4. Was in labor for 13 hours before I hemorrhaged and had an emergency csection.

2. - had morning sickness the whole time.

3. Experienced back labor for the first time, not realizing it was labor!

4. Contractions started at 6 pm I went to the hospital at 2 am by myself because I wasn't sure if it was real labor!

5 was told at 4 am that my baby would be delivered by 6 am via c section.

6 didn't cry even though my contractions got to.2-3 minutes apart.i was a big girl! Lol.

Talicia24 labor is a tricky thing! And pregnancy has the weirdest time with popping up on folks. Lol i didn't cry either with contractions 1 minute apart at 7 centimeters! We are big girls hunny! Lol good job!

Lol @sobie I would just grab the rails of the bed and stare at this bottle of hand sanitizer! I was fine as long as people weren't talking to me! It's like when they talked to me I wanted to hit them. Lol.

Yes Taliciaf24! And while I'm in labor, my husband's baby momma calls him to ask is this the only child he's been In the delivery room with. Smh she lucky her ass is down south! I've been laboring one minute apart for 3 hours at 7 almost 8 centimeters and she call with that bullshit? I'm gonna get her. Lol

Lol @tali me too! I was thinking the whole time, "I'm in labor people-let me concentrate!"
Ok lemme try this again. Lost my last post lol.

1. I knew I was preggo pretty quickly, but I was afraid to get my hopes up so soon.
2. I craved all Italian food, Oreos, pineapple, and Sonic's hot fudge sundaes. Even the thought of Chinese food actually made me sick.
3. Both of our dogs were extra protective while I was preggo, but my boy dog Rusty would snuggle with me and bump all the time. Slept through h his kicks too!
4. We opted to induce because hubs was leaving for training a wk after I was due.
5. Labored 14+ hr. Went naturally for 12, then got an epidural. It worked on the less painful side only, then got full effect 1 hr later, and I still felt every bit of pushing!
6. My son's b-day is exactly 2 wks after my b-day.

Reply #15 by BabyDeanmakes3 on 09 Dec, 2013 00:07
Lol! @sobie I knew prob around 3 wks-unbelievable heartburn, ate everything, super sore boobs. (Hubs thought so too but didn't say anything.) I had bub at 40+3.

1. I knew I was pregnant 4 days after missing my period especially since I had sex everyday during my fertile period according to my period app.

2. Thanks to my mom and her fascination of twins I found out it was twins @6 weeks.

3. According to my doctor I had the perfect pregnancy up until 33weeks.

4. My birthing experience was horrible.

5. I swore I was having girls cuz I wanted them so bad and made the techs reassure me until birth it was still boys.

6. Thanks to my congenital heart failure I left the hospital 10lbs lighter then my pre pregnancy weight now im 20lbs lighter.

Knscheck I'm 15 pounds from pregnancy weight. I only gained 10 pounds the whole pregnancy. I wanted a boy. Hell... my father is still paying my car note and I've been married for 4 years. ... I don't want no girl. Lol
Reply #18 by knschenck on 09 Dec, 2013 06:24
@ sobie I wasn't gaining much till the very end. My doctor only wanted me 2 gain 15 and I think I gained about 25. My clothes really didn't stop fitting until my 7th month. Most of it was water weight.

1. I knew I was preggo before I even missed my period.
2. On January 30th we found out we were having twins.
3. On February 15th we were told I miscarried both babies.
4. 3rd week in March, we found out I was still preggo with one.
5. I had a placental abruption at 20 ish weeks. Was placed on bedrest for over a month. When I got off bedrest, I could barely walk.
6. I craved milk and McDonalds chicken nuggets (which I absolutely hate).
7. Horrible heartburn and acid reflux.
8. At 30 weeks, I started measuring larger.
9. My water started breaking when I got up from the toilet (total lol moment).
10. I was 35.6 weeks. Worst contractions ever. I cried like a lil bitch.
11. Got an epidural. Stuck at 7 cm. They gave me pitocin. Baby's heart tones started dropping so they performed an emergency c section.

Katie was born at 7lbs, 8 oz. Sugars were low so they brought her to NICU. I started throwing up the next day. 4 days later I developed a mechanical blockage which caused my right lung to collapse which put me in icu with a breathing machine. It finally resolved itself. Was sent home. Then developed an infection in my mouth because the breathing machine cracked my tooth and the nurses in icu didn't clean out my mouth and bacteria formed. Back in the hospital for iv antibiotics. Sent me home finally. I was antibiotics for 2 months after delivery.
