Hey yall...It's like 2:00 here in .New
.Orleans and I was bored so I busted out
.Kayoni's birth video.
I didn't cry when she was born, but I
balled when I watched it later that
night.
I was watching "birth day" on the
discovery channel and I wanted to see my
angel being born again. I swear i've
never cried so hard as I just did watching
her little body come from inside of me!!!
This thread really has no point, I just
felt like sharing!! :cry:

I'm probably a big freak, but I honestly
have no interest in having my sensitive
bits videotaped. I'm already a bit afraid
of the concept of squeezing a human body
through such a small opening, and the
possibility of tearing or needing an
episiotomy. I'll probably decline a
mirror as well... I'll just ask my
husband to keep an eye on the goings-on
downstairs and let me know when he sees
her head. There are just some things i'd
rather not re-visit.
*shiver*
i just want my baby out. I'm not wrapped
up in the actual process.

Lol...I bet you change your mind girl!! I
thought I would be the same way because I
hate the sight of blood...It's just
somehting that goes through your brain
while you're in labor....
I had her drug free and had no medical
intervention with her delivery. Call me
crazy...But I find the birthing process an
amazing process!!!

I panic just thinking about it :( and i'm
actually considering my options as far as
pain management now. I've heard that
labor progresses more quickly if you don't
get an epidural. I'm pretty sure I won't
be able to handle it (i don't have a pain
tolerance that i'm aware of) but i'm
trying to keep open-minded.

Maybe I can drive up to help you!!
Lol....Naaah...That would be awkward
huh?!?! But at least we're in the same
state!!!
I didn't know if I would be able to handle
it...But by the time I got to the hospital
I was 5cm and it was 5 pm. By 7:58pm she
was out!! I pushed through 6 good
contractions and here she was!!!

It was really funny because they asked my
sister if she wanted a mirror and she said
no....She didn't want to watch. Well as
she was pushing the doctor was like just
reach down here and touch your baby's
head, my sister was like no....And the
doctor kept pushing her to touch the head
and my sister was like, no I don't want to
get dirty.....And my mom was like (to the
doctor) she isn't going to do it and I
think that she is getting mad. So the
doctor stopped. Then once the baby was
fully out to doctor tossed (that is what
it seemed like) the baby on my sister's
stomach and she was forced to kinda catch
it so that it didn't fall on the floor and
she started crying, "i didn't want to get
dirty, get it off of me I don't want to
get dirty" it was really funny
i guess the point is, I don't think she
was too keen on watching or really being
too involved in the birth of the baby.
It was weird to see her . She kinda just
seperated herself from the birth.

.Sarah you only had two choices in your
poll. I didn't record the birth, not
because the hospital wouldn't allow it,
but because i'm not comfortable with the
idea of immortalizing my vagina. :lol:
although it probably would have come in
handy if I had actually had to file a
malpractice suit against my doc....Trust
me, I still remember every moment of it
vividly. That's an experience (and pain)
that I won't ever forget...

I don't think I could've handled getting
my labour videoed, I didn't even look in a
mirror although the midwife keep trying to
get me to, its just not something that
interested me at all, the pain was bad
enough just knowing what was happening let
alone watching it!

We werent allowed to video tape anything..
Only pics b4 the birth and after he was
out and made sure he was okay.. My bf was
going to tape it.. He never asked me
lol.. I prolly wo uldnt have wanted it
taped at the time I was in so much pain
lol and enuf ppl were already starin
between my legs.. Although they could
have invited the whole city if they
wanted,. I just wanted him out lol.. But
I kinda wish I had more to remember that
experience with... For 9 months u carry
this child.. U know how the birth process
works and whats going to happen.. But
once it actually happens, and u actually
acomplish it. At least for me.. I was
amazed.. Words cant even describe it..For
9 months u wait for it.. And when it
happens.. It seems like a miracle.. I
was kinda thinking most of the time when I
was holding him.. How did I just do
that?! And my bf kept saying 'can you
believe the 2 of us made him!?' once they
come out its just amazing to think that
they were alive inside you

Lol...The main reason why I recorded it
was so when she gets pregnant i'll show
her that I was able to do it drug free.
Maybe it'll give her the strength to do it
herself.
I loved every second of it!!!

Sarah, how long were you having
contractions before you went to the
hospital? Just curious how long it took
for you to get to 5 cm.

I woke up that morning at about 8am with
mild contractions. I thought they were
braxton hicks at first. I tried laying
down, drinking water, everything.
They went from every 3/4 mins. Apart to
about every 2/3 mins apart at about 12pm.
I went and ran a couple of last minute
errands while I was contracting. At about
4:30 I wasn't able to speak through a
contraction and they were getting closer
together. At 5pm I was 5cm. At 6:30 I
was 7/8 and my water broke while she was
examining me. At 7 they checked me again
and I was 9 1/2, 10 and she told me
whenever I was ready to start pushing. I
had no choice, by 7:30 my body was bearing
down for me. I pushed through 6 good
contracions and she was here at 7:58pm!!
It was faster that I thought it would be.
I'm glad I didn't get the epidural or any
pain meds. Or an .I.V!!
Good luck with your decision!! If you
have any questions...Feel free to ask
me!
Sarah

Wow, so about 12 hours then? No meds?
You're my hero, .Sarah! *cry*

bad was the pain? And what's your pain
tolerance like normally?

I have a pretty high pain tolerance. And
a sever phobia of needles. After I
delivered, I was running a fever of 103.
And needed an .I.V to start
antibiotics...I threw a fit!!! Even
though I had just pushed out a baby with
no meds.
I ain't gonna lie, the pain was
there....But I had such tunnel vision and
was literally out of body. I just laid
there and let my body do all the work. My
"midwife" or she should've been, told me
to loosen my body and wiggle the pain out
of my toes. In the video you can see my
toes and feet wiggling the whole time...
My delivery was extreemely quick for a 1st
timer....Everyone was shocked!!!
You can do eeeeetttt!!!

I agree with you babymagic0506 if I can do
it with a 10 lb 2oz baby and no drugs
anyone should be able to to do it unless
their is complications or a c-section and
he tore me up pretty good I just got
something light when they were sewing me
up but it is different strokes for
different females and sure the pain is
there but it only lasts for a little while
and to me the blocks and stuff just holds
the birth back of course I am no Dr.
