"Labor" Day...

Well, Labor Day is almost over, but I saw this post on DoodlesPlace, and I just had to participate!

So, here are my "Labor" Day stats:

How long were your labors?
Abby Grace – 22 hours, 15 minutes
Ella Reese – 11 hours, 1 minute
Meleah Faye Estelle – 1 hour, 30 minutes

How did you know you were in labor?
Abby Grace – major back pains and regular contractions
Reese – regular, hard contractions that woke me up
Meleah – when the nurse was about to give me Pitocin, and I had 2 contractions within one minute

Where did you deliver?
Abby Grace - hospital in Ada, Oklahoma
Reese – the same hospital in Ada, Oklahoma
Meleah – the same hospital as her sisters (are you seeing a theme here?!)

Drugs?
Abby Grace – Epidural
Reese – Epidural
Meleah – none

C-section?
Abby Grace – no
Reese – no
Meleah – no

Who delivered?
Abby Grace - our *favorite* student-nurse-midwife, Kyanna
Reese - a midwife (whom we liked!)
Meleah – a doctor who I had never met before (and who almost delivered her bare-handed!)

(And a bonus question) How long were you pregnant?
Abby Grace – 41 weeks, 1 days
Reese – 39 weeks, 6 days
Meleah – 39 weeks
