Guest guest Posted May 31, 1999 Report Share Posted May 31, 1999 Yeah! My mother and I have started " seriously " talking about options for the delivery...I want her and my father in there and my grandmother....My mother will help keep me breathing Dad will probably be freaking out LoL he doesn't likes blood but desperatly wante to see His first grand baby come into the world...My grandmother will be the one writing everything that happens down for his or her baby book. These weeks are really draining on me! This mourning I felt horrible and I woke up with a Charlie Horse I even started screaming for my mom it hurt so much (she didn't even come to my rescue boohoo) << , That is so good to hear. It is very important to have an advocate there who can make sure it all goes as you want. Wendi >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 31, 1999 Report Share Posted May 31, 1999 , You might want to think about an extra calcium supplement. It took my leg cramps right away. Right down how you want your birth to go it helps to get things clear before you go in. I know how hard it can be in the end. I was late with both of my kids. I wanted so bad to deliver my son on Oct. 1 and he didn't come until the 22nd. I thought I was going to die. I didn't though and now he's almost 2 and I can't believe it. I won't even say to try to rest because I know I couldn't for weeks before either of mine were born. Just try to remember that no matter what your baby will come eventually.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 1999 Report Share Posted May 31, 1999 , Not to freak you out or anything but one night when my DH came home from work I was going through some maga pain and was in tears. As it turns out my Son, Brent was pushing on my rib cage. Man, was that the most uncomfortable thing in the world! Anyways, he did it only once thank god. Hope your birth of your baby is a good one. Brent was a great one. I'll have to tell you that birth story sometime. Re: birth assistant > From: Ababynjune@... > > Yeah!

Guest guest Posted May 31, 1999 Report Share Posted May 31, 1999 At 10:07 PM 5/31/99 , you wrote: >I woke up with a Charlie Horse , Muscular contractions like charlie horses are a result of low blood calcium. Chug a quick glass of milk (if you can stand it) when you get one... or drink 8 ounces before bed if they happen often. Try eating other foods, not just milk, that are high in calcium too, all throughout the week. The next charlie horse you get, start practicing your relaxation techniques. For me, even with my unmedicated delivery, none of my contractions were as awful as a charlie horse, mostly because they werent so sudden... but the relaxation techniques, focusing on that muscle will help you learn how to work WITH your body, and not against it... really helpful when you are in transition labor. If you have time and are interested, Natural Childbirth The Bradley Way has great info on relaxation, whether or not you go natural, and has drawings of positions for labor... plus my favorite were the emotional signposts of labor. They were right on for all three of my births! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
