so i just thought id update..for anyone that cares..i had some serious cramps this morning..like menstrual cramps....but it wasnt contractions cause it was like constant pain..not like coming and going the way contractions are supposed to be..and eventually it went away, so yea im still not in labor or anything. but it probably will happen soon ( Read more... )

Aw, you don't want a virgo, we're icky!

Aim for a Leo, I hear they are good kids :D

ive heard that somewhere too...

laurazahn August 17 2006, 00:34:09 UTC

aww come on! i have alot of very close friends that are virgos and they are great people! mother theresa was a virgo!..however leos have a tendency to be self-centered..and not respect authority..being the parent, id rather have a kid thats gonna mind what i say! i heard they are only good kids b/c they can take care of themselves..dont like to be babied ya know..i know they got there good points but if i had my choice id rather him be a virgo.....fidel castro was a leo..
and i guess a big part of it is b/c his dad is a leo, so i guess im scared of him turning out to be a little clone of him..which would for sure drive me nuts!

Aw, well, I never knew Mother Theresa was a Virgo...

I think I feel better about my sign now :D

Contractions/Labor isn't so bad. You'll do it and then it'll be over and eventually you won't even really remember how it felt anyway.

*Thinking Virgo*

P.S. I added you, I hope that's alright.

im assuming ur speaking from experience, in which case i appreciate the comfort..did u have an epidural or anything, or did u go au natural? im hoping i can do it w/o the drugs for as long as possible but we'll see..

I had a "spinal" - which is like an epidural but it makes your body more numb and it can (sometimes - not with me) make it harder to push. I had an epidural cathetar put in as well but I never ended up needing it - as I am very sensitive to drugs. A little goes a long way.
I did it without drugs for many hours - I don't remember how many. But they had to give me Petosin, which is a drug that makes you go into labor more...because I wasn't progressing fast enough. So Petosin (sp??) makes contractions worse, because it's speeding it all up, so at about 6cm dialated I got the shot.

It wasn't so bad. I don't think that natural is bad at all but neither is doing drugs. You feel it either way, but with drugs, I felt, you can really focus more on the birth of your baby than the pain you're dealing with. I've not done it natural though so I don't know about that experience.

What are you going to name le baby?

yea ive heard that usually when they give u petocin they will usually automatically give u drugs cause it makes the contractions so much worse..but im glad to hear u made it to 6cm before the shot, gives me hope! i just read too much and they say that if u can wait til u are at least 5 cm to get drugs that its much better for both u and the baby, so im hoping ill make it that far...i like to think i have a pretty high tolerence for pain so we'll see ( ... )
