Did you have a difficult labour? If so, what went wrong?

Emma says:
First labour was terrifying. Had an epeisiotomy then a third degree tear on top of that, almost ripped my bowel. Took aver 3 months to recover. Second birth (also natural) was a joy in comparison. Hopefully number 3 will be as good.
Kim says:
NO not at all. But I did have a blood transfusion because I lost alot of blood.

i had c-section because i was in hospital for a week with prostein gel and i didnt even dilate (he just didnt wanna come out)
Lou says:
Yes, my waters broke 6 months early so they had 2 stop it, then when i did go into labour, i was left 4 days with no waters, i had a retained plecenta and the midwife i had was so bad
Emma says:

Kelly says:
No
Leanne says:
no
Heather says:
oh yes. had to be induced at 7:30am.. 5:15pm, my water finally broke.. 7:30am the next morning, i was finally 5cm.. 10:30am, i was 10cm & started pushing.. 3 hours later, another doctor decided i needed an emergency c-section.

Kimberley says:
no it was perfect the only thing that wasnt so good was my contractions stopped so i was doing all the pushing by my self
Michelle says:
I wouldn't say that. I tend to have long labors, which made my first difficult because we developed "impatient doctor syndrome." My third I guess was difficult because she was born feet first, but it all happened so quickly (45 minutes -- TOTAL). Then my youngest was born by necessary c-section partly because of a problem caused by my first (unnecessary) c-section.
