I WISH I had had a birth pool, because you can only sit in a cramped tub for so long, even if people are pouring water down your back (posterior baby...made it feel so much better!)

I didn't have the pool, but the bathtub at home was wonderful for easing pain. I did use the shower at the hospital until they decided I needed constant EFM. The shower was also wonderful - it made a huge difference IMO. I could have stayed in there the whole time.

I had a jacuzzi tub at the birthing center for my fifth baby, and it was amazing! I went from 5 to 10 in a hour. I tried a bathtub with some of my home births and it just wasn't comfortable for me.
I know I've posted this before, but I had an 11 1/2 lb. baby at home, and I'm 5' 1".

Or a postpartum lady clean it! Wow, that's like a job for a janitor, isn't it? I think if I did clean it, I'd ask for them to take the 'labor' costs off my bill. Oy.
My male neighbor found out we are having the baby at home, he said "neat!" I thought that was cool. Glad he thinks so.

I don't know how they could, but they did. They even put clean sheets on the back of the recliner and said I needed to change my own bed. I just left them there, I didn't think I needed clean sheets for just a two night stay.
I had dropped a stitch too, and they never once checked me. I was crying so much and even called Larry at 2 in the morning about the pain, but I had no idea why I was in such pain. He called them and chewed them out, so they brought me a portable sitz bath thing, but still never checked. They just kept saying I had a hemorrhoid.  When I got home I got a mirror out and looked and started bawling, it looked to me like he had stitched my vajayjay in half or something. I went to the dr and they told me I'd lost a stitch but since it hadn't been fixed right away there was nothing to be done.
This is the same hospital that had blood on the toilet from the previous patient. 
I was at the same hospital with Mike, but they changed my bed for me that time. He had gone pee pee on it. They still never checked my stitches and I didn't even realize they were suppose to. I never had a lactation nurse visit either.
But then when I had linz I was at a different hospital. It was wonderful. They checked my stitches several times a day, I saw nutritionists, lactation nurse, all sorts of people. And the other hospital was the teaching hospital and I didn't get near the care the good one did.

That isn't wimpy! You also had fear to contend with, which can make pain worse. I have a friend whose boys were both early (6 or 7 weeks apiece, I think) and her girls were full-time. She said the girls were easier to birth than the boys--those little guys don't give you much to push against, and don't progress the same as a full-term baby.

I wouldn't call it wimpy either. To be in labor that early is scary. For Isaac's sake I'm glad you didn't get a homebirth!

I think you have this thread confused with the Perfect Birth Thread.

LOL.
I dont know exactly what I mean, I just feel kinda like I dont belong in either, KWIM? I'm not trying to be whiney or anything, its just kind of a weird feeling. I mean I KNOW I gave birth I just dont feel very much like it. I know that probably a good thing, but I dont know...not sure if that makes sense. It all happened so fast that its pretty unreal to me. The whole thing is pretty much not sunk in, I mean I it had barely sunk in that I was pregnant, then never had time to click that I was in labor, and then I havent really "bonded" with Isaac much, not without watchful care, kind of like it would be if you were holding someone else's baby. I know I am, but it doesnt really feel like I am him mom, KWIM? I know I'm going off on a tangent...this probably belongs elsewhere...anyway...I think that all sounds whiney, I'm not whiney, I'm in a good mood, my thoughts are just flowing......  Anyway...ignore me...I'm just crazy!

Vacuum during the c-section? That doesn't make sense to me. Is Smootches around these days? Maybe she could clear that up...
If the baby is stuck in the pelvic bone area...they will use a vacuum to "loosen" baby up to be able to deliver them....it is either that or push on the head and pull on the feet like they did for my niece.....
