My dad was over 12 pounds when he was born

Then your a bigger girl than I am because that shit hurt! The contractions were a killer.....I don't know if they were stronger or not because labor was induced or not.

I didn't head to the hospital until they were 5 mins apart... I just waited and waited... I got to the hospital (30min drive) and I was about 5 cm's ... I was asked if I wanted it and was quite hostile with the response... LOL... more like take that shit out of my face NOW! lol

It hurt... yes.. and I also had some problems afterwards with my uterus and excessive bleeding and had to endure a few fists into my belly trying to stop it all. I was bruised from tit to knees it seemed... LOL. But the pains of labor are not what stuck in my mind. I didn't have classes though... and my most vivid memory is my mother telling me that I really did have to breath... It seemed I was just holding my breath in hopes that it would all feel better if I did. Poor nurse got puked all over too... LOL

I see your daughter is a quick learner. Follows in her mothers footsteps, eh?

thats pretty fucking sick bro.

I was nearly 10 lbs. He was telling me last night that enormous babies run in our family.



I want DRUGS!

You should have tried birth control. It has been my experience that it is virtually painless and sometimes you feel too little.

Holy cow with babies that big, adoption would have been a more viable option. Poor thing! I feel for you!

bigger girl than me, too. Frisky is tough. I bet that baby could have come out sideways and she wouldn't have screamed. Tough as nails girl, there.

LMAO! I was a puker too! my first I had natty 72 hours of labor sucked tho.
the second was only 15 or so hours, with him I got the epidural because I turned into the devil, it was freaking painful. I had excessive bleeding too and tore big time.ouch! I'm done having kids.

Oh, shit, I never puked once during my pregnancy, puked my brains out when I went into labor, too ... anyway, I went natural, my son was 8 lb. 14 oz, the LABOR hurt (I have a very bad back, so I had back labor, which is why I was afraid of anesthetic and went natural, no one is sticking needles between my vertebrae), the delivery, while not pleasant was not the worst part. Practice your Kiegels.

How do you feel about episiotomies? All the research I've done makes me think that they are more harm than good.

This entire pregnancy, so far, I have had back pain and uterine pain and gas EVERY DAMN DAY. That is about it, except for sore boobs, but the back pain starts to wear on my mood, bigtime. Makes me weepy.

Shit I was almost as bad ... my ex had a bunch of buddies over and they had a few drinks and he was out cold. I had been feeling uncomfortable but kept trying to pretend it was something else. I didn't wake him UP until the pains were less than 5 minutes apart and then I said, "Uh, something may be going on." He asks me if I'm sure I'm like, "hell, I don't know."

I still ended up being in labor for another 12 hours, shit that sucked.

We did the classes ... my ex was useless ... come delivery time all I wanted was to GET IT OUT! I'm preoccupied with pushing and the doctor keeps telling me I have to breath, my ex gets in my face and bellows "BREATH!"

What a clusterfuck ... my son's first independent act on this plane was to piss all over his father. Good kid
