okay.
i was enduced.
walked in at 5 am that morning and had my son 4:26 that afternoon. i got my epidural around 8 am. they poped the sac at around 7 when they gave the the enducing meds. i was hooked up to a fluid bag because you cant eat or drink anything except the popcicles they give you, or ice cubes. when i started contracting the hardest i was going to get, they made me push. i pushed for two hours. 1...2...3...4...5..6..7...8...9..10. you have to hold your breath and push as they count. each time you contract, they make you push. i had 4 nurses and a doctor in there as well as my family and husband and best friend. that room was crowded. they will hook you up to a cathiter and as they tell you to push, they will put a heart moniter on your baby's head. my son still has a mark from his and hes a yr old. they will sit you up and turn you on your sides, trying to see which is the best position to help slid the baby out. they keep changing-pads beneath you and change them from time to time because of the blood and fluids. when my son was breaching, my doctor was stupid and just left his head sticking out of me and grabbed for his foresceps and my son slid out onto the bed, which my doctor had all his tools and metal objects on and wasnt ready to catch my son. he slid all over those tools. i was pissed!!! and my husband cut the cord. so as they weighed my son and cleaned him off, the doctor said "relax, and just breath" and he pushed twice on my stomach and the amneotic sac came out. it was so weird. but my epidural ran out about 5 minutes before my son was born, so it only covered to contractions. and then they sew you up. the sewing hurt worse than the cutting (they cut you before the baby tears you). and then they hand you your child. although if you plan to breast feed, they wont make the suggestion until a few hours, to let your baby get used to the real world. they will put vasoline over the child's eyes to keep them from drying out and the skin will look like its peeling and will be covered in like a "peach fuzz". they are grey for about 5 minutes but pink up really fast.
good luck. the time flys really fast.

I STRONGLY SUGGEST TAKING THE PRENATAL CLASSES... IT REALLY PREPARES YOU FOR LABOR AND WHAT TO EXPECT...

It is painful but is not something you can not bear... At first the contractions will be further apart... Towards the end they will be close to each other... then when its time to push its when it really hurts, but the good thing is it means its almost over... So even if it hurts, if you are told to push do so.

Once the head its out... everything else gets easier...

okay wanna know, water breaks itself, if not the doctors will do it for you, mine broke itself, after it breaks you will be in alot of pain from contractions, mine was every 2 mintues, then go to the doctor asap if you water breaks, unless u are already at the doctor, then after that they will suit you up in the gowns you will lay in bed for however long it takes, you will have the option of an eppy, i advise to get it cuz the pain is horrible, and then hours later you will be 10 cm and after that you will push for however long it takes you to get ur baby out, took me 45 minuts, i was in labor for 14 hours, some people are longer, good luck

You have cramp-like pains that get stronger and stronger as your cervix is forced open by your muscles.
A gob of bloody mucus should come out fairly eary--that's the "plug" that kept germs out. Your amniotic sack may break and the fluid may rush out or trickle, or the doc may have to break it.
When your cervix is open to 10 centimeters, you will have to push--like a bowel movement, sort of- until the baby is out. Then you push to get the placenta out (that's an "organ" that nourished the baby).

My water broke. I had mild contractions for about an hour or so. Then they quit. Then I had to pee and after that it felt like I had to have a bowel movement and needed to push. Then I was brought to the delivery room. I had a major contraction then I was told to push. I pushed and it hurt like crazy. It felt like your asshole was being ripped apart. Then I had a couple more contractions and a couple more pushes and then she was born. I don't even remember the placenta being delivered. I wouldn't stop bleeding so they gave me like 5 needles up inside me and then it quit.

Lots of pain, you should read a book. There is so much that goes on. And I do not remember a whole lot about it because of (yes the pain.) A whole lot of pain.
