Were your pregnancies normal?

My pregnancies were very normal, and my babies grew and were healthy. I know I am fortunate. I think I am the only woman in my family who can say that. My son was ten pounds, daughter 8 lbs. 12 oz. Vince had to be delivered with forceps, but that was because I was wearing out, he was fine. I do feel sorry for people with difficult pregnancies. I was healthy, and active, and gained a lot of weight, but then the babies were very healthy when they were born, as well.

My first pregnancy, I went into labor at 7 months. They were able to stop my labor. Then, I found myself in the hospital every few days getting my labor stopped. The last couple months of pregnancy were horrible. My 2nd and 3rd pregnancy went very smooth and without problems. I was induced with my 2nd pregnancy at 38 weeks. My son was crushing my pelvic bone and the doctor decided it was best for him to be delivered. My 4th pregnancy was the worst. My son was born at 30 weeks. He weighed 3 lbs. 6 oz. He spent 2 months in the NICU. He has permanent lung disease and is on disability due to prematurity. He is now 4 years old, but still has struggles and problems. He is currently battling walking pneumonia. After he was born, I decided to get my tubes tied. I was not willing to go through that again and risk losing a baby or having the problems that he had.

how tough it must have been for you those times. i can never understand but i fully sympathise with you being a mother myself. i am happy for you that you have 2 daughters now. but still, having baby at 29 weeks really is early. really is a miracle. for me, my pregnancies were as normal as could be. in fact, they were so normal that they were really fast pregnancies. my first born, son, was delivered within 2 hours. of course, the pain was endless then, seemed to go on and on forever. i couldn't wait to give birth. and it was really lonely in the middle of the night. as for my second, daughter, she was delivered within 30 minutes^_^ the doctors weren't even ready, they had to rush as all the doctors were busy then. they finally found a room for me after rushing as well. my husband was only halfway through the admission process(the paperwork) for the hospital stay, and there were no empty beds for me to rest after my delivery so i had to wait a few hours in the delivery room itself until there was one. ehehe

I have been trying to get pregnant for many years. I have never been pregnant and I am 37. I am not giving up. You sure went through a lot! I feel for you. It must have been very stressful and hard. I hope I will be able to experience pregnancy, but I am getting old. I think it must be an amazing experience. I pray it will happen for me.

I don't know much about pregnancies but upon reading this I got concerned. I have no wife yet but I hope my future wife, which is my current girlfriend, will have a normal pregnancy in the future. Take care of your babies dl

Wow. That's so tough. I personally haven't had to deal with miscarriages, but I have had SOOO many friends have to go through that. I have had one child...with one on the way. My first child's pregnancy was the best I could ever imagine. I never had morning sickness, although I think I was queasy for about an hour at work one day. I was totally blessed in that aspect. I was very tired with her as well. I carried her until 39 wks, and we induced just using a suppository...then three and a half hours later, here she was. But with this pregnancy, I am miserable. I haven't had to throw up at all, but the first 12 weeks were terrible...tired, nauseous, had to make sure I ate every minute of every day or I hovered the toilet, I have horrible back pains, and terrible round ligament pain. I wanted to be a surogate as well, because my first pregnancy went so smoothly, but after this one, I just dont know. LOL. I'd love to be able to give the gift of life to someone who is unable to. It would be such an amazing gift. Well, that's my story.

I had two healthy pregnancies though my first was a slight risk which was taken care of without hormone injections every week for 3 months. I had him 3 weeks before my due date which was normal delivery. My second was also a normal pregnancy but I had a C-section because there was a risk of losing our baby (lost quite a bit of fluid and the cord had tightened around his neck).

Hi dl. Wow, you sure went through a lot. Both of my pregnancies were pretty smooth for the most part. However, I got sick with a bad cold when I was about 4 and a half months pregnant with my oldest. The darn thing lasted for about 5 or 6 weeks and I had stopped gaining weight because of it. My OBGYN was very concerned. She said that she would schedule a second ultrasound to make sure that my baby was still growing accordingly, but only if my baby's measurements didn't match up to where they should be. But even after everything checked out a-okay, she still scheduled it anyway...just to be on the safe side. Thankfully, the ultrasound showed that everything was normal and the rest of my pregnancy went pretty well...other than having to deal with the summer heat, that is. LOL My second pregnancy went even smoother than my first. The only thing I suffered from with this pregnancy were some leg cramps one night after standing on my feet too long, so it wasn't too bad. Though I have to say those cramps were pretty painful, almost worse than labor itself. LOL And it was a hell of a shocker to wake up to, that's for d@mn sure! LOL But at least it went away after awhile. I personally don't want anymore kids. Two is my limit. But then again I was only planning to have the one. So, who knows if I'll have anymore. Happy mylotting!

