Re: RH- rhogam

[Guest guest]

You can do the Lamze or other breathing techniques. You can also talk to her

about being calm when she has the baby. Too many women scream and act a fool

when giving birth, it doesn't have to be that way. Start talking to her about

being calm and talk about the steps of labor and the level or contractions.

Nothing can really prepare you for the pain, but let her know she can do it.

Help her by talking about how to handle it before it comes. Use this time to

talk about how to respond. Tell her yes it hurts, but that she needs to be calm

and breathe.Practice with her.

My daughter has PDD and when she needs to have blood drawn or whatever, I tell

her we can do her favorite thing or buy something she likes. The Disney store

is her favorite place, so we just keep talking through it until it is finished.

Keep us posted on the pregnancy and how labor goes! Yes, they can give

Dimerol. Something many woman do not know, is that they do not give you pain

medication until your about 20 minutes away from delivery and then it prolongs

your labor- always.

She wouldn't be able to see the epidural going into her spine, and

if she is in that much pain, she might be willing to let them do

that. I didn't think I would be able to handle a needle in my spine

either, but I definitely wanted it half way through labor. It did

NOT slow my labor down, I wish it would have, lol, my son was

anxious to get into the world. Anyway, when faced with the choice of

labor pains or needle in the back, I ended up choosing the needle.

She might too. You probably won't know until it happens, but it

would be good to talk about all the possible scenarios well before

the big day arrives.

Good luck to you both!

I'd be makin' Aimee watch every Discovery Health and TLC Channel

live birth and c-section that I could get her to sit through at this

point. The more she KNOWS, the better.

If she wants to talk to me, tell me when to call her. I went into

labor, pushed for 2 hours, and did not move the baby at all, and had

to be taken in for a c-section.

Twins were scheduled c-section.

I had an epidural for one (that was the one where I was in labor,

and I promise, I did not care one bit that they were sticking a

needle in my back because I hurt too much in other places at that

time), and a spinal for the other.

This one we already do almost daily to expose her to all the things

that could be to happen to her during delivery. I to feel it is of

good for her to know the words and things that might take place for

her to be aware of it all. She does seem to gain from them as like

in the begin she to say I to want to delvier the baby by C section I

to say no that is reserved for complications. She to say no I to

want one until she to seen one being done on TV she to get so sick

she to gagged and ran to the bathroom and then says she changed of

her mind LOL and does not want one. I to had to explain that the C

sections are reserved for complications and needs to get the baby

out.

Thanks for all the suggestions. My aimee does not need to see the

needle but if she knows one is coming she reacts.
