What is/ was you biggest fear about having an unmedicated birth?

Why did you choose to birth your baby in the location you did?

What one word would you use to describe the birth of your baby?]]> Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:07:46 -0400 http://www.allthingsparents.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=78868 http://www.allthingsparents.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=74804

I don't think you've posted your birth story here yet! Shame shame

I've seen your beautiful birth pictures, but we haven't heard the story yet!

Can you share when you get a chance?!?! You know~ sometime between taking care of a baby and 3 other kids

I was wondering if you could share your birth story with us! I'm not sure if you've shared it somewhere before, but I was curious how everything went!

I know it didn't go as planned and if you don't want to share b/c of that, I completely understand but I'd love to hear if you want to share

Do you have any recent pictures??

Please and thank you ]]> Wed, 06 May 2009 23:14:01 -0400 http://www.allthingsparents.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=71127 http://www.allthingsparents.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=70825

I'm feeling a bit nervous lately about having a natural labor I try not to "worry" about it b/c I know that worry and fear will be my biggest obstacle, but it's so hard to not be nervous.... I am only 1/2 way through so I keep telling myself to not get to worked up about it just yet, but it's been hard.... I've been watching a lot of labor videos and shows about labor and delivery and it makes me nervous.... it seems like most of the women who attempt a natural labor end up getting meds b/c they can't handle it anymore but the ones that have the natural labor seem to have a harder time but then they seem so much "better" afterward

I was induced with Grace using cervadil and I had a pretty easy labor.... I had a lot of back labor b/c she was in the posterior position but I never remember the pain being so awful that I felt like I was going to die I finally got my epidural at 7cm and I only got it at that point b/c I was afraid of what was to come and not b/c I was already in intense pain... but b/c I got the epi at 7cm, I did not get to experience transition and so I'm worried about that stage of labor.... PLUS, I know that every labor is different and just b/c my labor was not bad with Grace, doesn't mean it's going to be that way this time

So, anyway, I suppose I'm just looking for support and encouragement from you ladies

Thank you ]]> Thu, 30 Apr 2009 22:48:39 -0400 http://www.allthingsparents.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=70825 http://www.allthingsparents.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=70432 http://www.womensenews.org/article.cfm/dyn.../context/cover/

I found this pretty interesting!! What are your thoughts?]]> Thu, 23 Apr 2009 00:55:28 -0400 http://www.allthingsparents.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=70432 http://www.allthingsparents.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69274 but I can't remember ) but I was curious who here had a natural hospital birth attended by either an OBGYN or midwife? What was your experience like? What was your hospital staff like? Supportive of your decision or any attempt to "push" medications/interventions upon you? Please share

I will be delivering this baby at the hospital with my OBGYN, whom I LOVE, but was just curious what it was like for everyone else

Thanks!]]> Fri, 03 Apr 2009 21:49:05 -0400 http://www.allthingsparents.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69274 http://www.allthingsparents.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=68557 http://www.allthingsparents.com/forums/ind...showtopic=68555]]> Wed, 25 Mar 2009 21:00:44 -0400 http://www.allthingsparents.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=68557
