Too tired for labor...??
So last night I was sitting on the couch feeling like I was run over with a truck and reading one of my pregnancy books on labor. I realized that if I had gone into labor then, there was no way I would have had the energy to be in labor much less push out a baby!  What happens then?? What happens if you go into labor when you are already exhausted??

I pretty sure the excrutiating pain will wake us up pretty well and we will find the energy to push the kids out

Re: Too tired for labor...??
we'll get a huge adrenaline rush... that will give enough of a boost. I AM concerned though about the early labor period and not being able to sleep for 24 hours prior to pushing

The adrenaline will kick in....of course, if you labor for a long time, woman get worn out, but if you go in tired, have a normal time labor, I am sure you will have enough energy to get the baby out!!!

Re: Too tired for labor...??
I had been up all night because I was working when I went into labor at 5am and 14hrs later managed to push DD out. I was still on an adrenaline high after delivery and probably got a total of 3hrs sleep during my 36hr stay at the hospital. However when I got home boy did I crash. Thank goodness DD slept a lot those first few weeks because so did I!

Re: Too tired for labor...??
Thats why you have a coach and the nurses there.. they give you that extra support to help you get the energy to push.. with my dd i was pushing for 2 hours straight and i was exhausted!!! Trust me once you feel those contractions you want to get that baby out as quick as possible.

i didnt sleep for 24 hours when i started to push, i was exausted. in between contractions i was practically dead but once that contraction started and i had to push i pushed as hard as i could! your in so much pain that you put all your strength into pushing because you just want that baby out!

I am sure my DH will be screaming and keeping the whole FLOOR awake when that day comes. He already is coming down with labor pains by association.
