Your baby's labor and delivery is like no other in the world. Let others know what your experience was like.

• The Coolest Experience of My Life
  My husband and I conceived our first baby shortly after our second wedding anniversary (a fact which inspired several jokes from my dad about what we may have done on our anniversary vacation).
• Not How I Planned but Worth It
  My due date came and went as I had expected. When I was offered a cervical sweep, I jumped at the chance of anything to speed things along.
• Long, Overdue but All Worth It
  It was about 4 p.m.
• Big Bouncing Boy
  I fell pregnant with my first baby shortly after my 21st birthday. Although it was a shock we soon settled to the idea of being parents.
• Dakota's Entrance
  Although my daughter is 8 years old now, it's remarkable how clearly I remember her birth. Based on my mother's pregnancies I expected to go past my due date.
• 19 Hours of Labor and the Doctor Had to Assist
  This is the birth story of Joy Jubilee to Jenn and Orlund. As my husband and I went to bed Tuesday night I decided it was my last night for a good sleep, as I was sure I'd be in labor Wednesday night as we were to be induced Thursday morning.
• Well Worth the Wait
  I had gone to the doctor that day for my 40-week appointment and he said that because my cervix was still thick, I would probably be getting induced the following week.
• Not as Painful as I Thought It Would Be
  My son, Franklin, was born at 6 p.m.
• Overdue and Damaged
  I had a bleed at 33 weeks pregnant with my first baby and was admitted to the hospital for four days.
• Baby No. 1 After Eight Years Together
  I discovered I was pregnant for the first time on December 5, 2005. My husband of two years Dave and I were so excited, even though the baby wasn't planned – not unwanted, in fact, a very happy surprise!
• Molly's Birth
  I first felt Braxton Hicks contractions when I was about 35 weeks pregnant.
• Big Overdue Baby, C-section
  When I found out I was pregnant I was so shocked. By the time I was just 9 weeks into the pregnancy I was already showing.
• First Birth
  My due date was June 24, 1995, and as my sister who was due 10 days before me and had actually delivered on this date exactly, I had no reason not to think the same thing would happen to me. So every day that I went over was like a year.
• 10-pound Baby and a 6-month Cruise
  This is going to be a bit long. Sorry about that.
• Two Weeks Late, Wrong Date Given
  I told the doctors that I knew my day of conception and had no more than a week of error. I was sure.
