How much did your kids weigh, and how did they arrive into this world?

[EmsMum72]

How much did your kids weigh when they were born? Was it a natural birth (how long was the labour?), an elective caesarian, or an emergency caesarian. What pain relief, if any, did you have?

My DD weighed 7pound, 8 ounces. I was in labour (gas & pethadine) for 18 hours but still only 3cms dilated so they took me off for an emergency caesarian. I had a spinal block for the operation, then morphine (good stuff ) for a day or 2 afterwards.

Zachariah arrived by emergency csect at 31 weeks due to severe pre-eclampsia and IUGR. He weighed 2lb 12 ounces (1260grams). I had a spinal block for the op and then panadeine forte and volataren afterwards.

Isobella arrived by emergency csect at 35 weeks due to severe pregnancy induced hypertension which left me with bp at 225/165, fitting, in and out of conciousness, on oxygen as I couldnt breathe properly etc. She weighed 5lb 12 ounces (2615g) I had a spinal block for the op and then onceagain had panadeine forte and volataren after the op and was still on bp meds for a few days after birth.

Savannah was born by scheduled csect at 38w6d due to PE and gestational diabetes. SHe weighed 7lb 5ounces (3350grams), once again I had a spinal block for the op then afterwards I was having morphine til the day I was discharged (day 4) mostly because my afterpains felt like they were tearing me apart. Then I switched to panadeine forte and voltaren!

DD1 was 7lb 15oz, natural with gas.
DD2 was 8lb 6oz, natural with epidural.

DD1 labour was really good, everything went really smoothly. DD2 was a lot harder, people say that your second labour is supposed to be easier and quicker, wasn't the case for me!
