How long were your labors?

1. Labored for about 3 hours total, then c-section for breech
2. 19.5 hours
3. 5 hours

How did you know you were in labor?

1. Water breaking, never really felt contractions
2. Water leaking, mild contractions that eventually intensified
3. Water breaking and strong, regular contractions right away

Where did you deliver?

All three were delivered in hospitals

Drugs?

1. Spinal for c-section
2. Epidural
3. No drugs at all!

C-section?

Just for the first baby, due to known frank breech presentation, we attempted external version but it was unsuccessful.

Who delivered?

Doctor for all three – would have liked a midwife, but went with obstetrician due to medical coverage (I live in Alberta, Canada – we have universal health care but my province does not cover midwifery yet – hopefully soon!)
