We all have this filipino saying that "Kapag nanganak ang babae nasa hukay na ang kanyang isang paa." The word "painful" may be an understatement to describe how it feels when you're in the pregnancy labor state. Mommies, why don't you share your labor story with us!

The best labor story will be published here in our site under BABY MATTERS together with actual post - delivery photos
Mine, i did not experience the natural labor. Jan 16, 2008 was my due date, however, IE result 2 days before that date, my cervix had not dilated yet, so I was required to have biophysical profile (BPP) ultrasound and the results were OK, baby’s condition was fine and the amniotic fluid was still adequate. The due date came and felt no signs of labor. January 17, my OB decided to induce me. At 5:00PM, I admitted to the hospital for induction (the very first time in my whole to be admitted to the hospital), 6:00PM, the dextrose with the medicine (for induction) was inserted to my vein, almost fainting, it hurt, my first time. 10PM, having contractions with no pain and then after 1 hour, intense pains were on and off for 30 minutes interval and became 5 minutes interval. The resident doctor had examined me and my cervix dilated for 2cms only and advised me to sleep to prepare the big day, the delivery day. However, the pain did not put me to sleep. I was crying all the time but never screaming. I could not describe the pain that I’d been going through that moment. I even said to myself that i should not get pregnant again, I should not give birth again. overnight, i spent my hours standing and sitting while crying because it's more painful every time i lie down. Jan 18, 5AM, the pains were more intense in less than 5 minutes interval but my cervix dilated only to 4cms. My OB advised the Resident Doctor (RD) thru phone to bring me to the Delivery Room (DR) to prepare at that early and thinking that I’ll be giving birth soon. I was so weak, feeling tired and still battling the pain. while I was in the DR, my OB instructed the RD to give me pain reliever for me to rest and sleep. It lessened the pain enough for me to rest but only for 1 hour and after that, intense pain overflowed to me again. 8AM, my cervix dilation did not progress and to my frustration, the RD instructed the attendants to transfer me to the labor room because there was another pregnant mommy to give birth. My OB arrived at 9AM and still giving me chance to deliver naturally, she said that by 12 noon, if cervix dilation is not progressing, I will give birth thru CS. Hours passed, IE done and the dilation arrest at 4 cms and I even told to my OB that I could no longer endure the pain anymore. I had no tears to shed more at that time because my tear ducts were running out of tears. i gave birth thru CS at jan 18, 2008, 2:05PM.
In labor, there is no time-out to rest, to relax. It is continuous pain, unbearable pain but when you hear the 1st cry and see the baby, you will be able to forget the pains.

Wow! Enough said I could feel the pain just by reading through your post.
Hello po.... I have 3 children na and I may say gifted ata ako pagdating sa panganganak. I never had problems or difficulties in giving birth to all three. I never experienced long time labor, kapag humilab, lalabas na talaga.... Pero the best experience that I had was with my second child, he is now seven years old. I gave birth sa house lang. The eldest, now 13 years old, was born in Chinese General Hospital, the youngest, now 1 year old, was born in my OB's clinic in Proj. 4. My second pregnancy, I may say, tag hirap kami that time, both my husband and I does not have a job at that time, we were relying from our small computer shop that time. Kulang ako sa check up nun and hindi namin talaga sure kung kailan ang expected date of delivery ko, we were not even sure kung normal ang baby na dinadala ko kasi once lang ako nagpa ultrasound, for gender purpose pa at sa isang cheap ultrasound clinic lang namin ginawa. As mentioned earlier, di ako nagle labor ng matagal, kapag sumakit na, kahit hindi pa sya ganun kasakit, malaki na agad ang opening ng cervix ko and ready na talagang lumabas ang baby. July 8, 2001, around 11:00am, sumakit sya, naisip ko kaagad na mukhang manganganak na ako, though hindi kami serious ni hubby na nag prepare, until after 15 minutes nagulat ako kasi may blood na akong nakapa sa undies ko and may nararamdaman na akong round thing sa pwerta ko. that time nataranta na kami and we had no choice kundi sumundo lang ng midwife, buti na lang mabilis yung midwife na nasundo ni hubby at nakarating sila agad sa house, pagkahigang pagkahiga ko sa bed, nagulat yung midwife kasi lalabas na talaga si baby, nung una, natakot ako kasi sabi ko masakit kapag hiniwa gaya ng nangyari sa panganay ko. Pero fortunately, malaki yata talaga ang cervix ko at nailabas ko sya ng as is, walang hiwa, walang anestheasia, huwaw, 11:40am, may baby na ako... To think, sa movies ko lang napapanood yung mga ganung situation....
