Very distracting! I kept bending the IV thingie in my arm every time I moved making the machine beep very loud beeps until a nurse came and pushed a button . I hated that thing...So if you can avoid IVs I would.

Because a laboring woman isn't sick. She can stay hydrated by actually drinking
But Red said that she is wicked scared of needles- so I think it good to refuse the IV--which is pointless anyway. It just gets in the way and restricts freedom of movement. For people who have some other issues going on- you can always get a hep lock.

You know, my birth instructor said something that turned out to be true so far... Labor is the easy part, it's raising the kids after they are born that is hard! So true, daily raising my children is harder than surviving a day of labor, LOL!

My BP was too high for me to have a natural birth, so I got some pain meds and an epi three minutes before he was born. I glad cause he was soo big I needed an episiotomy and got 8-10 stitches. It wasn't how I hoped it would go, but I'm glad I did what they said. My pre-e had me pretty darn close to having a seizure if my body got too stressed.

2 sections. Still looked back on with sadness. Birth no. 1 was pretty horrible so not good reading for pg ladies! DS no 2 did not engage at all, so after the problems with DS no 1, I accepted with reluctance that a section at 39 weeks would be better than going through birth number 1 again. Turned out to be a good thing, as placenta was almost over cervix, so major bleeding risk, and cord was 3 times round his neck (hence no engagement).
IF I get pg again *prays very hard* I still don't know how I woud birth no. 3. Vaginal no meds would be my ideal, but I can't quite lose the fear of the scar-tissue tearing risks (ie me and baby die in a matter of minutes)... I do have responsibilities towards my other children and DH, after all. It can't be just about what I want.

Not from me, sometimes I would watch A Baby Story on tv but it would just freak me out instead of calm me

You know, I watched "Laugh and Learn About Childbirth" because it was the only birthing DVD I could find, and I wasn't that impressed. I had more luck with reading.

I'm almost positive I don't care what you think

It always made me cry because I would be like "When will mine come out?!"...of course now I'm not pregnant anymore and I still cry because now I'm like "When do I get to do that again?"
I just can't win for losing when I watch that show.

Girl, maybe its too fresh, but I could really go without ever birthing again...... of course we want more bab(ies) and they have to come out somehow
