I also went natural... but they did give me pitocen during my two hours of pushing. After about an hour of pushing and 16+ hours of no food, I was so weak and tired I was falling asleep between contractions. I just didn't have enough in me to push any harder... until they gave me pit and the contractions got a bit harder. Hooray for beautiful new babies!<br /><br />ps. I tried using the tub... did NOT work for me. It was aweful, in fact. Did like the bouncy ball. Most of all I liked to be sitting up in the rocking chair they had in my room. They made me stay monitored... but at least I wasn't laying down!Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624558841231207858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449137189263457728.post-56597358467415149742009-09-04T06:22:47.964-06:002009-09-04T06:22:47.964-06:00Oh, Also I meant to say that both labors at a poin...Oh, Also I meant to say that both labors at a point I started telling Avram that I couldn't do this, and that we weren't going to have any more kids, and we weren't even going to have this kid, and I was done. And then it turned out I was in transition - sounds like you had the same experience.Veiltenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412531353831549320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449137189263457728.post-14889781157891590042009-09-04T06:19:20.778-06:002009-09-04T06:19:20.778-06:00(This is Thora, not Avram, obviously)
That was a ...(This is Thora, not Avram, obviously)<br /><br />That was a great story! I was worried in the middle that they would pressure you to have a C-section just to make it easier on them, or something. I'm glad you stuck it out without being forced with further medical interventions - I'm impressed. I think you're the first natural birth I've personally heard of with Pitocin. You gave birth in basically the same position I did with my girls - I couldn't stand lying down either.<br /><br />(By the way, next time, feel free to sneak all the food you want. The reason they don't want you to eat is because if you get an epidural, it can make you nauseous, and throw up. If you're not planning on an epidural, eating can help you.)Veiltenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412531353831549320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449137189263457728.post-10057139811416708862009-09-03T16:03:43.622-06:002009-09-03T16:03:43.622-06:00Whew.

I read the whole thing. :)<br /><br />Both of my babies came on their own just over two weeks early, and, once contractions started in earnest, both were delivered incredibly quickly (almost too quickly with Caleb). After hearing stories like yours of women being in labor for 24 ish hours makes me feel sorta lucky that mine come the way they do. So, go you!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13827607152706015982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449137189263457728.post-13559270349783053792009-09-03T15:45:38.422-06:002009-09-03T15:45:38.422-06:00Beautiful.

And then after five hours of labor in the hospital I was starving. In fact, I was so hungry I was nauseous and threw up after I ate. Next time I will have food in there with me so I don't throw up again. I think it surprised the nurse that I would throw up after not eating. Maybe I'll have a couple bananas since they're easy to digest. :) sigh. That not eating was THE hardest part about labor and delivery.

I'm so pleased that you had Claudia with you too because she is wonderful and so supportive. <br /><br />I'm proud of you both--no, I'm proud of all three of you. Kiss that sweet baby for me and know that you are an amazing HypnoBirthing family, and I'm honored to know you.<br /><br />so much love,<br /><br />Launi<br /><br />PS I would love permission to put your story on my blog...if you'd like.
