Due December 2012! Christmas Babies!

[dloui128]

Frankly, I love epidurals! I told the doctor to give me one today and I would just keep the drugs going until labor in December. He wouldn't do it. Spoilsport!

The epidural had with DS3 wore off pretty quickly, and I was able to walk around almost immediately. I think it may depend on the doctor giving it.

lol too funny Yuzu

Yeah I've had a good experience on them! My labours were still pretty fast! It numbed my pain but not my lower region so I could feel them coming! I didn't tear and had no stitches and was walking pretty quick afterwards! The midwife said its because I'm fit!
Needagirl it's so surreal! I read back at you finding out and thought she's so lucky I'll never hear that! I just can't wait now to have her here safe and sound! It's soooo long to wait
I feel like its my first pregnancy again and I'm trying to picture what it'll be like!!

I delivered my first 2 kids 100% drug free and felt great AFTER it was all over. I did love being able to get up and move around etc.

With #3 I had an epidural. I was stalled at 6 cm overnight (walking ALL night long) and it took me to 10 cm within 2 hours. easiest delivery ever. It almost seemed too easy. I get great satisfaction from pushing a baby out and I feel i missed out on that. I was up and walknig within an hour. Was very, very easy.

With #4 he was breech so I had to have a c-section....felt gutted like a fish. Hated the long recovery.

So I am hoping to have a VBAC with this one and will have the epidural since each delivery hurts more each time and then I'll have it ready if I end up with any complications....well, that's the "plan".

So I am for them if you feel you need it!...and there is nothing wrong with needing it.

Wow! How are you twin moms feeling? I feel like by the end of the day my gut is so huge already that I am having twins!! I saw the midwife this week and I am measuring about 3 weeks ahead! DS#1 was 7lb7oz, DS#2 was 8lb6oz so I have been joking forever that if I ever had another baby, it would be 9lb5oz. I think she is headed there!!

you're looking good NeedAGirl

maybe this weekend I will try and take a belly pick

[fivebabies]

Great pic NeedAGirl! You look fantastic!

So who has a baby name picked out??

[Yuzu]

You look great, NeedAGirl! I have a tendency to just look fat all over, rather than pregnant. Not cute.

Needagirl you look really gorgeous, I'm usually slim but when I'm pregnant I look huge. I have a flat stomach and small boobs normally even after the boys. I put on weight on my bum and arms, so I usually dress for that shape, when I'm pregnant that goes out the window and i just look yuk!! I always get a rounder face as well, I always look at pregnant women like you with envy haha!! At least it's temporary.

I'm finding names really difficult any nice girl suggestions? I'm 36 and have loads of cousins and nieces and nephews. I have 7 close girl friends from childhood and we all have kids, all the good names are gone I thought about boys names the whole time and I actually think there are lots of nice ones but because I haven't been considering a girl I don't know where to start!

Is that the norm that each delivery should hurt more each time?I thought that they should get easier and better?Oh my now im stressed,my second was worse in a way ?!

Hi ladies, so nice to hear you taking about deliveries time is flying ........I had this same question in my mind about epidural (do or not?) I had it both times and this time I was thinking maybe to go without any meds, but then having twins scares me a lot . Any suggestions? I am hoping that 3rd delivery will be easier and faster. Also, with this pregnancy i am experiencing short of breath and feeling tired all the time ((
