Re: pre-baby news-epidural question

[Guest guest]

Marla,

I had an epidural with my second child, and everything was fine

UNTIL they began to stitch up the peritoneum, and I felt every

stitch! They tried to give me extra stuff through the IV and even

through a mask, but it didn't help. I asked about it afterwards,

and they said I had a " midline defect " , which they told me was a

bubble of air where the anesthetic didn't take. I didn't know I had

EDS at that time, but MY feeling is that it was related to the EDS

and locals not working well with us.

Hope this helps! Good luck, Sweetie, I'll be thinking of you and

praying for you and the babe!

Love Lana

Yes, I remember you. Didn't I look big enough to be due??? At

least I feel like I did! Thanks for the well wishes. And good luck with

getting into the study! It would be nice to get into it, but for me,

that's too far for me to go with a new baby.

*smile* I lose track of time quickly. For a while I thought you

already had the baby, then I thought you must have another couple of

months before you were due... Sometimes I can barely keep track of

the day of the week! So, now you've got less than a week to go,

right? I bet this heat is just unberable for you!

I haven't heard anything about the study, but I know they are swamped

with emails plus it is the weekend. I'll be sure to let everyone

know whenever I hear anything. I can't imagine why you think it is

too far to go with a new baby! I mean, it's only like a 6 hour

flight (if you go direct), and it isn't like germs fly all over

planes, and you won't be too tired as a new mom or anything like

that... Ha!
