Hi Nina
I hope you don't mind me butting in. I am not pregnant but have got two children (the last was born nearly two years ago). My first labour was a belly labour and, although I thought I couldn't do it, I had him on gas and air and pethidine (he is nearly six now). My daughter I had a back labour and I lasted 10 hours with no pain relief whatsoever (was planning a natural birth) then had an epidural. I am a bit of a whip when it comes to pain and you will be surprised what you can do when the thought of your baby coming edges you on. If you need pain relief have it. Good luck - it sounds like your baby will be born soon.
Take care
dont mind at all -- advice is free and we r all friendly here! thanks for the input!
sunflower -- really sorry to hear you are rapidly deteriorating -- they should just give you what you want, and if thats a section, then so be it! its your choice...and you would be giving informed consent!
on my news front -- i have declined my date of may 7th for the section...seeing as i have not developed preeclampsia and so far feel great (all blood work has been normal each week for 2 months!)...I see no reason why I shouldnt have a trial of labor...
i went in today for a second stretch and sweep -- but this mw couldnt do anything productive...have to wait til next week! that's fine by me...just happy to know that baby is engaged and still needs to drop down 1-2 stations and she's in the zone! lol
sonkie...hold out a bit more...baby will be here sooooooooo soon! try and get some rest and relaxation -- and put that household of 'men' to serve you!!! hahaha, i bet easier said than done!
bea -- when do you plan to stop working? and will you try to find out baby's sex during next week's scan?
have a great weekend ladies!
