 Topic: Sneezed out? (TMI?)
Posted: 15 April 2007 at 11:24pm |
A post in another thread reminded me of something I've been meaning to ask for ages: how long did you have to push for? I've now pushed two 8lb babies, heard mw's saying "just one more push, one more push" for forever (okay, 30 minutes), had an episiotomy first time and tear the second, and then I get told I have a long perineum  Is 30 minutes of crowning/pushing a long time, and is this probably why my babies under-score on AGPAR colour test? (or is that just the cord wrapping  )

I had one 8 lb 6 baby and was actively pushing for over 2 hours!!!!, we even ended up with me crouching on the toilet trying that way. So 30 minutes sounds good for this next one please!!!

first off was Josh 9lb 5oz and he was posteria so it was a longggggggg 2 and half hours of pushing.(he got stuck on plevic bone and came out with a bruise on his head)
Next came Brooke weighing in at 8lb 6oz and she was so keen to join this earth it was 2 pushes and she was out I'd say it was only 5 mins.
Then came Master Rhyley weighing in at 9lb 4oz but didn't have to push for him as he got pulled out (ceasar)

Andrew was just over 2 hours (my contractions stopped and I couldn't do anything), he was 8lb 4. Josh was 45 minutes (about 20 really active pushing) and was 9lb 4.

I was pushing for about an hour and that was more than long enough for me. I was so pissed off at it not being easy that when the midwife asked if I wanted to touch Han's head (for motivational purposes, I assume) I told her to feck off, because if there was only the head to touch then that wasn't enough. The baby had to be out on the floor before I was going to feel any joy in the process.
Pushing sucks.

Baby number one, who we sometimes call Sean (also Seanathy, Seanderella and Seanathon)..7lbs2oz, came out after around 5 pushes or 15 minutes (total labour 7 hours).
Baby number two, who we sometimes call Andrew (also Andybug, terrorasaur, turnip)...9lbs2oz, positively flew out after 3 pushes (total labour from whoa to go, 2 hours).
Baby number three, who we sometimes call Connor (also Connor-doodles, cuteypumpkin and spud)...9lbs7oz - one practice push and then out on the second (total labour 5 hours, epidurals ROCK).
Only needed stitches after the first small child and then only three.

Hour and a half of really active pushing to get miss Ella out. She was turning during that time which made most of it awkward! (ha... as if it's ever not awkward!).

My siter pusjed for 25 mins with number one and was told by the MW, doctor and pretty much eveyone who has had kids that that was awesome for a first baby! Just hoping that I follow suit and don't go for too much longer than that.

with jack...no pushing as he was an upside down bub so came out the sunroof. he was 5lbs 12
with charli i pushed for 1.5hrs before heading off for a c/s as she got stuck and forceps didn't help. she was 7lbs 6
i'm so jealous of you all being able to push out your bubs, no matter how long it takes

hehehehehe sunroof 
Maybe next time Vanessa! I do kinda get how you feel (well, as much as you can when you haven't gone through it) as I feel really weird about the birth experience, like I didn't do well enough. So I hope to try again and improve... if that makes sense...?

Sneezed out? (TMI?)
