Yeah, I think I can survive another week - it'll give me a last chance to hope for a girl before I see a big old penis staring at me on the screen :sigh:
Thanks, hobber - I need it!
So I saw my dr on wednesday and she said to me is there any reason why you have a 4 year gap between this baby and my ds and I said well yeah I am so scared to go through labour again and tbh I would of been happy with one child.. I know it sounds weak but i just remember when my ds was born I was so scared at what i had just been through.. and I remember thinking to myself its ok I have had one I never have to do this again. I know it sounds stupid but I cant help being scared even as my dr and i were talking about it she said look we better stop talking about labour because she did my bp 4 times and it kept going higher and higher! Anyway she said to me did you know that you do have options.. I said no like what? And she said to me if I was induced again I could choose to have an epidural as soon as I am induced or if i go naturally I can request one as early as I want and i cant be knocked back?? I remember when i was in labour i asked for one and they kept saying no to me I really think they coould of lied to me and said yes we are organising it just to give me some hope!! Anyway has anyone ever had an epidural and what was your experience? Maybe I should just toughen up but I just dont know how..
Pinkin - write a clear birth plan and if you want an epi state is clearly!! xxxxx
I don't know why I came on here since I'm not even preggers yet! But sunce I did... Pinkin I had an epidural with my 1st because I was induced and I don't think they did the induction very well plus baby was backwards and it wasn't very natural! Overlapping contractions etc! Anyway I ended up getting an epidural and felt nothing after! Of course it ended in a c section but if you're scared, an epidural will numb everything!
I did however try a natural with my 2nd and holy smokes what a difference from being induced!!! It was a natural progression of contractions and although still labour I could handle it because it progressed naturally without them messing with my contractions! In other words go in how you want but know to just go with what comes! It should be all about you and the baby and what you want!
With my d/s I had no birth plan, I was induced ( they broke my water and put me on a drip) It was the worst! I am going to make sure I get a birth plan and tell them what I want .. TTC5 have you ever had one?
