I was 15 and scared to death and the protestors outside saw fit to hand me a lot of pamplets of abortions, complete with pictures of aborted babies. SO not right. I was there for a test not an abortion. If I had one planned I don't think pictures would have changed my mind.justmylifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11374379802087502624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-49556662998978961822008-05-05T23:33:00.000-04:002008-05-05T23:33:00.000-04:00umm. that Scott post?

Personally, I...Wow, sometimes people are such nuts! Personally, I'd wonder what was wrong with you if you weren't (sorta) contemplating a c-section at this point in the pregnancy. With my first child, I had false (so they said, anyway - I'm not so sure) labor for a solid month. It was so convincing that I went to the hospital 4 or 5 times that last two weeks just to be sent home again. (come back when your contractions are 5 minutes apart, come back when your contractions are 5 minutes apart for several hours, come back when your contractions are two minutes apart for an hour, blah, blah, blah) After the second time my doctor told me there was no way I'd make it to the next appointment without giving birth, I called and begged/threatened him to do something NOW or ELSE! He sent me to the hospital where I delivered right after he threatened me with a c-section after over 2 hours of pushing. (Because at that point, you know, after pushing for 2 hours, I was damned if I was giving up then).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560243752358375819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-89430633269281068872008-05-05T22:38:00.000-04:002008-05-05T22:38:00.000-04:00I have so, so been where you are.

The cord wrapped three times around his neck and he never would have survived the pushing, let alone a home birth.<BR/><BR/>Luckily, I was at a top Chicago trauma center and they were able to extract Garcon surgically in about 5 minutes when his heart rate plummeted to 35 bpm. He was blue when they pulled him out. And now two years later, he's fine.<BR/><BR/>If you want a natural birth, skip drugs, choose a hospital that allows a doula/midwife, but for god sake - when you're jumping out of the plane, have a parachute available!ChicMama!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14433099039913541302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-6206005607888144072008-05-05T12:08:00.000-04:002008-05-05T12:08:00.000-04:00First: Amen to "Go away bad assvice givers."

I'm also convinced that I don't have ass/advice for you that is new or creative or different from what you know/have heard already. However, this is what I would like to share with you -<BR/><BR/>As a Momma of two boys I have learned a couple of things. <BR/>1) Decide if it's really worth fighting about. If not, then let it go. (sometimes cooked carrots stuck to the ceiling is just not worth the temper tanrum you would have to throw in order to get her to stop launching them at the cat, much less eat them) If it is, then you better be willing to go toe to toddler toe until you win.<BR/>2) Don't assume that what worked with the first will work with the second. More than likely they will be night and day different. I love that about my boys. Thing1 I understand completely. He is so much like me. We think alike. We talk alike. I can predict his reactions to situations down to the tone of his voice. Thing2 is a completely foreign species to me. I don't understand the way he processes information or gets to the conclusions that he does. Because of this, I've learned a lot about myself from both of them.<BR/>3) Once they have removed the parasite from your abdomen, try to remember at least once a day that you are one of the luckiest women on the planet. If you find it's harder some days than others, wine always helps.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations!SPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10832572070553635619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-48616002110887618632008-05-05T11:53:00.000-04:002008-05-05T11:53:00.000-04:00I've had both, and how anyone could choose ass-rip...I've had both, and how anyone could choose ass-ripping vaginal delivery over a drug-induced, can't-feel-anything-but-the-tugging c-section is beyond me...<BR/><BR/>I say, don't knock it till you tried it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-31852247889736551762008-05-05T10:40:00.000-04:002008-05-05T10:40:00.000-04:00Delurker here to say that I've always felt that pe...Delurker here to say that I've always felt that people need to keep their minds out of my uterus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-57937697999285762532008-05-05T10:34:00.000-04:002008-05-05T10:34:00.000-04:00Healthy baby is the goal.
