Thank you for sharing your experience!:)
And thank you for being so kind. Congratulations on your pregnancy and I think its great that you talk to women about csections. Pregnant women should really get as much information as possible on both natural and cesarean labor. I was so determined and sure I was going to deliver naturally that I never bothered to even think about having a csection. Emergencies do happen and not everything goes as planned all of the time so thank you for helping others :)!

@chefblu I think it is really sweet of you to try and help support and give advice as much as you can to women who want to go natural but dnt know much about it you are right the best advice comes from mother's not books or w.e else I would rather go to someone who went thru it before I do anything else congrats on your baby by the way I too am thinking about going natural with this one with my first I had the meds but they didn't working anyways so I choose to not be stabbed up for nothing but I had a c section and I try to come on here and help mother's to be who are terrified of c section and think it's the end of the world lol as mother's it's good for us to support each other as best as we can
@happymama20 I was in your same situation I didn't know I was pregnant because I kept bleeding when I found out I was 9 weeks almost 10 and I bled at least once a month for two months and it lasted almost a week went to the e.r so many times and they kept telling me the same thing the baby is fine but u might be in a early stage of miscarriage and I would be so hurt but I remembered to stay calm dnt stress out and just do my very best to keep my baby alive I took my pills stayed on bed rest for a week after every bleeding and made sure I sat and rested as much as I could I know it ***** especially when doctors say oh their nothing we can do but wait it out it pissed me off but just try to remain calm I am now 32 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby girl who I thought wouldn't make it but she did and she he kicking I didn't go through this with my first so it was really scary but thank god everything went good and I'm hopeful it will go good for you too hun

No problem!(: I didn't really have anyone to talk to either so I was always on this app. The women on here helped me in so many ways and I will be forever grateful and try my best to do the same for others :). Good luck sweetie and if you need anything else feel free to ask or message me (:

I did not bleed at all during my pregnancy but I have known women that did. As for the cramping and bleeding at the same time please bring that up to your doctor immediately! I can't tell you wether or not everything is okay because I'm not a doctor unfortunately :( I wish I could comfort you better and give you a better answer. If you don't want to go to the ER maybe try and move your ultrasound appointment up. Good luck to you and your angel! Keep your head up and think positive♡

Yes I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant.I was diagnosed at around 35 weeks. When I got the news I was devastated and (at work) cried my eyes out because I thought I was harming my baby. I met with a dietician and she helped me with a meal plan. I was only allowed a certain amount of carbs per meal and I had to eat three meals and three snacks everyday. I had to check my sugar four times a day as well. If you have it I do recommend that you seek a dietician. Mine helped a lot and I no longer have it. My baby had to get his blood drawn three times once he was born to make sure his sugar was okay and he was perfectly fine. If you're really concerned you can start by not drinking drinks with a lot of sugar. Try not to have fruit and milk in the morning (contains a lot of sugar) and walk at least ten minutes after every meal. Don't be nervous you will be fine! :)

Thankyou so much ChefBlu` that helped alote will keep all that in mind! Thankyou heaps i have no one really to ask or get advice from so i really appriciate it im very nervous snd excited so thankyou so nuch your advice is well in my mind congrats on your son X
First off, I would like to say congrats on being a mother . It's the greatest blessing I have ever recieved. I am a mother myself. I have a 10& a half month old daughter with another baby on the way. I another currently 7 weeks & 2 days pregnant. I went to the E.R. last Sunday night due to old blood (dark brown) discharge and I thought it was something bad. They told me baby looks fine and that if I'm going to have a miscarriage that there is nothing that I or they can do to stop it. Well last night, I went to the bathroom to pee and as I got off the toilet seat, right before I was going to flush, the water in the toilet was red. Like a light red...I started crying and shaking right away. My husband told me that I have nothing to worry about since every pregnancy is different and that it's probably nothing. He's not that worried about it since we have an ultrasound appointment with my gyno on Tuesday. This morning I woke up with mild cramping on my right ovary I believe. I have no better way of describing it. My question to you is: did you have anything like this occur while you were pregnant? I didn't have any bleeding whatsoever while I was pregnant with my daughter so I'm really freaked out. I hate going to the E.R. because whenever I go, they tell me that the baby is fine at this point and then they just give me a heads up like it could possibly be a threatened miscarriage. I feel like I'm losing my mind. Idk. I just hope everything is ok with my little baby.
Hey! If iremember correctly you had gestational diabetes during your pregnancy? After you had your baby did it go away?? Itook the glucose test on Wednesday just waiting for the results , im pregnant w.my 3rd... & im showing symptons of diabetes so im super scared/nervous im 32 wks . W.my other 2 pregnancies ipassed & no symptons @all. Btw : Congrats!!! ( :
Oh almost forgot...
Remember to breathe through the contractions and relax your body as much as possible (that's what I meant by giving in to the contractions). (:

Congratulations on your pregnancy!
When I gave birth to my son (natural) I did three things that I think helped me a lot. The first thing I did was give my nurse and doctor my birth plan. I discussed it with them and explained that I wanted to go natural and would appreciate their support by not throwing drugs at me (but keeping them available if needed) and just helping me stay as comfortable as possible. The second thing I did was give in to the contractions and change positions when needed. Fighting the contractions only makes the pain feel worse and changing positions will help you get more comfortable and in my case it sped up my delivery which was only seven hours long. By being in multiple positions it allowed my baby to drop a lot quicker. Third, have a great support system in the room with you. For me, that was my hubby and nurse. Have them talk to you to keep you distracted or if you prefer quite have them dim the lights and massage your back (helped me a ton). Don't worry sweetie.. your body was made for this and you can do it! Just remember the reason why you're doing it and it will be all worth it. Also, if you feel that you need the epidural than please get it. Good luck hun! And I hope I helped a little :)
