- One Week Overdue and Miserable
Being pregnant I had thought for so long would be the greatest thing ever!
Yet, it turned out to be a lot more difficult than I had planned! - Two Weeks Late
I was due November 9 and I was several days past. Everyday I had to go to
the doctor to be checked and hoped to get the baby inside me out into the
world. - Five-Hour Labor, Overdue and Induced
I was induced with my first child because I was two weeks overdue. It took
two hours for it to kick in. - Two Days Overdue, Almost Unbearable
With me being sent home from the hospital so many times, I was beginning to
wonder if my baby was ever going to be born. I was sleeping when I first
started to go into labor. - Induced, Epidural
I had a textbook pregnancy. Very little morning sickness, which ended at
three months. - Overdue, Long Labor, Induced
This was my first child. I was 18 years old at the time, so I thought it was going to be an easy labor. - Morning Sickness; Induced, Epidural, Episiotomoy
I found out I was pregnant in March of 1998. It was our first child and we weren't quite ready. - Where's the Doctor?
Besides a brief stay in the hospital for a kidney infection, my pregnancy was pretty uneventful. I worked up until I was due. - Cervidil, Induced, 27-Hour Labor!
Nov. 7, 1998 -- My doctor had me arrive at 6 a. - First Birth; Scheduled C-section
I stopped working on May 7 so that I would have two
weeks to rest and finish getting the nursery together
for Richard Sean's arrival. Well, May 24, my due date,
came and went. - My First Birth, Induced, Big Baby
My first pregnancy was pretty good outside the first 3 months of nausea
and vomiting. My midwife told me that my baby would weigh about 7 pounds. - Bed Rest, Induction, BIG Baby!!
My pregnancy was going along fairly uneventful until I started
having contractions at 28 weeks . My husband was out of town, so I drove myself at
2:00 a. - Uncomplicated, Unmedicated, Long Labor, 2 Weeks Overdue
I had three different due dates. So we finally settled on April 28,1996. - 13 Hour Labor, Epidural, With A Cold And Fever
My
labor and delivery did not turn out as I had imagined it would. I always
pictured having the contractions at home, waiting for them to be five minutes
apart, and then leaving for the hospital where I would then give birth. - Big Baby, Induced, No Drugs!
There's nothing like going into your OB's office already knowing more than
he does! I knew I was pregnant (three pregnancy tests couldn't all be
false!
