I get this magazine, but didn’t discover it until AFTER I’d had Wynnie. I have the “Pregnancy” issue from a few months ago I’ll send you if you want me to.

They are VERY informative about natural childbirth and have so, so many alternatives to cutting, forceps, vacuuming, etc.

In Colorado the c-section rate is said to be one in 4 births, but among my friends, 3 out of 4 have had c-sections.

If you decide you want certain things, make a list, discuss it with your midwife and review it several times.

If something goes wrong during delivery, that could’ve been prevented with monitoring or a med, BAM!! lawsuit. I’ve seen it happen more than once. This is why the number of OB’s is declining.

My water broke, but I wasn’t having any contractions, so I was hooked up to pitocin, or as I like to call it the “Devil’s juice.” I had to have an internal monitor placed because I was having back labor and they couldn’t monitor anything with the regular hook ups. Internal monitors hurts like heck to be inserted. I had an epidural. I loved my epidural. I just sucked on ice chips, but I hear that also having sour candy on hand is nice. I wasn’t free to move around because of all the wires I had. Plus when you have an epidural you can’t walk. I also had an episiotomy, but was asked first. They were ready to use the vacuum on my son, but in one final push he came out without needing it. That’s all I can remember right now……

Man, I am really not excited about all the meds and monitoring hospitals subject laboring women to… I have read the pitocin often makes the labor pain worse and that the doctors are administering it left and right.

But I don’t really understand that because I was doing fine on my own. The contractions where coming on strong and regular. The gave me like 2 or 3 bags of pitocin after Riley was born too because my blood pressure was so high they wanted to make sure i was getting dehydrated. I was so swollen everywhere when I came home and like a month afterward. Maybe that’s why they gave me the pitcocin in the first place, to keep me hydrated.
I don’t think the epidural affected my pushing at all. I just had a hard time pushing both kids out. The nurse was telling me to hold my breath until the count of 10 and I couldn’t. That’s when they gave me the oxygen mask to make sure I was breathing ok.
Everything is such a whirlwind that happens during labor. There’s so much going on and so many emotions going through you. You have some much pain, but when you look at your baby for the first time, you forget about it all. It’s worth all the pain in the world 🙂 Do you want a boy or girl? What about N ?
