Happy Labor Day!


Shannon, from Rocks in My Dryer posted this fun Meme in honor of Labor Day. I thought it was fun so I'm playing along!
This one is all about labor - not the holiday type!

How long were your labors?
Kid 1 - 16 hours
Kid 2 - 24 hours (maybe this was because she weighed 9'6"!)
Kid 3 - 10 hours

How did you know you were in labor?
Kid 1 - water broke
Kid 2 - Pain! (there was nothing easy about her birth, but she was an easy baby once she came!)
Kid 3 - regular contractions

Where did you deliver?
All three, in the hospital. It took long enough that there was no problem getting there!

Drugs?
None. Not that I didn't want them. With all three, it was too soon when I asked, then all of a sudden, it was too late!

C-Section?
No - regular delivery for all of them.

Who Delivered?
Again - there was no problem with the Dr getting there to do it, so he delivered all three.

That's it. You may play along if you like. Otherwise - hope you enjoy your Labor Day!

    Kid 1: 25 hours of hard labor with a total of about 36 hours ending in a c- section.
    Kid 2 and 3 were C-Sections

    Mari,

    WOW that definitely takes the definition of Labor Day to a completely whole new level.

    Thanks for sharing all these wonderful details about becoming a mom with all of us. Here is hoping that you are spending the day relaxing!

    Love and Hugs ~ Kat

    Labor Day + labor stories = FUN

    Enjoyed this...ouch on #2!

    My first was 9 lb. and too big to fit into the cute newborn clothes I had ready.

    Both by c-section and I had them knock me out completely for both. A little squeamish when it comes to blood :-) My first came 3 weeks late, the second was 3 weeks early.

    My baby will be 23 this week. Long enough that the awful pregnancy (lost weight rather than gained it) and post-surgery pain are only dim memories. Of course, as soon as they laid her in my arms, it was all worth it :-) It always is, isn't it?!

    Cute Meme and cute pic.

    Let's see, I was in labor for about 5 years - that's how long it took to adopt Ryan.

    I enjoyed reading your answers. Mine were so unusual, especially the girls, that I couldn't do this. It wouldn't make a lick of sense. I've come to the conclusion that there isn't much in my life that fits nicely in a compact q & a format. It just makes me all the more special, right? :)

    When I was pregnant with Gracie, I told the Dr that I deliver fast. And I wasn't lying- the Dr missed the delivery.
    The nurse lifted up my sheet to check on me and there was Gracie on the bed.

    Whew, no drugs with a nine pounder. Mine with no drugs was only six pounds. Good for you ;)
