Mommies in Waiting, Babies out Playing!

[eilonwy]

I've decided to make a list of who's gone and who hasn't, with links to birth stories. Why? I dunno. Maybe it's my warped way of nesting. :LOL At any rate, PM me if you're missing or if I've got the wrong info.

[Smithie]

My EDD was actually 1 June. Maybe I wrote in wrong somewhere. In amy case, I'll get cracking on that birth story as soon as dh wakes up and hooks up our camcorder to the TV. I need some reminding about details.

Thanks for doing this!

[eilonwy]

All better!

[irishgreengables]

This is most cool! Thanks for doing it!

[eilonwy]

No problem! I love lists! :LOL :

[crunchywannabe]

this is a really neat idea!

I have 2 due dates! :LOL by my calculations, I am june 15....by my OB it is not until the 24th...we will see who is right! :LOL

[HoneymoonBaby]

I'm due the 20th!

[bandana]

Hey guys...I know I don't have the chance to write in much anymore, but I'll add my name to the list...my edd was june 18th, so I'm + 5 days. Waiting is HARD, but I keep telling the little bean it's okay if he/she is comfy in there, I am just really excited to meet this person.

[Greaseball]

For the labor length stats, mine was 14 hours. It probably won't be the longest or shortest, but who knows?

[crunchywannabe]

planned hospital birth....had induction due to pre-eclampsia...vaginal birth


my labor was 1 hr 7 min from start of induction to birth of baby.

[mattjule]

how do you decide how long? Active labor (as in past 4 cm) or total? B/c Smithie would have been in labor for, like, 3 weeks!

[eilonwy]

Yeah, but QoC, even if you're talking past four cm, was in labor for what, a month? :LOL

Active labor as in having regular contractions which are doing something. Hm, I guess that would technically make mine the shortest, since I had none at all! :LOL

[rubelin]

I'm not sure how we fit into the stats... We had a planned HB that turned into a planned c-sec that turned into a vag breech birth at the hospital (barely ) And it was 1 hr 25 minutes from the first contraction to delivery, not counting the 3 or 4 weeks of prodomal. And do I really have the only NICU babe? That's really good only having 1 out of 27!!

I think that labor time would be amount of labor you had the day baby was born? (or days if you were in labor for days before hand.....)

[Smithie]

The labor that I'm counting was 5 hours 44 minutes. It was distinctly different from all that went before

[mattjule]

if we go by ctx same day, I'd say mine was a wonderful 20 hours, only 2 hours 15 minutes of which was active/difficult in any way.

[Ceili]

Okay, I'm here now. Baby boy (still no name) was born July 8th at 3:29am.

As for stats, my membranes broke at 7 am on the 6th. I started having pretty regular contractions about 12 hours later. So that was about 32 hours. I had some stalls in there, but not long enough to rest much. Ours was a planned homebirth and that's where we stayed (good thing too... the hospital would never have let me go that long)

[eilonwy]

Ceili, I had a hospital birth with my son and labored for much longer than 32 hours after my water broke. *Much* longer. So there are some that will let you do it.

As far as I can tell, everything is correct and up-to-date now.

[Modesto Doula]

just want to add, for the list, my apologies for not having posted my birth story yet. We had a planned home birth, after 14 hours of labor/3 hours active labor. I wasnt sure if we were in the stats or not, since I didnt get it posted yet.
BTW Rhynna- This is REALLY cool to see! We have a wonderfully healthy group!
