When I had my youngest, the hospital insisted on a C-section. Vaginal would have killed us both. They also said I couldn't breast feed because they needed to see how much she was eating. We did try pumping but for the first two weeks, she couldn't handle any milk. They tried breast milk and every formula on the market. She broke the hospital record for most diapers changed on a shift.
Now my oldest on the other hand, 9 weeks in and out of labor. From 6 weeks early to 3 weeks late. They finally induced but only because I was 3 cm dilated.
