If you have 3 kids...

How was the labor for your 3rd child?

Just curious since I'll be giving birth to my 3rd soon!

Thanks!!

Re: If you have 3 kids...

My 3rd didn't want to come out lol, I went a week late and was induced. Cerdvil did nothing, but they started the pitocin at 9 am and she was born at 3:54, it started slow, but by the time I was 6 cm it went very fast, that I had no time to get an epidural and ending up going natural.

My other kids were born early and very fast deliveries, so I really think it's a crap shoot and all deliveries and babies are different lol.

I just had my third on Tuesday and have been meaning to post! I stared having contractions at 3am but were irregular. Went for regular ob appt at 1:40, they sent me to be induced because her movements were low. Was admitted to hospital at 3:49, dr broke my water then stretched me and brought baby down, and dd was born without needing pitocin at 5:17. I had to push and no one was even in the room - dh had to run for the dr. She was out in under one minute once the dr came in - two quick pushes.

Eta I was 40w 5d. And she was very small - 6lbs 1oz.

Re: If you have 3 kids...

My third baby basically delivered herself...I was having contractions and they told me to come to the hospital because I had a very quick labor with #2...broke my water, got an epidural and a few hours later as my husband was sleeping on the couch and I was chatting with the nurse, I felt a little funny...asked the nirse to check it out and dd's head was past crowning and I felt nothing! So no pushing! Nurse starting screaming in the hallway and my dr pulled her out! It was great...no swelling, no pain!

Mine 3rd was a vbac after twins
Water broke without contractions
Started having contractions a few hours later
Labored through the night., got an epi at 745 and ds was born at 945. Exactly 24 hours after my water broke.

My 3rd took the longest! I always figured since it was my 3rd he would come flying out before I had a chance to get to the hospital. Wrong. 16hrs of labor. I had contractions every 2min but I was not dilating at all. stalled at 4cm for about 6hr then stalled at 7 for another 6hr. Finally when I got to 10 he was out in 2 pushes.
I was in labor 12hr with my 1st and 6 with my 2nd.

My third was a week late and I was induced. It went very smoothly and the entire process took about 7 hours. My first was basically on time, though it was a very long labor and then I pushed for 3 hours. Number two was 10 days early and labor was so quick. Number 4 was late also and I was induced.

Re: If you have 3 kids...

It was very quick. I was a few days late and went into labor around 930 at night. I called the dr. right away as I didn't want to disturb him to late (it was a Saturday night). He told me to go straight to the hospital. The contractions came quick fast. We got to the hospital a little after 11 and the baby was born after 2. Only 1 push was needed.
