Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 Elle, I'm with you.. not giving up on a vaginal delivery despite the fact that one dr (my old dr's partner) told me it was pretty much hopeless... If we give up hope then we definitely won't be able to at least try. The unpacking is at a stall... We have about 4 or 5 boxes that had to wait until we got our bookshelf and now we just haven't gotten around to it yet. And the baby's room is still a mess, but that's all just stuff that needs to be put together or unpacked (clothes). Hopefully we'll get to it soon. There's only 11 weeks left and has already voiced his worry over having to come home and set everything up while I'm in the hospital. LOL Anyway... I'm definitely trying to relax some... Just the littlest bit of activity has a way of exhausting me. Trust me, I won't overdo!! ) Amy 29w 1d Re: Oh My!!! Amy,Thanks so much!!! I guess there are pros and cons to delivering both ways. And, you're probably right that we prepare ourselves for the worst. I'm not giving up hope for a vaginal delivery though.How is all of the unpacking coming along??? I know when we moved here it seems like it took forever! Please don't overdo!!! I'm so sorry to hear about your rings! That stinks! Take care and keep us posted!elle> > Hi Ladies!> > We went to what we thought was our last u/s yesterday. Everything > > went well and looks great, but it won't be our last u/s.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2001 Report Share Posted August 27, 2001 Elle, I'm glad I can make you laugh! I just love epidurals! I never hesitated to ask for them as soon as they'd give it to me! Then I'd just sit back and relax and wait for them to say, ok, you are ready to push now, I'd be like, already??? I think in retrospect, actually having the babies is a little scary, but you know, I'd do it again! Goes to show you that you do heal, and you do forget the pain (rather quickly I think!, see it's only been 4 months and I'd do it again!)
