i was just wondering about you and your pregnancy the other day! good luck with everything, can't wait to see pictures!

i was wondering about you too. did you have your baby yet?

[xjennyboox]

yes! she was 3 weeks early bc i got pre-eclampsia really bad and they were worried i'd have a stroke, my blood pressure was up in the 200's! my induced labor was going really well, i opted against any drugs, but the pain was raising my blood pressure and i didn't have a choice anymore and ended up with a c-section. i was super scared, but i think if i'd known the c-section would be so easy i think i would've shown up asking for one instead of going through all that labor! i love my baby though, more than i'd imagined!

at least you're both okay I'm terrified of getting a C section I guess since I've never had one plus I've watched that "when anesthesia fails" show once and I'm never watching it again because of stuff like this it just makes me nervous but I'm hoping he'll come out ASAP we've only got 11 days until the due date! my epidural didn't work at all with Trent so I know what to expect pain wise which I'm not sure if that makes me more nervous or less lol. She's a beautiful baby by the way.

i was super terrified of a c-section too, that's why i went for a natural birth bc the drugs can slow down labor and i didn't want to stall out and have a c-section. my blood pressure was so high and they told me i had to have a c-section and i started crying and this stupid horrible nurse was like, "you have to calm down, you're a very sick girl, and you'll die if you don't calm down." that was the worst thing ever to say to someone if you want their blood pressure to go down! to make it worse while prepping me for the c-section they messed up my epidural so i know how that is too, but once they got it right i just passed out and when i woke up there was a baby! i don't think they do anesthesia anymore so you don't have to worry about that and the c-section was honestly so easy, the doctor said i was snoring through the whole thing haha and my scar is only 3 inches and way below where my pubic hair even starts.. i thought i was going to look like frankenstein, but it's great. good luck, though you seem to be great at having

I got lucky I was in labor for 23 hours though! but for some reason he moved his head and it was near my left hip bone and his feet were diaganol up near my ribs but our nurse was awesome she got me to get on my hands and knees rubbed my back during contractions and moved my stomach around and I went from 5 cm to 8 cm in like 20 minutes and he moved his head into the birth canal after that so thanks to her no c section.
