hi iam libby ive had 3 children the first two were boys and i felt no pain i was still doing house work while having contractions and when they were being born they flew out the whole labour was only 4 1/2 hours from begining to end but with my third it was diferent ,i decide to stay home till the waters broke as i hated hospitals ,when the contractions become harder and closer the pain was horrible i felt cold then hot, i sat on the floor with the heater near me and when the contrations came id kick the wardrobe .netherless to say when the waters broke my daughter did not want to wait so the ambulance got there to late so my husband had to deliver her himself and to make it worst i had to wait till i got to the hospital till i could deliver the placenta which caused more pain than the delivery itself .i could not walk for 4 days propally because of the presure the placenta had put on my spine.but overall it was ok and worth it .
if anyone wants to chat about their experiences you can either email me or chat on yahoo .i can seem to be able to pm anyone .
