I'm so excited for you .Tanya! Good
luck!!!!! 
i'll be thinking of you.. It can be a bit
frustrating if the gel stuff doesn't set
things off right away, but you'll have
your baby girl in your arms before you
know it! I loved my labour, and i'd do it
all again in a second.. I'm so glad I
didn't have an epidural, I might sound
crazy but the urge to push was an amazing
feeling for me.
I totally know what you mean about the
existing thing.. I often just have
moments where I think "sh*t.. I actually
exist". Mental.

Tanya, I agree with .Kia's first post! If
anyone can do it drug free, it's *you*!!
You are a very very determined person who
knows what she wants!
I'm not gonna say much more because people
might think that I think i'm better cuz I
went drug free.
But know that the less drugs the baby
takes in, the better!
Reguardless, you'll do great!!!
I can't wait to seeee herrrr! Aren't you
and .Krissy the only ones left?!?!?
Ahhh!!!
Good .Luck! You and your daughter will be
in my prayers!
Sarah :d

It's funny. When I woke up the second
time today I felt so much more brave about
this birth thing than I have in the last
weeks.
Do most hospitals let someone stay
overnight with you? Cause mine doesn't.

Yeah, they definitely have seen worse.
I didn't even know I was going on the
table until someone told me. Trust me,
you don't care.
Tanya, just do what you can! You never
know how your labor's going to be until
you're in it. I talked soooo much
smack about not having an epi. There
was noooo way I would have made it through
without one.
*edited bcuz tanya has to go in today*

Did they actually tell you that you were

bothered to tell you.

completely effaced a while back, so i'm a
little confused why my cervix still needs
softening???) and then the next morning
they'll start pitocin.

Lol at your poop talk. I guess it
wouldn't be that big of a deal. What i'm
not looking forward to is the nurse's
checking my panties and having to call
them if you pass any clots in the toilet
(after having her) so they can look at
them... Ewie. That's what my friend
said happened with her, I don't like the
sounds of that.

i was only given two doses of the gel and
then my waters were broken once I got to
4cm. I was definitely having strong
contractions after the second dose, the
first one started mild contractions but
things were going very slowly and I only
got to 1cm.
Maybe when they check you they won't
bother with the gel because you're already
effaced, and you'll get the pitocin
straight away. Either way.. Good luck!

i wouldn't mind getting started right
away. About two appointments ago I was 2
cm's dilated, and then the next week
between 2-3 cm's she said, so maybe i'm
even further and something happens right
away!
