I Think I May Be In Trouble Any Advise
Posted: 09-10-05 21:13pm

Hello everyone I am already a mother of a soon to be 4yr old boy and I think me and my hubby screwed up royally. I left him up to the birth control aspect of sex so he buys condoms of course and on the 6th which was my fertil moment. 14 days after plus I check my cervical mucus and so I know when to be the most careful. Well we were careful until the end when we realized the condom fell off. Of cousre my hubby not reading the package didnt realize that it was not the spermicidal lubricant brand. :cry:
i just wanted to know what are the possiblities of me getting pregnant durining this time. I have been expericaning cramping for the last 2 days. Not like menstral cramps either. I just confused really because if I am, I definitely was not trying or anything. My hubby and I agreed to just have our son and I was fine with that especially after 19 hours of natural child birth.

Hi there. Pregnancy in that situation is always a possibility, but I would try not to stress about until your period comes (or doesn't). Stress can prolong your cycle which will only add to your stress...If ya get my drift. Ps...Maybe you should pick out the condoms from now on :wink: good luck

Well, Sounds Like God Had Other Plans For Ya

Maybe god had other plans, besides only child is usually a very sad place for a kid. Two is good. Now a girl would be good, then stop!! I had 36 1/2 hours with the first son, 26 hours with the second so 19 not so bad when I look at it. Right?

Good luck

I never pay any attention to supposed"fertile" days- I concived my first child while on the pill- and I never missed a single one ever, so should have had no "fertile days at all"
the daughter I am currently 32 weeks pregnant with was conceived two days after my period - in our second month of trying, after we'd gotten sick and tired of waiting for the magic day and counting everything, and having sex when we were'nt that keen, just because it was the "right" time, and then not having sex when we did feel like it because we were saving ourselves for the right day !!!!!

As for the birth, ?I will say one thing, but i'll say it agin and again...

Epidural, epidural, epidural !!!!!!!!!!

I had one with my first, and it was wonderful !!!!!!

Good luck either way.

I really am not stressing about it. Its just one of those things that I just cant afford to happen right now. When I think about it more of what I have done the last couple of days are the same things I did when I was pregnant with my son. Just wanting to drink milk and quiting smoking before I found out I was pregnant with him. The smell of them right now make me sick. The none stop eating( which could be from me quiting smoking). Like I said I am not stressing on it just a concerned on the similarities.

I dint believe in epidural--actually my fears of it were confirmed a couple years ago. Anyway, I had my children without and I thought it was the most wonderful thing. The only thing I wish I hadnt missed was my last son, was a c/section--i dint see him born. My first son they gave me some kind of pain killer injestion, made me very groggy when he finally came-36 1/2 hours. My middle--daughter I was induced from the beginning and no pain meds at all--totally natural I loved it--wanted to do it with my 3rd son. But he had other plans and needed c/sec after a few hours also induced.

Never Never Never
Posted: 09-11-05 17:55pm

I could never get an epideral. Never. No way. I feel that if god wanted me to get pregnant then I was made to do it naturally. I did it with my son 19hrs of natural labor and that is why I would never want another one. I had way too many complications after he was born, they were about to do and emergency c-section as soon as they said that I quit hemeraging.

Natural is great but some females do not have a high pain tolerance and their are times that things happen and we do need a little help! Something that is really funny is to watch the fathers, you would think @ times that they need something for the pain or a relaxer, some are worse off then the mothers in delivery!

Really high tolerance for pain has nothing to do with it... I swear my first 3 kids were like nope your not getting one of those and my last one I said this time I want one.. Really 3 natural, quick ( i'm a lucky one) and easy my last on was painful as heck and well I couldn't stand 2 more mins I begged for one and it was heaven... It depends on if you think you can do it or not. My first was 4 1/2 hours ( see told you), second was 1 1/2 hours ( even luckyer, 15 mins after walking in the er), 3rd was 6 hours ( not as lucky but still lucky enough, got an eppy and 2 mins after needle was in out she came) and my last was over 18 hours.. I had her 4 hours after my eppy. So for 14 hours I was in pain, then 4 hours of total bliss.. The only thing I hate is that cathiter, but I didn't have to feel it that last time. Eppys just numb your pain... Its just like taking tylanol for a headache.. Just they stick a needle in your back. It all depends on yout tolerance and how well you can handle it...

When I had my daughter in '91 I had a horrible time. I went into the hospital on a monday night. They said I had probably been in labor/dialating all that day. Well by 6 or 7 pm monday night is when the back labor started. My goodness I thought for sure my back was going to split open! It hurt so bad I cried. My hubby at the time massaged it with lotion, but it did not help.

I ended up calling my parents an hour or two later and they took us to the hospital. I had already dialated some, but would not progress. They fnally gave me an epidural. I tell you what. After they gave me that epi I pretty much slept the rest of the time until the nurse got the doc, and he came in and told me it was time to push. My mom said according to the monitor I was having really hard contractions, but I slept through it. Didn't feel a thing. I was so relaxed that I didn't even have to have stitches. She was born 7:35 tuesday morning.


The downside is that my daughter came out face up. With my already retroflexed cervix/uterus, and her coming out like that it was no wonder I had such hard labor. After she was birthed I started bleeding out. They couldn't figure out why. My hemoglobin dropped down from the normal 11 - 13 to 5.2 I had to have a blood transfusion to save my life.

I do not believe the epi caused this to happen, and I plan on getting one again with this baby. My back has already been hurting from the beginning, so I know the labor is going to be very similar to my first one.

No, Not Like Tylenol
Posted: 09-14-05 11:35am

It is very safe now adays, but it is still risky procedure and can cause paralization temp or even poss permanent. (in my case I could have died.) I have never believed in them I laid in hospital bed next to a girl who had went paralized from one.

Then a couple years ago I had to have my "spinal cord punchered" for a dye test in my spinal cord and spinal column. The procedure went fine, but I developed a leak. My spinal fluid was running into my body. I was drinking 64 oz water cups ever couple of hours. Constant severe headache for 5 days, vomiting from the pain. When I lay my head to one side I could fill my cerebral fluid run to one side. So I was like 1/2 empty. Worse than any migraine I ever had--and I had those for 8 years. I had to ride the carts thru the store coulldnt even walk, pain so bad. Then I had emergency trip to hospital to put a blood patch in my spinal cord to stop the leaking.

Yes there is compucations it all depends on your situation. Theres risks in everything think about it would you take tylonal if they stated "warning choking hazzard" for adults ( not kids its not safe for them at all) but still you take them to releieve pain i'm just saying that you take a chance of chokeing everytime you eat or drounding from drinking. Everything in life has risks. Yes I wouldn't want to be paralized or wish it on anyone but its a small risk per the doctors. Sorry anyway like I said its really up to you...
