i wish my labor was....:

Is there anything you would change about your labor(s) or birth(s)? Personally I wish mine had been longer :-/ and I wish I had a home birth every time..

With my son i wouldn't change anything.
With my daughter i wish i didn't get an epidural and i wish didnt have to be induced.

Mine was faster Thani would have liked too. Although with back labor I wouldn't have wanted it any longer, but I wish I would have remembered to bring my relaxation music. Everything went so fast.

I wish I didn't have to push for 2 and a half hours with back labor.  

I wish my labor with my first had been a good day shorter. (42 hours of hard labor) and I also wish I had been more informed about the meds.
With my second, I'm really happy with how my labor went. 11 hours start to finish, all natural, no tearing.

I wish my last one was longer. It was only 2 hours long and because of that the pain was pretty intense. Otherwise it was pretty awesome so I'm still really happy with it.

Longer! if that doesnt sound crazy haha...
I felt totally ripped off!!

Yeah, I didn't get to use the birth pool.. or do birthing from within crafts :-(

I wish I could have the best of both worlds, a homebirth with minimal intervention and like in the hospital have someone to there 24/7 for the first couple days afterwards to make and serve all my meals, help me with breastfeeding and just baby me a little. LOL!

I also wish that mine would have been longer. I have often been called a liar because people don't believe that it's even possible for labor to be as short as mine was. My doctor could barely believe it. I was in labor for exactly 45 minutes total. My doctor is afraid I wont make it to the hospital with my next Lol.. I guess I get it from my grandmother though, her longest labor was 4 hours and shortest was 1.5 hours.

oops.. double post!

I have heard precipitous births are just as painful as a long labor but the pain is more concentrated. I kinda wish we would have had time for the water birth I was imagining.

I wish i wasn't induced, not told anything that was going on, been streched to a 3 from a .5. Had my water broken, or the epi i got.....


I wish my daughters heart didn't flat line, i wish i could of seen her sooner than an hour after her birth, i wish the nurses didn't give her bottles and nuks before i could even hold her 9 hours later to try and bf.




I hated every second....
