Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

I doubt they will do general for your C-section. There are a lot more risks with general, so I am sure they will want not want to use it if they don't have to. Unless is it is necessary I doubt they will use general for the other surgery. I don't remember the name of the anestesia I had with my D&C, but I would think they would use something like it. Apparently you are semi conscious, but you don't remember anything. I do not remember anything from the D&C, but I didn't need a ventilator like I would have with General Anestesia.

Thanks guys. Starting to get excited. Now my only worry is weather or not I will be up for the birth. Hoping they do the general anesthesia after he is born so I can see him. My sil thinks the will just do both with the saddle block but I ope not. Csection is one thing I don't want any notion of the other. Hubby is not good with Facebook so hopefully some family will post and tag me. Otherwise it may be Saturday before I get anything up.

For a hemorrhoidectomy they'd probably be able to just be able to do it with the spinal you should get for the C-Section and they could probably just give you some meds to mainly just get you comfy... (an IV martini or two) lol
I dunno if I'd be too keen on getting general anesthesia or anything though since it may make everything sort of fuzzy, and it'd stink to not remember seeing Finn for the first time! It's hard to really select what you'd remember and what you wouldn't Plus on top of everything, I'd avoid any type of breathing tube, especially since you get to avoid one with the section...last thing you'd need would be a sore throat on top of everything!

The surgeon had said general but since the surgeries are being combined maybe not. That being said for the hemorrhoid surgery I would at least like twilight. Lol so embarrassing lol

 

[moter98]

maybe they could give you a general until after baby is out and you have seen him, then knock you out? you could pretend you are panicking and they will automatically put you under.

 

[mailcmm]

I find out tomorrow how it will go down. Starting to get a bit scared now. Know everything will turn out all right in the end but I am nervous. Oh well in for a penny... Lol

 

[moter98]

I don't blame you, I would be nervous too. But in less than 2 days baby Finn is gonna be here! So excited for you.

 

[mailcmm]

I know. Conflicting emotions have me nauseous. Lol got everything packed... I think. Lol nursery is done. Hubby cleaned the house and washed the floors. I can't wait to see what color hair Finn has. And how big he actually is. Probably only 7.5 lbs lol

 

[moter98]

Remember the hair he's born with will probably fall out. Ds was born with a head full of dark hair and it all eventually "shed" and blonde hair grew in its place!
Eek! Can't believe you are nearly there

 

[mailcmm]

Didn't know that Moter. My kids kept theirs. My sons got lighter by the time he was 2 but he will go dark again when he's older. But he had a full head of hair. Got his first haircut at 2 weeks old. Lol hoping Finn has hair like that. I know I can't believe I am here. So ready to see my boy. It still hasn't sunk in. Just want to scream. Lol

 

[Twinkie210]

My first had a ton of dark hair with blonde highlights (it was so pretty!). He never lost it all, but it gradually grew back in a medium brown color. Little guy had some hair and has nearly lost it all (although it is growing back slowly). His was dark when he was born and I think it is going to stay that way because he has really dark eye brows! My oldest has blue/grayish eyes and Liam's eyes are already turning dark! They favor each other so much, yet have some completely different features

 

[mailcmm]

I am very dark and must have strong genes. Am hoping Finn has light eyes and red hair like his daddy or dark hair like me, but my eyes are black. You need a flash light to see my pupils and apparently it's a very dominant trait. Both my kids were born with brown eyes so knew right away what color they would be. The eyebrows are your clue. My son still has dark eyebrows whereas my daughter has blond eyebrows. I am sure her hair will remain the color it is, and has been since birth, and my son will go darker when he's older. Ayden is just like me born with black hair that went mousy brown. Mine went black in college. I dye it lighter cause the black is shocking black.

that must be fun seeing the differences in your boys....can't wait for that

 

[Twinkie210]

You don't have that much longer either! So many new boys!

 

[baby_bray]

I am so completely giddy for you Mail! I can't belive he'll be here tomorrow!!!
My whole family is very curious as to what color eyes Abigail will have. DH and his whole family are all blue. His are more grey blue but most of his family have the gorgeous sky blue eyes.
My family is half DARK brown and half hazel. Mine sound alot like yours Mail, almost black, hard to tell unless light is shining directly on them where my iris stops and my pupil begins.
I know she's much more likely to have brown. I may only have brown genes to give and they're dominant, but I could carry the hazel/green or something, who knows! It's part of the fun!
Both DH and I had a nice lil bit of hair, both dark. My mom said none of us 4 girls lost any of our hair, but ours all lightened to a mousey light brown. With all the heartburn I've had I'm hoping for at least enough to sort of play with!

Olivia lost all of her hair after she was born, and so did my son. My eyes are blue, and my husbands are very dark brown. I am think Olivia's eyes will turn brown eventually because they have a hazel ring around the outside of her blue. Now that she is getting hair back in I think it will be brrown also as Dh and I both have dark hair.

BTW, I need some prayers. I should be on cycle day 3 but the witch has never shown yet. I have tested and both were negative. I cant not afford to have another right now since I just lost my job and health insurance.

 

[moter98]

berdc - you may be irregular for awhile due to hormones yet. have you thought about going on birth control? you can get on a low dose orthotrycyclen, that's what my dr put me on after i had #1 - we weren't ready for another at that time either. also, you should be able to get it for free now

 

[BERDC99]

Not sure where I could go to get it free. My husband has a very good income and it screws up out of getting any help. It just worries me cause the last three months I have be pretty regular every 25 days. It may be from stress also.

 

[moter98]

oh i thought it was free for all women now due to the obamacare law they passed for free birth control for all? did i understand it wrong?

 

[moter98]

also, target offers $4 generic birth control. trisprintec 28 day tablet is $4. this is what i used before ttc. we have to pay 100% of prescriptions till our enormously high deductible is met every year so that was very affordable for us.
