BABY DUST 6 ~ Extra Super Sticky
Well , once again our main thread is getting full & hard to load , so I figured the time has come to start yet another chapter!.....Weird to think that this will probably be the thread some of us start talking about our birth experiences & posting actual baby pictures instead of tummy ones! and for others , its the start of a milestone! The 2nd trimester! YAY!
Quick Update ~ Doctors appt today went okay , head is down & engaged & im about 60% effaced but cervix is still closed , My doctor is gone until next Tuesday so as much as I want him out now im kinda scared without her there ..... Baby is like majorly active right now , but on the bright side I had a decent sleep last night so maybe that means things are calming down & i'll get some rest before baby comes!......Next appt is Wednesday unless something changes!
Any baby updates? Ash? Hope your doing well & enjoying your adorable little boy!
Princess sounds like your ready to go anytime now too! Good thing me you & Krissy dont live close or have to go to the same hospital , be a fight to see who gets the best delivery room LOL......Its amazing to think our babies will all be so close , its awesome we've got to share so much about pregnancy & then next the newborn stage!!!

Hkenny is right, unfortunately there are doctors alot of them out there who try and force on us things, and we should have the choice to say yes or no!! I
I was going to go naturally too, until it was twins and I decided just incase I would take the epidural that way if an emergency c section had to be done I was already frozen!!
Maybe this time around I will do it without the epidural too, but I am nervous about hearing women who go through 24-48 hrs of labor, and I don't want to go that long feeling contractions lol

dont worry hun, she'll be here soon! you know my aunte was the same didnt want anything and wanted a natural birth, they offered her an induciton too and she refused it. she wasnt even dilated at all at that point. next day went into labour and the day after that delivered all naturally a healthy almost 9 pound baby boy!! and she claimed it only really hurt for 20 minutes. if you want natural try your best to get it, i think doctors just dont understand (is he male?) i think they see so many women get the drugs now a days they dont understand some of us would prefer to do it naturally. our bodies were made to give birth so as long as everything goes smoothly there should be no reason why its not obtainable. pretend you are in the 1800's. :P
I heard and was told that, that drug they induce you with is supposed to be really good and really make labor come on etc.... Unfortunately for me I was on it from 9-4pm and I still was only 3 cm dilated so there for I did not change at all from being on that drug so I was pretty confused, but they broke the water and 5hrs later my boys were born.
I've heard horror stories of the epidural too, but I had no problem what so ever with it=) but to each their own.

princesska-i'm so happy for you and your little boy!!!! can't wait for the pictures!! so did you actually get induced? my doctor is talking to me about that option and i don't want to because i'm worried i will need an epidural--i really don't want one but have heard that pitocin is impossible!!!
katebud-still here... i wish i had good news to report :-(
keeks-girl, i feel your pain! i've been crying all day. i wish someone would tell me an emotional breakdown was a labor sign! your doctor seems even more useless than mine! actually, my doctors are fine...it's the nurses and secretaries at my office that are the morons.
update-i'm sad and discouraged. still 1cm dialated just as i was the last 3 weeks. physically, i'm still feeling fine, but emotionally, i'm all done! my doctor offered me an induction next week but i refused it. i want to go all natural and am afraid i won't be able to if they give me pitocin. doctor acts like i am crazy for refusing, but i'm really afraid to be induced...but i'm afraid that if i keep waiting she won't come out and then she will be huge and i will end up with a csection. i really don't know what to do and my heart and mind are so exhausted!

6 hours between feedings??? I would kill for that. I have to wake mason up every 3 hours to feed(but he actually wakes me up instead). He eats 4 ozs every 3 hours..if you try to do less he just wont have it and will be fussy till he gets that 1/2 oz still in there. Congrats on your boy!!!
Where is everyone else?? Mandy and krissy and keeks????????
