well had my 1st obstetrician appointment today, all my test results came back normal (bloods, gestational diabetes, ultrasound)

the woman checked the heartbeat which is 145bpm.

was asked if i want the epidural, i said yes lol, so have to see the anestetic(sp) doctor in a month i think

oooooooh my fundal height (i think that's the uterus measurements) is 24cm so just above my belly button hehe

Dont get an epidural all my girlfriends did and they all ripped or had to be cut and the labour was twice as long also one of my friends is a bigger girl size 18 and she has back pain quite often now

I didnt have any drugs, trust me you will be fine without it hun

When it was all over i got out of bed had a shower while they cleaned the room, changed the sheets

I didnt rip or need cutting because i could feel everything that was going on, so when the midwife said do little pushes or hold it, i was able to cause i could feel unlike with epidural your numb from the waist down so you cant feel the pushes and your body does it to fast.

Sounds like the discussions i've been having wife my wife about epidurals....It depends on who you talk with and what their pain threshold is like on weather they had one or not, wifes biggest fear is not having one, finding out she needs a c section and then being put under a general anesthetic and not seein the baby till she wakes up! Decisions decisions!!!

don't they do like partial epidurals? coz i don't wanna be completely numb.

part of the reason i thought it would be an idea to have it is coz i have mild scoliosis so i have no idea how i'm gonna

go with the pain or anything.

well 1 thing i dont want is to tear or be cut, that's my worst fear right now lol.

[DIOR 33]

to not tear or be cut you need to feel whats going on down there but you need to discuss with your dr on your pain problems

[pokie]
