Atsaukina lol about your comment "no way there were putting that thing in my back". I felt the same way and the next go round I am sticking to my guns. There is NO WAY I am letting them put that thing in my back again, lol

I didn't want to have a needle pierce my spinal membrane either. With DS1, I wasn't at all prepared for the pain and was hollering for the epi as I was being wheeled through the hospital doors. With DS2, I did a lot of research about labour and delivery and what it could be if you were prepared and relaxed. I opted to stay home with #2 because I figured that if I was in a place that couldn't offer me an epi, than I couldn't very well ask for one. I figured the best way to steer clear of the epi and any other interventions was to steer clear of the hospital itself. To each their own, though. I don't expect that EVERY woman would choose what I did. Like Hoping said, as long as they get here happy and healthy, that's all that matters in the end.

P.S. No news from Maple, eh? I thought it was today...maybe I'm wrong.

Well I had an amazing nurse and she got it in one try. Phew! Now with my son, I labored for 16 hours before I even asked for anything. I did two doses of stadol or Demerol...not sure which it was and then after about 19 hours I said forget this...give me the good stuff. Unfortunately, the epi didn't work and I was still in pain until I delivered...another 3 hours later, lol. As some friends of mine said, I hope I fart and this one comes out :rofl:

So yes cvd after hearing all of that drama then surgery does sound nice.

Ah!! That's what happened to me, they tried to put it in 4 times I think before it would take, my veins kept "closing" they said. Ouch. Seems like hours when that happens haha I hope I get a nurse like yours this time! I hope this labour is easy for you!!

Love your enthusiasm girls!

It's less than 24 hrs away now, lol. Yip - 1 pm Thursday for me. I could be in the depths of depression this time tomorrow : ( So anxious. Glad I have you all to share with. We are not telling friends or family - my Mum thinks we are selfish, and my MIL had a few choice words to say also. I dont care, if it's boys I can't cope with the thoughtless feedback.

I will check in tomorrow morning prior to leaving the house! XX

Goodluck Maple.

Can't wait to hear your update maple!!
