Mommies: they say that when you go through childbirth once...you'll go through it again?

Question

Do you know of any woman who had a baby and then decided not to have anymore because labor was too difficult?

I had my baby a little over 5 weeks ago. Was induced (over 2 days), 14 hour labor, 4 hour hard labor, then C-Section because baby was too big. I checked into the hospital on a Friday and left the following Wednesday.

Even after going through all that (and I'm sure, other women had it WORSE than me) I would still like to have another baby, granted, I'd find me a doctor that would just give me another c-section right away and skip the whole other process).

Answer 1

My hubby just got snipped because I do not want another child. I love my daughter (2 1/2) but being pregnant sucked, had to have a stupid c-section, couldn't breast feed, and had depression really bad. Now that she is older we actually get to sleep through the night. I can't imagine why people want to start over from square one with another newborn. We started potty training no more diapers soon. Wiping someone else's butt for another 2 years is not my idea of fun.

Answer 2

My daugther was a brat before she got here! lol No but the labor and such was hard! I was in labor 22 hours total..8 hours of hard labor..7 of that was back labor and I pushed for almost 3 hours before they did a c-section because her head was twisted and she wouldn't come down herself..For like the first 2 weeks I was like never again EVER!! But she's 11 months old today. I just lost my second child this past week and I def. have plans on 1 more baby!! But I have to wait at least a month to try! I would def. do it all again!!! Good luck with the little one! They're a joy!

Answer 3

You poor thing, that sounds traumatic. My sister in law had essentially the same thing happen to do, actually was in the hospital 3 days trying to be induced before her C-section as nothing was happening.

I had a natural childbirth, fairly quick at 8hrs of very intense labour, and my girl was 9.7lbs at birth. That was really hard for me, and even though I'm a tall woman with nice 'childbearing' hips that was as much pain as I could bear. I'm a bit proud in a way of doing it without drugs, but between that experience and the stitches to recover from afterwards I'm still a bit shy of getting pregnant again as the memories are too fresh (and my daughter is 22mths old now!). I can tell that soon I'll change my mind though, as I'm starting to be goo-goo over babies again and that's the first sign of being ready for children I think.

Answer 4

I have an 18mo old, but when I was pregnant, I decided I would got through natural labor. BIG mistake! I didn't last I screamed my head off for 13 hours. I finally gave in and had an epidural, but it was too late and it didn't work. Now I am 8mos pregnant, I am very happy, but this time I am having my epidural. It was hard but I am not worried about doing it again. Oh, once you have a c-section, most doctors will not deliver you vaginally. Its very risky. If you do get pregnant again, you are looking for a scheduled c-section, probably one week before you are due. Hope I answered your question, Have a good one!

Answer 5

Regardless of what most say I have not forgotten the pain of childbirth (did it naturally, 15.5 hrs with 3.5 hrs of pushing). However, my husband and I decided to have another and I am pregnant on #2. I plan on doing it naturally again. I loved labor and delivery, even though it is painful and difficult. I am not too crazy about pregnancy, although I do like the feeling of the baby moving. I am sure there are women out there who have decided NOT to have another baby because of a bad birthing experience.

Answer 6

i'm no longer able to talk in direction of the organic newborn beginning journey, as I further my son with an epidural. first and top-rated... don't sense to blame approximately any determination which you're making. additionally keep in mind that all and sundry pregnancies are diverse. I have been given my epidural while they broke my water. I wasn't dilating as rapid as that they had was hoping, so they broke my water to develop the tension on my cervix. The contractions have been given sooooo severe after that, that i ought to slightly stand it. I have been given the epidural, and it made the whole journey that fairly greater relaxing. customarily because of the fact I nonetheless had 9 hours of hard artwork to pass. If I had no longer had the epidural... i could have had to have had a C-area. there is not any way i could have had the capability to push to get my son out. My hard artwork replaced into over 22 hours, and the epidural allowed me to get some hours of interrupted sleep. I even have heard some human beings say that with the epidural they did no longer sense the ought to push or they weren't pushing good. perhaps my dose replaced into low or had lost it incredibly is effectiveness, yet I felt the urgency to push and that i FELT the beginning. It did no longer get rid of all the discomfort. i don't be attentive to... yet i could think of the epidural could make the hard artwork slightly longer because you will get of venture to take a seat back and your physique can do fairly some the artwork on it incredibly is own. devoid of the epidural you may probably be pushing and doing each little thing on your capability to pass issues at a speedier %.. I had no problems with my transport. i'm set to be brought on the following day... and that i would be getting an epdiural returned. stable success... it incredibly is a determination to no longer be taken gently... even though it is your determination. no ought to sense to blame or sense tension to do as different's think of you ought to. Your stable buddy would be a stable gauge besides. many women persons got down to have a organic newborn beginning, and understand that they are greater open to the epidural then they theory.

Answer 8

I think every woman says "never again" when they have their first baby but as soon as you have that little baby in your arms you forget all the bad bits of the pregnancy and delivery. I had a c-section and a case of the "baby blues" and said never again but my daughter (she's 2 in Sept) brings me such joy I know that we'll have another one eventually.

Answer 9

14 hours of labour? Ouch! My mom while delivering her oldest child : Juani, was in labour for quite a time, and what made it worse was tat my brother was a breach birth. She said the pain was horrible, but that afterwards, once the baby was with her, she couldn't really recall how bad the pain had been!Grecia.

Answer 10

My wife put an abrupt end to our plans for six children. I wish I had adopted a girl to have a daughter and an older son with such an overpopulation problem and to balance the family for us. He so loved the world and so do I. All those unloved, unwanted children out there. How can we be so hard?
