June Bundles of Joy - 2016

No seriously though, i would love just a controlled natural birth. I will talk to my midwife, i hope she listens xx
 
Aw boosted that sounds wonderful! My sil actually shared a picture with us with that same idea :) hopefully whoever is shooting is a good shot! Haha Are you having quite a few people there when you find out? We've done the same where we waited to find out with my close family and have done it in a fun way each time. It's simply the best!! Make sure someone gets pictures of your reactions! :) I can't wait to hear how it goes!!
 
It's amazing all the different births that people want/need etc

I Would rather stay home with no pain relief than go to the hospital just because i hate the place so much haha.

Hope you can sort something out though karli, as it's important that you don't/shouldn't have to stress about it.
 
We have about two feet of snow here.
Starlight and Mommyofone where on the east coast are you?
 
It's something I have considered before but after a good think about it I think the cons outweigh the pros. Theres still a good chance I will have a good, straightforward and positive birth experience so I'm still hopeful for that and don't want to sacrifice those good odds for a section which is major surgery and a lot of recovery. I can totally understand why some people do opt for this though and think it is the best choice for some people.

Karli could you not try to elect for a section? You can request one on mental health grounds and they have to consider you x
 
Anyone heard from boosted? Geralyn im in Pennsylvania ;) you're in NY right?
 
I want to know how boosteds reveal went!
I keep checking back

I did make a journal though.. I think the link in my siggy works, if anyone is interested. It's bare atm. Lets call it a work in progress eh haha.
 
Geralyn, I'm in Maryland. I'm a bit anxious about the weather. I hate snow.

I'm going to try to call tomorrow morning and move my appt for another day. Part of me doesn't even want to have this follow up scan to get the pictures they couldn't get because of the soreness from the scan two weeks ago, but I think it's a requirement from the ob. And of course I want to make sure baby's heart is OK in case action needs to be taken after delivery (I pray baby is all OK).
 
Also a scar which I hate! Another reason to steer clear of a section. Oh and the fact it significantly complicates any future pregnancies. Sigh. I was never against sections at all until I had two emergency ones and feel like it is definitely not a great option. Oh and also I feel like I failed because I didn't give birth naturally. But that's just in my mind I know it's not true :)
 
I had a pretty rough labour first time round and did some reading in preparation for my second and it was everything I wanted - minimal medical intervention, I didn't even have paracetamol and didn't feel like I needed it. It was all down to not being afraid and accepting that it's a natural process and hence not tensing up. I'll try and remember to find out what it was called tomorrow (I just got home from a 13 hour shift).

Our scan is tomorrow morning so I've been having lots of dreams about birth. I'm not really scared about it, more excited about the spontaneity of it and how it will go this time.

I know I sound like a broken record but my pelvis aches so much, like tooth ache. I have to tell you all because I hate to whinge about it at work lol!
 
Moan away Dory! That's what we're here for :) I find that in real life, especially because it's not my first pregnancy, when people ask how I'm feeling or how the pregnancy is going they actually just expect a quick "everything is good thanks for asking". If I start talking about how I'm really feeling their eyes glaze over or they look like they want to change the subject quickly haha! Xx
 
Morning ladies

How are we all? Not much to report here except i too am now suffering with sore hips! Its so hard to get comfy and i know its still early but i dont remember my in previous pregnancy the baby being so low that it hurts to sit haha
 
Where are the next lot of gender reveals ?!?! Haha
My next scan is Feb 10th and I'm hoping for boy confirmation so I can shop. She was sure last time but I'm nervous to buy anything!
