» precipitous3 - 3 Fast Labor stories (wow)

I have a total of four girls. Three of the four were precipitous labors. My first I don't consider fast because the hospital induced my labor and broke my water. With my second daughter I was a Chuck E. Cheese and I went to use the restroom but could not stop urinating so I assumed that my water bust but not completely. So I left Chuck E. Cheese and went to the hospital. They hooked me up to the machine and asked me if I felt the contraction, which I barely could, but the computer showed that they were all very strong in nature. They decide to take me to a room and let the doctor see me as soon as I got on the table the contractions came and I could not stop pushing. The doctor was not even in the room before the baby was fully out. My third daughter was the scariest. She was delivered at the babysitters house. At 6pm I felt what seemed like a contraction and 5 minutes later another one so I decided to take the kids to the babysitter and it was their that she was born. My babysitter's husband ended up practically delivering the baby. They were on the phone with 911 while I was in labor. About 4 to 5 minutes after she was out the ambulance arrived. For my very last daughter I was instructed to show up at the hospital so that I would not go into labor without some type of medical attention. Well, I went and they gave me some type of medicine to induce labor contractions and after about 10 to 15 minutes of receiving the med the contractions came I pushed and she came and once again the doctor was not in the room. Isn't that something

That is an incredible story. Just goes to show how every woman is different. Babies come when they want to and sometimes there is no stopping them!

i just posted my own story then i saw yours. I am a first time mom. With my son I labored for an hour 1/2 and i had about 30 minutes of pushing and he was out. my water broke at 7:30 am then i started having very mild contractions 1 minute apart. they got strong very fast though. I got to the hospital at 8 and by 9 i was at 10 cm. It's good to hear stories like this from other people. I actually had a very bad experience at the hospital though. the nurse didn't come in to put the monitors on me until 8:30 because she thought i would be in labor all day (so did i) and the only reason she came then is because i asked for someone twice. she was very rude to me. it really upsets me even thinking about it. i know it's rare to give birth so quickly but they have to take precautions and listen to their patients. i told them 3 times that my water broke and my contractions were 1 minute apart. then my nurse had the nerve to tell my mother-in-law that my contractions were actually 2-3 minutes apart and it was gonna be a while (this was at 8:55 am--5 minutes before i started pushing) anyways, my husband and i want to start trying again but i am afraid that next time i might not make it to the hospital in time. was it really scary giving birth somewhere besides the hospital??
