Home/Hosp. birth story Pt. 3 of 4

my story after I was transferred to the hospital. I had to get an epidural and a forceps delivery

Note: My son did not have any bruising or side-effects from the forceps. He did have major swelling of the head (cone head) due to him being wedged in my pelvis


Leave me questions and video ideas if you guys want to know more about home birth or labour

oxytocin post birth SUX but then hospitals SUCK for childbirth without good reason.

Internals are not necessary at all.

Well done on your birth!

Couldn't your midwife have tucked in the baby's chin while you were still at home? How did the doctor do this?

[BreathlessEndeavours]

I completely agree. The pain after the baby was born was worse than the actual labour itself. Sad part is when you don't expect it, it just feels so shocking and hard. I wish I'd read somewhere that the labour after pains would be so difficult and that recovery would take a while on the body.

Unfortunately being pregnant means you lose all modesty LOL Good thing I never really had any anyway. I'm sorry that you didn't get the birth that you wanted. Good luck in the future ones, tho. Glad the baby is healthy.

I'm glad that your baby is healthy as well as you. Thank you for sharing your experience.

@rddbba Oxytocin and Pitocin are the same medication, just different names. it also goes by the name syntocinon. It is the same hormone your body makes naturally during labour, as well as during breastfeeding. It is routine to give this medicine post delivery as it reduces the risk of post partum hemorrhage, though breastfeeding the baby immediately after birth will also have the same effect.

Thanks for sharing your story. I am sorry your birth didn't work out the way you wanted. I also had a planned natural birth with my son, but it ended with a c-section.He was born at a maternity clinic in Japan. It was a huge shock and really hard to deal with. I am due in July with #2 and we have some great midwifes to help us this time, so we will have a home birth (hbac) this time around. (in Canada) Thanks again.

Great job staying calm and positive about your experience! Way to go mommy! You CAN hace a VBAC - vaginal birth after cesarean. I'm glad you made the right choice for your family! Praise G-d for your success! May y'all be blessed!

birth before? Couse I could not hold back on the pushing! I think I had about 4-6 minutes with active pushing and he was out. After one hour I had no problems with brestfeeding him.

I want to do the same next time I'm having a baby, but I've been told that no labor is the same, so I can only hope that it will turn out the same way as the first. Ofcourse I had pains during labor but I still did'nt want any pain relief, and not going to next time either...I hope. Thanks again for sharing

Hi! Thanks for sharing your story! I had a vaginally birth myself whan I was 19. It took about 4,5 hours from the contractions started until I had him in my arms. No problems during labor, and no kind of pain relief. I had a small tearing (4 stisches) and about 200 ml blood loss. When it comes to the pushing, haha, they told me not to. And when they told me, I thought to myself ; ok, I know that they have done this before (couse its their job, but have they ever given
