I was in labour for 4 hours and 10 minutes, only used gas and air, had shit loads of stitches, and I can honestly say the stitches were worse for me than the labour

my labour started 4am 30th dec 07
continued through the day, came around 3/4pm, i got a 4min contraction every hour (at the time, painful lol) had a bath around 6:30, contractions started to pick up by 9pm, died off. Went bed around 12 midnight. Got about 10min sleep, woke up around 12:20am, contractions every 3-5mins. Go to hos by 1:45, check just after 2am, 4 almost 5 cm.
Then the fun started lmao!
The midwife explained to me, try not to be to brave and go it without pain relief if am in alot of pain, stubborn me, declined.
around 3 probably it got to much asked for gas&air, omg that stuff was horrible for me, i was sick like every 30mins.
probably around 5:30 i asked for pethdine, amazing stuff!! it didnt stop the pain i was in at all, i should taken it earlier!!
Got checked at 6, 8 almost 9cm, around 6:25, i felt like i didnt to push and mw didnt want check as it hadnt been very long but she did in the end, i was fully dilated, broke my waters, amber was out in 10mins. 6:47am 8lb 10oz
she was lucky to be alive, her cord had been knotted over and over again, they were shocked how she was getting any air.
sorry it abit long.

I was in labour for 49 hours straight!

I was 37 weeks and the contraction started on Wednesday at 3 a.m.,were getting stronger and stronger for the first 24 hours but they told me I wasn't dialated enough!
Finally at 3 a.m. Thursday my water broke and I was admitted,they started me on pitocin and I got an epidural,and it wasn't till 20 hours later that I was fully dialated and 4 more hours of pushing that Lola was born.
Miraculously I didn't have lots of stitches....

i was induced 39weeks because lexi was small (yeahh right) and i was already in 'slow labor' for a week beforehand, so went to hospital at 8am, didnt get a bed in delivery until 3oclock and lexi arrived at 12.15, had gas and air, pehtidine and an epidural.
no stiches but a 'graze' which made me unable to go to the toilet for about a week unless i forced myself hehe it was SO sore.
