"Labor" day

In honor of Labor Day, it's about...well, labor.  And not the kind you get a day off for, either.

How long were your labors? 

Kid #1, 4 hours.  
Kid #2, 2 hours 
Kid #3, 2 hours. 

My girls were good to me and they were all early: 3 days, 12 days and 12 days

How did you know you were in labor? 

Kid #1, Contractions so strong we didn't know when one ended and the next one started  
Kid #2, Tummy tightening in the 38 week, called Dr., went in was already dialated half way
Kid #3, Went into labor on exam table at Dr. appt.

My water never broke with any of them

Where did you deliver?

A hospital. I wanted to deliver Baby #1 at home but that wasn't the "thing" to do in NC.  For baby #3 the male assistant (not sure if he was a nurse or just some aide) said he could deliver in the hall if need be, thank you lord for that not happening.

Drugs?

no, natural child birth

C-section? 

see above

Who delivered?

Doctors,

If you want to play along with this meme, just cut and paste the questions into your own blog. This was courtesy of Shannon over at: http://rocksinmydryer.typepad.com

Hi Cheri :)

Great meme. Both of my kids were emergency c-sections. I'm still not sure if that was a bad or a good thing LOL

I've forgotten labor. I honestly can't say who, what, when, where & why. I love my children though. ;-)

I've given Elayna a 2 week notice to vacate the premises. Hopefully she'll come while yall are out here and then you'll have a newborn to play with! Can't wait to see you.