Little facts first. My EDD is actually January 10, I gave birth 3 days before. We live with my in-laws in Quezon City but I gave birth at Medical Center Paranaque, where my OB is a resident (who is also the cousin of my father-in-law, that's why we got him). Right after the holidays, I chose to stay with my parents in Las Pinas so I can be rushed to MCP once I started laboring.
First week of January 2007, my hubby told me that he will fly to China to conduct a training. He said he would stay in China for two weeks but he might be extended. Of course, I didn't want to give birth without him. Hubby said his flight is scheduled on January 7, 6am.
It was Friday, we went to the mall for a walk, para daw matagtag na ako at lumabas na si Ayex. We lso took the time to buy some more items we need when Ayex comes out. I got super tired. I can already the weight of my tummy so I told them we should go home after two hours of walking. Still I didn't want t give birth without hubby by my side. I also didn't like the idea that hubby might feel indifferent once he comes back because we're already three by then.
An officemate once told me that sex can induce labor. It's free from drug and it does not hurt. I told hubby about this. I'm really afraid to give birth without him. So once and for all, we tried to force Ayex to come out. On January 6, hubby had to go back to QC for his aunt's funeral as well as to get his things that he will bring to China. I told him to be back right after the things he had to do.
January 6: I went out of bed at ten in the morning. I went to the bathroom to pee. As I was suppose to flush the the toilet, I noticed that there were some blood with my urine. I went ahead and flushed the toilet then went straight to my mom's room where my sisters are. I asked them if they have their monthly cycle and both said no. I'm still ok. I'm not panicking although I already thought that the blood may have come from me. I changed clothes and used a panty liner. I told myself I need to be sure that the blood came from me. After an hour, I went to the bathroom to pee and to my horror, the liner is now almost full with blood. The blood was similar to that of a wound. I got scared and started calling hubby and my mom, who was at work at that time. At home, my two younger sisters and my uncle were with me.
By 3pm, both hubby and mom are back home. They both checked on me and finally decided that we go the hospital for a check up. It's a Saturday so my OB has his clinic in MCP. We went to the emergency room as instructed by my OB. After the IE, they told me that I'm 1-2cm dilated. The asked me to change in my hospital gown and proceed to my OB's clinic. Once in the clinic, my OB asked why is it that I still don't have dextrose. I told the attending nurse not to put one yet because I'll see my OB first. The attending nurses were somewhat rattled after learning that my OB and I have the same surname. Mega asikaso silang lahat sa'kin kasi my OB is one of the owners of that hospital. After the check up, my OB told me that I should stay in the labor room even if I'm just 1-2cm dilated. And no, I know he didn't make me walk. So even if I don't want to, I went to the delivery room.
Since nobody is allowed to stay inside the delivery room except the patient, mom told hubby that he should just go home and fix his things for his flight. Hubby had no choice so he went home. That was around 8pm when hubby texted me and asked what is mrt's last train. Yes, I know I was lucky for having allowed to have my cellphone with me. I asked why hubby was asking but he didn't answer me. It turned out that while he was fixing his things in the car trunk, he put down his keys and the wind blew causing the trunk to close. He didn't have his spare keys with him so he had to go back to QC.
