bring on baby!! Welcome!!!

[bexxc]

wow...i'm sorry. i hope you're not coming down with something.

 

[annie00]

Me too ..
Did u miss my post about askin my dr about pre admitting?

 

[Jumik]

Bexx DH is very squeamish. They might end up having to rush him to emergency if he goes in to watch me deliver...lol. Oh and here in my country the public hospitals don't give epidurals unless absolutely necessary (only in private hospitals) so that makes it worse for him.

 

[bexxc]

i did miss that post, but i went back and saw it. i'd probably go back to (or call) l and d at your hospital and explain your situation. they may ask for a doctor's referral, but i'd definitely get that handled. you might really be wanting that epidural at some point.

jumik- i'm just so surprised he would miss the birth of his baby. my dh had better be able to handle it...he's a nurse!

 

[Jumik]

Yeah. Typically the hospitals don't even allow anyone in during delivery but now that they have lamarse classes they might allow just the one person who attended classes with you in the room. They must attend 7 or more classes and still it's up to the nurses and doctors discretion to allow them in delivery. So I could still end up delivering completely alone. It sucks really bad but it's the system we have here in public health.

Wow junmik I couldn't imiagne delivering without dh r mom are a epdi !!! Wow ur a strong women!!! Where u from may I ask?

Bex I'm gonna ask Monday and tell her that I pre registered and they didn't do X-rays r anything with my back.. It didn't even come up...

 

[bexxc]

it's funny how things differ from place to place. i think most husbands here would be in serious trouble for not attending the delivery it used to be that same way here with lamaze classes-- only people who attended the classes were allowed in the delivery room, but that hasn't been the case since sometime in the 80s.

Annie I'm from Trinidad and Tobago which is in the Caribbean.

 

[bexxc]

annie- that sounds like a good plan.

i hope i can deliver without an epidural...but i'm not so sure

 

[annie00]

Omg!!!! Bex r u crazy!!!!!
Over here once ur water breaks u have a option to get epdi then r later n I'm doing it as soon as I can!!!!
Ur a brave women I'm not doing shit natural!!!!!!!

Jumik oh okay..

I didn't do any classes at all..'

 

[bexxc]

i've had a couple of friends who have had to have c-sections because they had an epidural and couldn't feel to push hard enough to get the baby out. i'm more terrified of having a c section than i am of the pain of labor! but then it's probably going to hurt so badly that i'll beg for it. we'll just see how it goes.

 

[annie00]

Well if u end up waiting to long then they can't get u one.. Lets hope u don't wait that long if u do decide to get one!!!

Have u heard from hope?

 

[bexxc]

as long as you request it before you hit transition they'll give it to you. i'm pretty sure i'll know by then if i need it or not.

i haven't heard from her. i'm sure she'll check in soon.
