Happy Labor Day!

A friend had this on her blog, and I thought it was cute....so I'll play too:

"In honor of Labor Day, it's about...well, labor. And not the kind you get a day off for, either."

How long were your labors?
Carter: Induced, 26 hours
Leah: None (Light contractions for maybe an hour)
Mila: None whatsoever!!

Where did you deliver?
Carter: Banner Desert Medical Center, Mesa, AZ
Leah: Banner Desert Medical Center, Mesa, AZ
Mila: Banner Desert Medical Center, Mesa, AZ

How did you know you were in labor?
Carter: I was at my Doctors Appointment and they sent me to the hospital because I had really high blood pressure and my reflexes were off, so they wanted me to go get checked. They found out that my fluid levels were low so they ended up inducing me.

Leah: I woke up at about midnight with contractions and we went to the hospital to get checked and the doctor happened to be there doing another C-section, so he said to stay there and he would do mine next.

Mila: No labor, I had high blood pressure with her as well, so they did an amniocentesis test to make sure her lungs were developed and they were, so the next day I had a scheduled c-section.

Drugs?
Oh Yea!!

Carter: I tried to go as long as I could without drugs, but after about 4 hours I asked for my epidural. I got the shakes really bad and my legs kept feeling like they were falling off the bed. Horrible!!

Leah: Whatever they gave me it was good!

Mila: They did a spinal block, but missed where it needed to go in, so they had to pull it out and do it again. I still get a shooting pain in my back every once in a while.

C-section?
All 3!!
Carter: Emergency C-section
Leah: Scheduled C-section, but delivered a week early
Mila: Scheduled C-section

Who delivered?
Carter: Dr. Brian Lindstrom & Dr. Joseph Lindstrom
Leah: Dr. Brian Lindstrom
Mila: Dr. Joseph Lindstrom