I, on the other hand, was hungry in the labor room. They don't want to feed me with solid foods since I may do #2 during my delivery, which may harm Ayex. Every hour, an expectant mom will be rushed inside the labor room. After an hour or two, they will be transferred to the delivery room then to the recovery room. Me, I was able to watch all the TV shows in GMA. I couldn't get myself to sleep. Ayex is not progressing. At 12am, I'm still 1-2cm dilated. They had to gave me oxygen because Ayex's heart rate dropped a bit. Good thing Ayex recovered asap. Hubby dropped by the hospital at 3am to kiss me goodbye. Our hopes of him seeing Ayex before he leaves are now gone. By 6am, I am already watching Sunday's televised mass. I'm sleepy but finding it very very hard to sleep.
By 9am, January 7, I can already feel the pain. I was crying the and shouting. My mom would go in and out of the labor room to check on me. The nurse that morning didn't help so much because she's very unsupportive. She told me that my tolerance is very very low. She gave me some pain reliever to make me sleep. I'm super duper tired already at this point and prays that all the pain would just go away! Before I shut my eyes, I texted hubby to tell him that I can't bear the pain anymore and I'll ask the OB to give me epidural.
I was able to sleep a little. I was liked a drunk person. I was half awake when nurses brought me to the delivery room. I think that was about 2pm. I even knew that my lipbalm dropped from my bed as they transfer me to a different bed.
The anesthesiologist gave me a shot of epidural. After a while, my OB arrived. After the shot, I told the nurse to prick me as I can't feel anything. The funny thing, after my epidural shot, my OB was asking about internal calls. He said somebody called him but when he was trying to callback that person, he seemed to be dialing an incorrect number. I was instructing him to do make sure he's my dialing the number correctly as if all the pain are gone now and Ayex is already out of womb.
After a few minutes, they started the whole process. They kept telling me to push. I think I was doing me best pushes already but Ayex is still inside me! The OB kept saying that I push harder. Finally he shouted "gusto mo bang ma CS?" After that, I heard Ayex's loud cry, finally, after 24 hours.
i'm a newbie and i also want to share my birthing story. all throughout my pregnancy, i have to stay in bed and it really WAS a miracle to see my son be born healthy and active.
i hope it's okay if i just put the link here. it's quite long.
birthing story: http://myswittooth.blogspot.com/2004/10/after-nine-months-of-waiting-our-little.html
Firts it was indicated in my last ultrasound that my EDD is Feb 18,2008 and it did!!!
nag start mag cramps yung tummy ko mga 7:00 pm ng gabi (feb 17,2008) then nedyo nag subside tapos mga bandang 10:30 while where watching our wedding coverage in dvd, bigla sumipa ng malakas si sam as in kitang kita namin na umangat mismo yung center part ng tummy ko.. parang she really wants to go out na!!! hehehehe!!
then si hubby prepared niya na lahat ng things namin, na naka ready na talaga nung 5 months pa lang akong preggy. then we decided to sleep na, hindi na namin tinapos yung panonood, hubby inssisted na mag rest na kami ni sam.
then mga bandang 2:00 am (feb 18) dire-direstso na pananakit ng tummy ko, every 15 mins sumasakit na siya talaga.. then hubby called my OB na then we go straight na agad sa hospital...
Then pag dating sa hospital, diretso na kami sa emergency room,, sobrang kabado na ko, at the same time sobrang sakit na ng tummy ko.. as in every two minutes na ang interval ng hilab.... We stayed sa emergency room hanggang 5:00 am with my inlaws... grabeh yung sakit.. as in namamaga na yung kamay ni hubby sa kakapiga ko...
then around 7:00 am dinala na ko sa Room na pina reserve namin.. may dalawang nurse na nag momonitor samin ni sam.. pero grabeh na ang sakit, hindi ko na napigilan umiiyak na talaga ko... si hubby hindi na alam ang kalmang gagawen sakin..pati yung nurse.. she even sing for me para malibang ako kahit sandali... sobrang bait ng mgaburse dun.. they even massage yung back ko.. para daw ma relax ako kahit konti...
