no transition...

i didn't experience that feeling of "i cant do this..i'm going to die" or feel like puking or anything.. it was just got into the pool, intense contractions then realized baby was coming when i reached in and felt the bulging bag of waters..then a few little pushes and there she was. my other two births i def. had transitions.... i didn't realize till after she was born and was reliving the experience in my mind and talking about it with my midwife.. how odd is that?

I didn't have that reaction to transition either. It was just really intense ctx, close together, and then... pushing.

I DID get shakey during an earlier period, which I thought was transition too. So in a sense I went through two transitions (3 day labor that stopped and started several times)... they just weren't that bad.

yep same thing happened with me. Heck, an hour before she was born I was on the phone with my mw telling her I was fine lol

i had the same experience - "normal" transitions with my first two, shaking, freaking out, panicking, etcm but with the third, I wasn't even sure I was in labor or not until I felt my body pushing.

I think this (second) time my "transition" went so fast, that I didn't really have it either. I did throw up, but I don't remember doing the "I can't do this" thing. I was at 7cm when my water was broken - because I asked - and then 20 minutes later my son was in my arms..... maybe that's why? I didn't have time to freak?

with my first and my last I had a definate transitions with the other 2 no-- well #2 was born in 1 hour and the whole labor and birth felt like something extreme -- but transition would not be the word for it ; )
