My son was born July 10th, 2008 at 12:16 pm. After 9 months, 1 day, 10 hours and 54 minutes of labor, an epidural, two episiotomies, and a pair of forceps to pull out my 7 lb 5.1 ounce child ... I FINALLY got to see him up close and personal. How about you?

My son was born July 9th, a week before his due date to the day. I was actually supposed to work the day I had him, but maybe I had some weird intuition becasue I had gotten someone to cover me before hand. I got to the hospital at 10am and had Branson at 2:40pm. All the nurses were surprised and I guess kinda impressed about it since he was my first child. I guess I had it very easy with him, but man, thank goodness for the epidural because the back labor was all I had and it was horrible...

My daughter was born 15th July 2008. I woke at 2:17am to a contraction - wasn't impressed as I'd had fake contractions the last 2 nights - went to the toilet, my water broke but I didn't know then went back to bed to try and sleep. Got up just before 3am rang the hospital who told me to come in. I packed my sons stuff to stay at a friends and off we went. Just made it to the hospital where she was born 100% natural after 2 1/2hrs of labour :) She weighed 9lb 5oz. It was a great birth unlike my sons where I was induced and drugged to the eyeballs and need the venthouse vacuum to get him out :) And he was only 7lb 15oz!! He did not want to come out whereas my daughter literally flew out and the midwife had to readjust pretty quick to catch her :)

My son was born July 13, 2008 at 6:15pm.. He came 10 days early.. I went into labor naturally that Sunday morning.. Had about 4 contractions at home.. Water broke and I didn't know it (I must have been in the shower).. Had to get gas on the way to the hospital.. Arrived at 2pm and was 2cm, 80%.. at 4pm I was 4cm, got my epidural (YEAH).. at 5pm I was 5cm.. about 5:30pm I felt pressure in my bottom.. Nurse came in and checked.. I was 10cm!! They got the room ready, I pushed through 3 contractions and he was here.. Hope the next one is just as easy.

Quoting Jaimie:
July 29th educed natural labor at 4:29 after finally convincing the nurse i was ready to push. She thought I had peed myself not that my water broke went from two cm to ten in 45 mins and after a little hand from the dr and turning baby alot of stitches later I got to meet the most beautiful little bundle of love I have ever seen
my daugher was born on Tues 29th July too!! at 9.24am. I was induced on Mon morning but nothing started to happen until I was given the 2nd gel. Had a shower at 2am as I had really strong pains but when the nurse checked me she said I had a while to go as I wasn't dilated. So was given an injection of pethedine and slept for 4 hours, woke with major pains, went to the toilet and on returning my waters broke. Called the nurse, she did an internal and I was 7cm dilated, went up to delivery suite around 7-ish (can't remember properly) the pethedine made me feel quite fuzzy! Had some gas and air to help, no epidural, 10cm by nearly 9am started pushing, after 24mins and an epesiotomy and vacuum out she popped!!

July 1st at 4:23am. My son was 3.1kg and 48 cm long. I was 38 weeks exactly. I was in labor for 23 hours and had an epidural after 17 hours. Pushed for two hours and was being prepared for a vacuum, when I vomited and my son decided to enter the world (finally)!
For the next one I'm going to go without the epidural...hopefully. I can't wait to expand my family:)
