  • Good luck I wish you the best :)
  • If you read my post correctly I say "women who are scared INTO using drugs". There is a huge difference between knowing ur options and choosing one, as apose to choosing something and getting so much negative feedback from society that you…
  • It was never ment to criticize but only to commend natrual birth moms. And when I say I feel sorry for moms forced, I think of my cousin who has heart problems and was forced to do things a certain way. I'm very pro women having a choice for birth p…
  • I'm sorry :( are u planning to go natural for ur next baby?
  • My son is 2 we plan to have him with us when I give birth. Not the norm I know, but something we have prepared him for and an important day for our entire family. We feel like our son should be included in the experience.
  • I did all natural in the hospital and had a great experience. Yes I had to wear a stupid monitor, and get an iv, but these were the only requests my doc had. We had our plan we did bradley classes so we knew what was going on, and everything was gre…
  • I didn't do any of perineal massage or olive oil stuff... did all natural and didn't rip at all. My doc let me go at my own pace too. I'm a pretty small person, I think I didn't rip because I pushed at my bodys pace not the doctors. I think its i…
  • I had back labor and it wasn't that bad. I did bradley method classes so my husband and I understood what was going on. We quickly switched from me being on my back, to being on all fours. I had one person holding my hands and two people on each sid…
  • Try the cashews. They have good omega 3s for baby and are a natural mood enhancer for you. Is very hard to get past this, but you and your baby are worth the struggle.
  • I dropped one f bomb only once when I thought I could move durring a contraction while in transition. Other then that one moment my birth was mostly quiet on my part. But like I said I had about 20 hospital staff wanting to see a natural birth so th…
  • Is it crazy to everyone else that it seems like all strangers and distant relitives want is to share all of their negative and scary birth stories with you. My first son I had people come up to me while I was shopping to share their negative experie…
  • It was kinda nice to give my nurse a smug smile when she told me she was going to get another nurse to help me into a stretcher to take me to my coupling room, and I told her I can get up myself. It threw her off that I could walk after my birth. So…
  • The exercise helps you keep up you endurance. Its like digging a ditch, not painful just work work work. As I deglamorize birth... its like taking a big dump. You push and push... its hard work. Then before u know it ur done... Again don't make th…
  • You probably won't have another ultrasound unless you are high risk
  • I would like to do home birth, but my obgyn was so amazing about my first natural birth I won't go to anyone else. We drive 1 hour and 30 min just to see him. And are planning to stay in a hotel near by the week of delivery. They are few and far bet…
  • Pooping does happen. In ur first stage of labor u will get a movement. Bradley has you still at home during this stage so no worries there. By the time you get to transition (the hard part of labor but a short period of time) you do sometimes have s…
  • Again we are told from an early age how horrible it is, but look at the birthing generations b4 us. They went through experimental birthdefect causing drugs, doctor controlled births where they would knock out the mom while the dad waited in the hal…
  • Also, as a way to balance out the slowing of ur contractions after an epidural they pit u. Pitoson is a drug used to speed up ur delivery by creating false contrations. Its extreemly painful and is what leads most women to get and epidural. It also …
  • Amen sister :) my baby was head down but facing the wrong way, so my birth should have been harder then a normal birth. I was fine. It was a hell of a lot of work, but not painful. it was uncomfortable at times (like period cramps) but as soon as t…
  • I think you should have confidence in yourself. We live an age of strong confident beautiful women and you are one of them. You are never alone. You are now in an elite club of motherhood. That makes you the most important person in the world to …
  • Same happened to me in my first pregnancy. I would have my husband coat me in cocobutter and wrap me in saranwrap belly and boobs. Less stretch marks no cracking. Also try not to get soap on ur nips while showering. It eliminates natural oils. And …
  • Hurray for 22nd babies :) my 2nd is due this day too.
