so tracey, basically your saying that because you have 6 kids, you know everything, right? every situation is different, just because your labor went fine and dandy, that doesnt mean that all the same rules apply for hannahs mommy, who i am assuming has a terrible labor..!

Yea I don't think that is fair for anyone to try and compare what they went through, to what anyone else went through. (Im not talking about any imparticular), Hell I can relate! A lady at work, my human resources person tried to tell me that I shouldnt miss work just because of morning sickness and syncope, that she was sick through her whole pregnancy and only missed like 5 days of work. But the thing that is diff is, she got to sit at a desk all day! I am running around and on my feet for 8-9 hours a day! Its kind of irritating! But, no matter (in my op) what you go through during labor, the most important thing is that little baby! Sad

Which I am just longing for..I am growing very impatient!

Try not to be too impatient! you've still got a way to go yet...I didn't have Hannah untill I was 42 weeks!

Yea I had very bad morning sickness, I had to quit my job, and be put on medication for it, so... Rolling Eyes

yea they had asked me several times if I wanted leave from work and to be put on bed rest, but I said no cause I at least wanted to try! I know I had really bad days, and really good days too! They kinda evened out. But the thing that sucked was, if I would have taken leave then, I wouldn't have all the maternity leave I have now (12 weeks), and I think I am going to look for another job when that is up! Cause I know they won't work with me, for anything, because they don't care anymore! Sad

Why do they have to make it so hard on people these days? Its depressing!

[quote="sarasmile07"]I have heard alot of "good' things about epidurals, but I am just deathly terrified of needles, so I would rather take the pain of crowing and whatnot, and leave the needles out of it! Confused

Oh sweetie, trust me. . .you'll happily take a sledge hammer to the head to avoid the pain of childbirth Laughing

I though the same as you BEFORE I was in labor, then when the pain really comes, the needle is NOTHING! Very Happy