9:00 am my OB finally came with the anes for the epidural... my mother inlaw requested na for epidural kasi sobra na ang iyak ko sa sakit... sabi mawawala daw yung pian after the epidural shot... then may dalawang guy na nurse na humawak sakin at ibinaluktot ako.. grabeh... sobrang sakit tlaga.. kasi super sakit na ng hilab tapos yung discomfort pa ng ibabaluktot ka at naiipit yung tummy mo. YUng epidural ay tinurok sa spine ko... grabeh sakit... Then my hubby really try his best to comfort me... sabi niya 5 mons daw wala na sakit... pero to my suprise 30 mins na after the epidural shot still walang nag bago.. mas lalong sumakit yung hlab ng tummy ko.. mga bandang 10:30 the anes came gain for another epidural shit, masyado daw mataas ang threshold ko sa pain.. so i have to go though ulit dun sa process ng "pag baluktot" sobrang iyak na ko ng iyak tlaga.. nag mamaka awa na ko dun sa OB ko na CS na ko..pero kaya daw kasi normal ang crwning process ni sam...
11:00 may OB decided na ipasok na ko sa Delivery Room, pero that time wala padin nag bago sobrang sakit padin ng hlab ng tummy ko mas lalong sumakit.. kung alam ko lang na walang effect sakin epidural sana hindi na ko nag pa shot..kasi the process of injecting the epidural was so sakit as in... Wala ako kasama sa DR, bawal daw kasi... kaya si hubby wait lang sa labas... then my OB started instructing me to push, push... 11:15 na hindi padin lumalabas si baby.. tapos may isang malaking dra dun OB din yata, dinaganan niya tummy ko, para daw mdali lumabas si sam.. ayaw padin...
At 11:30 my OB decided na "emergency" CS na ko kasi.. hindi na daw nakaka hingang maayos si sam... kaya they injected na yung parang anesthisia.. i dont na the exact term dahil groge na talaga ako... after they inject me with the anesthsia, they prepared na me for CS operation but still nararamdaman ko padin pag cut nila sa tummy ko.. napapa igtad pa ko sa sakit... then my OB decided na to inject me with "twilight" yan yung term na natandaan ko.. tapos after ilang min lang literal na nag karon ng "swirls" sa paligid ko.. next thing i know... nasa Recovery Room na ko.. and the nurse approach me and said "ang cute ng angel mo mommy. she's "8 Pounds" nahirapan siya lumabas kasi humarang yung malaking pisngi niya"... then she smiled at me...
hello pahabol ng stories ko! i already have two little angel's,angel's kasi never nila ako pinahirapan sa panganganak sa kanila. when i gave birth to my first baby,nag spotting muna ako that was February 5,i thought im going to gave birth already kaya dinala ako ng mother in law ko sa center but the midwife told us na malayo pa kasi 2cm palang raw but after 4 days habang natutulog kami ng hubby ko parang may kumurot sa tummy ko so nagising ako but i ignored it ksi nawala naman sya kaagad parang wala lang. kinaumagahan paalis ang hubby hes going to POEA kasi nilalakad nya papers nya kasi aalis sya,that time walang wala kami umaasa lang kami sa parents ng hubby ko tsaka sa parents ko. so ang hubby ko hinatid ko sa sakayan after 10 minutes pagkaalis nya humilab na tyan ko,but i ignored it kaya lang dumadalas sya kaya sinabi ko sa mother in law ko tska nagdi discharged na rin ako ng blood. my mother in law told me maligo na ako punta na kami sa lakeside clinic. then pagdating namin don maraming student nurse pero mababait sila sakin. habang nagco contractions,nag tetext pa ako sa mom ko tsaka sa mga friend ko binabalita ko na na manganganak na ako. eto na nasa delivery room na ako nakahiga na ako saka ko lang naalala ang hubby ko ittxt na manganganak na ako,he don't believe in me kasi san ka nga naman makakakita ng manganganak na lahat lahat pero nagtetext pa pati parents ko feeling nila am just kidding them so they called me to make sure that am going to gave birth. my god after 40 minutes i heard her crying then the midwife put her on my tummy all the pains pati pagod biglang magic na nawala,that day february 9 2007, I realized the real meaning of being a mother! but the hardest part of giving birth is when your husband is not in your side to support you but you have to fight...

