Thanks for the coffee and Cinnabon that hits the spot. The doctor is due any minute to break her water or actually I think there was talk about stripping the membrane or something. We'll see, I'm flying white-knuckled at this point.

I didn't give birth to my two oldest so that birth was easy. <g> My 16 month old was breach. Apparently I have a heart shaped uterus. I know probably TMI. I had to have a C-section so it was really easy. I never had any labor pains and I got 8 weeks off of work instead of 6. Piece of cake.

I hope the baby comes soon and your DW is doing well!

Originally Posted By sherrytodd Oh I hope I'm not too late. After 16 hours of labor I throttled the nurse and demanded an epi. I got over the fear of the needle in my spine.

Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD Wow sherrytodd, 22 hours. I can't imagine. I would have throttled anything within reach.
Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x my first was 4 hours, my second 4 hours of hard labor (I had been in labor for several hours but didn't know, until I went to the ER because I hadn't felt the baby move).