I am a mother of six living and one deceased. Pregnancy number one was a breeze. Heck, the only way I knew I was pregnant is because my belly kept getting bigger. The delivery was iffy, they thought she was going to be blind, cuz I had an infection, but nope all was good. Her head got stuck, forcepts were used, and her heart stopped for three minutes I think they told me. They didn't tell me until the next day. Pregancy number two, again was a breeze. The only thing with her she was a little stubborn and was two weeks late, had to be induced. Pregancy number three... you guessed it, another breeze. She was low weight, only 5lbs 12oz(born on due date). But healthy as a bean. All three had heart murmurs and are low iron deficient anemic like me, but no big problems. Pregnancy number four, thought I was going to have problems due to some light bleeding, but was normal seeing how she was conceived on the depo-shot. The light bleeding was just my body cleansing itself. Healthy little girl born on her due date. Pregnancy number five, I couldn't believe it, I finally got a boy. He was induced the day after my due date so he could be born on his dads birthday. No problems, very healthy. Pregnancy number sixx....problems. I was real sick for about a week. Everything seemed fine. However, when I went to get my 12 week ultrasound there was no heart beat. The visit took place the day after mother's day. We named her Sixx. She's still and will always be a part of our life. However, two years later, I was blessed with another girl. I'm firm believer that Sixx had her sent to me so I could start to enjoy mother's day again. She was born 2 days before mother's day. She was small, but we knew she would be. Although she beat the weight of child number three by 1 ounce, weighing in at 5lbs, 13oz. And after all of that, I decided to shut that factory down. And

Yes all of my pregnancies were very much normal. I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes with my first pregnancy. And it went away after my son was born. He was born at 38 weeks. My other two daughters was born at 39 weeks. They were healthy as well. Other than that, my pregnancy did not resulted in me being in any high risk situations. I am sorry that you had to go through this with any of your pregnancies. I also am so sorry for your loss of your babies too.

It must be hard to go through that. I have one pregnancy. Normal, no problems. My daughter has has three and each has had problems after they were born. One had a heart mermer, one a hole in the top of the head that grew together quickly, and the last that she had to have a Ceserian section. She has recently gotten her tubes tied. Now my granddaughter is pregnant with her first and it is going into its 6th month and going well.

It so sad to hear about your losses dear. I know how hard it is for a mom to lost our baby. My sister had same problem with you,she lost two of her babies. My pregnancies are all normal,but,not with giving birth. I delivered all my 3 kids thru CS operation. But,i am thankful that,my kids are all healthy and now grown ups too. Just take proper advice from your Ob-gyne and care yourself well. Eat the right nutritious foods and keep healthy. I hope you will soon had another baby

Oh, that was very risky. Me I 've got 4 children, all born thru normal delivery. Pregnancy for me was just okay, no morning sickness whatsoever and no complications at all. I really prayed hard to have a normal and safe delivery, that's why.

Im a happy for you and sad as well from your previous pregnancies... I do have one daughter and i delivered her thru ceasarean section. I have a hard time during my pregnancy because of too much dizziness and vomiting but its okay because i do have an angel rigth now. Take care of yourself and your babies, good luck on your next pregnancy!

i had toxemia with the first one and ended up getting a section because she wouldnt drop and kept cutting out her heart rate and then i had a miscarriage and then my last was fine but she was sick when she was born.

I didn't have any problems and could have had a dozen but I'm so glad I didn't, we would have been totally low on income if I had not been able to go to work as soon as the youngest was in school. My heart goes out to those that cannot have the children they want, at least you have one and can give her all your love. I don't know if I would be brave enough to try again after being through what you did.

Hi Dloveli, I had two healthy pregnancies but i had problem in giving birth. i underwent CS operations for my kids. my cervix had problem opening to accommodate the crown of my baby to be out. it was so hard and i almost die!

My pregnancy was so complicated! I got pregnant at 40! I was high-risk, with multiple myoma. I went through amniocenthesis and that was horrible! I started to have contractions at Week 20. It got so worst i have it every 2 minutes! with the help of Magnisium administered thru UV, it calmed my uterus a little bit. with the condition, i have to stay in the hospital. Non-stop UV fluid, weekly ultrasound, hospital food. the contractions did not really stopped, it was only calmed down. So there i was, spending the remaining 16 weeks lying in the hospital waiting for my baby to grow. I had C-sec on the Week 35 and at the same time a myomectomy was performed removing 7 fist big myomas. I lost 1000 ml blood and was not able to get up till the 3rd day after OP. I think my lying in bed after Op, was the reason why my insides were clogged up. I did not get hungry - practically no appetite. On the 4th day after OP, i vomitted. I dont know what that was, but it was all green. yuks! but it made me feel better! I began to eat and was allowed to come home after a week. My baby stayed for 2 more days in the intensive premature baby section - to give me time to prepare for her arrival @ home. Looking back .... I thought i would lose her ... you can just imagine how hard i prayed to keep her. Sometimes, pregnancy gets complicated - so complicated it is beyond our power to keep the fetus inside. I am sorry to hear all your loses..but am glad to know you have 2 angels which made it through to stay by your side.

My God.. that would really so much high risk. Its a blessing that you have a daughter now. Well mine, I so much thankful that I didn't go so much labor pain. I deliver my son normal and it only took me about 2 hours to go on labor. Painless right, just so blessed with that one.

I had only one pregnancy because I got married on my late 30's. My OB told me, I could not have baby anymore because I am very high risk which was very disappointing to hear. So I did prayed and ask GOD to give me one as my birthday gift on my last year birthday ..And GOD gave it with out any complications even on my baby..just I had C-section because he was too big ( 8.12 lbs )and I'm a small type. I am ever grateful to God for the perfect gifts he gave just before my birthday last year. He was born on Oct. 01 and my b-day was Oct.05..everything goes normal. He will be 6 month on April 1..very active and very smart. He already had two teeth on his lower gum, learns to stand but doesn't crawl yet though he likes to do airplane with his tummy on the floor.oohh..I love him so much!! I just stayed home spend time with him then when he starts to go school it's when i have to go back work..it's worth to spend time with him..
