Hi I hope to get some advise. I don't no
any thing about having a baby. Well I no
some but not much. Like the plug. I no
what it looks but how do you no when it
comes out is there something you feel or
do you just see it. My do date is march
22nd. I plan to have him the natural
way. Do you think this is crazy. I no it
is going to hurt. But I don't want the
epidural. So any advise would help thanks

Hi. I'm lana, 25, 2 girls ages 2.5 and
11 mos, married 6 years. I was hoping
you'd introduce yourself. I saw your
first post in another thread. Anyway,
welcome to our home. Congrats on your
baby.

Hi and welcome
im tanya 28 with 5 children and one on the
way. Im due may 23. Btw. It is all up
to you and your body wether you can handle
pain or not. If you are a sucker for pain
then you might want to try something to
help.. About the mucus plug. It is
called bloody show/snot. Sorry that is
how it was explained to me. Some people
dont even know that they have lost there
plug at all. So it is hard to tell you.
Some people can loose them early and they
grow back so. Good luck im sure
everything will be okay

Oops, forgot about your questions. Yeah,
my mucus plug looked like thick bloody
snot. Ewww, this is so nasty at times.
Lol well, I had both of my girls w/o an
epidural and it wasn't too bad. If you
have a high pain tolerance you should be
fine. I'm also more of a mental and not
a physical pain person. I've heard
horror stories about epis not working or
things going wrong (having a needle stuck
in your spinal cord just does not sound
right to me) so I decided I wouldn't get
one. B/c if I had it in my head that I
was going to get it and it didn't work or
whatever then I would really be in pain.
Kind of like when you have to go to the
bathroom and it gets worse the closer you
get to a bathroom. Lol

Sign up for lamaze... I plan to do
natural too... Well see if I can handle
it but I dont really want the
epidural...
I'm due march 8th, and no signs of mucus
plug yet... So just be patient..
I highly advise that you sign up for a
lamaze/child birthing class if your going
natural... They will teach you relaxation
techniques and all... Sign up now! Ask
your doc about classes!
I started mine as of feb 1st so its not
too late I promise :)
look up natural relaxation techniques and
ways of producing easy labor online...
Such as my friend found an old wives tale
saying a like tsp of vinager helps and she
had a 3 hour process from cramps to water
breakage to getting to hospital to getting
a room to delivering to having the baby
back in her arms... In 3 hours. :)
and start walking love :)

I took the a pre-preg class, but I didn't
use any of the breathing techniques. Not
saying you shouldn't take one though. I
know if I didn't then I would have been
wondering why through my whole labor.
Lol

Thanks I planed on talking to my doctor
monday about the classes. They may and
may not work. But I dont see what it
would hurt in taking them anyways. They
say the breathing they teach realy helps.
So thanks for the advise. Every one has
been a realy big help. Danyell
p.S. Im realy glad I found this place and
people like you

Lying on your left side and lots of
'rest', I don't know if they put you on
bed rest. Just take it easy. Not too
much salt, lots of water. Call your doc
and ask to speak with a nurse and tell her
what's going on. She'll give you advice
or have you come back in.

Try taking an epsom salt warm bath then
going to sleep... Switch positions around
and always keep your feet elevated...
Even alittle... But focus on staying on
your left side...
Or you can try going for a walk or
cleaning or something to get the blood
flood going

Congrats on the baby. Me and my hubsand
is trying to have a baby.
Try not to eat alot of salt. My sister
started swelling when she was pregnant
with her first baby. And she was put on
bed rest well that is all the doctor told
her to do. But a couple of days later she
found out that she had that toxicam
pregnancy. She lost that baby because the
doctor went out of town on vacation the
doctor of her appointment. And it was
like a day or two after her doctor's
appointment that she went into labor. I
am not saying that is what you have
because alot of women swell in they get
pregnant. But the doctor that deliver my
sister's baby then told her that the other
doctor should have done a test of some
kind and told her to stay away from salt.
But I am sure that you don't have that
because you are closer to your due date
then my sister was. But now my sister has
three healthy kids and all three of them
pregnancy went great for her. No problems
of any kind. Expect being grumpy. But I
guess that is not a problem. And a
congrats on the baby.

Hey Got a Question
Posted: 02-09-05 08:46am
|
|
|
|
|
When you have your baby how long do you
bleed afterwards. Do you have your period
right after or how does that work. He is
10 days old and I am still bleeding. I
just want to make sure that is normal.
Danyell :d

Thanks for the good luck. Probably going
to need all the luck we can get to be get
pregnant. That is good that the doctor's
is want to keep a check on you. There is
alot of doctors out there who would tell
you that they will see you the next month.

I had my last baby in march. What's your
due date? My daughter will be one march
3!! It is scary, but it's so exciting.
Once you realize you're really in labor
and evan will be here soon, you'll fill up
with excitement and your adrenaline starts
pumping. The good emotions and the
adrenaline (lol) helped me to cope with
the pain.
