I would do it all over in a
heart beat.