I know that day my life will never be the same again because of my two little angel's who make's me happy and my loving husband who love's me and make's me feel safe even he's far from us! all the things that i been through are worthy not only for me but for my new famillia!

my expected date is sept 11.. but then when we first had my ultrasound twas in breech presentatio then my OB told me to have another UTZ a month before my due date..
then im done with the 2nd ultrasound, but actually twas my 4th ultrasound.. haha.. then, still the presentation was still in breech then my OB decided to have a CS for me.. and the fact also that my placenta still premature.. instead oh=f having a grade 3, mine is grade 2 plng.. so she told me to choose dates between sept 16 to 22.. but then my relatives chose the 16 so i have already the date for admission and an order form for CS..
the next day after scheduling my operation, twas sept 1, around 7:30 in the morning, i felt the urge na mag poo poo.. but i thought that time na mag poo poo lang tlga.. then when i went to the CR saw my panty with a blood na.. so i called my aunt to tell her what happened.. i get my things and took a bath first before going to the hospital.. my uncle's the one whio brought me in the hospital.. ryan, tita and a caregiver was waiting for me outside the emergenct room..
9 am i was admitted in the ER then by around 10 or 11am, brought to my room.. a nurse injected a med wherein i really felt groggy that time.. 3pm was my scheduled for operation.. going to the OR i was really groggy and when the anesthesiologist arrived, my aunt introduced me.. and the Doctor even put a drops on my nose because twas clooged that moment due to my colds.. then after that by 3:15, my baby 's out..
hehe.. never really felt pain during my delivery and labor.. because my tita ordered to have my operation urgently because she doesn't want me to undergo labor pains.. can't remember anything even giving the anesthesia and doing the C position.. twas painless on my part// but heeww.. the after effect was too bad..
my doctor told me that they won't allow me to see my baby unless my bp will return to normal and i should start walking.. then the next day, im eager to do whatever they want me to do inorder for me to see my baby.. haay..
for the sake of seeing my baby.. i'll do everything..
and they even gave me magnesium sulfate because i have PIH.. my BP's not in normal range.. that med was to prevent me from convulsion or seizures.. that was really not good.. huhu.. felt warm even they've turned on the aircon in fullblast and even had a fan for me and a wet towel.. that was really unforgettable.. that time, was really praying and asking for help..
really can't forget that..
everytime i see my baby and remember what had happened, twas worth it..
hmm, hindi ako nahirapan mag labor nun sa baby ko, kasi xcited na tlaga ako manganak nun kaya lagi na ako nakikiramdam kong sumasakit na ba or sabi nila may dugo daw na lalabas, true nman kasi pagising ko ng 5:am ng nov.13 2006 , maaga ako gumigising para maglakad ,then nung mag cr ako nakita may konting dugo kaya ginawa nmn ng mother. punta agad kami sa hospital nakarating kami sa hospital ng 7:am then lam nyo ba pagbaba na pagbaba ko ng sasakyan nagsusuka agad ako. un pla sobrang taas na ng bp ko. kaya may ininjection na sila sa akin na pampababa daw pos naramdaman ko na sobrang init, un daw ang effect nung gamot na ininjection then 11:am dinala na ako sa operating room wala sa tabi ko ang asawa ko ksi d2 cya manila then ako pinili ko sa bicol manganak kaya wala akong ibang pinag kukunan ng lakas kundi si god , habang inuooperahan ako walang tigil ang dasal ko sa, hawak hawak ko ung rosary tsaka ung novena ng mahal na ina. kaya siguro hind tumaas ang bp ko nung time na inuuperahan ako. dasal lang ng dasal at makakaraos ka ng hindi ka nakakaramdam ng sakit, takot, kasi pag inisip mo ang takot baka hind mo na makita ung baby mo.yun ang nasa isip ko ayaw ko maging kawawa ang anak ko kaya un ang ni pagdadasal ko, then nung marinig ko na ung iyak ng baby ko lahat ng takot, sakit kayang kaya ko ng labanan,,,,
