MissSazra, the procedure does sound scary to me. I just have been trying to imagine myself agonizing over awful pain of contractions and labor and not caring what they do to knock it out lol. It might be different, who knows? My hospital also offers water births if we desire. I had thought about it, but, not many people around here opt for water births so I don't have many people to talk to about it (except you guys!) But it does make sense that it would be a natural pain reliever. I mean, we use water therapy for sprained ankles, and if your back aches or something else, a nice bath always seems to do the trick. What temperature is the water in the birthing tub?
As a first time mom, I'm probably just going through this experience scared to death, know what I mean? I know that once I go through it, when we have more kids I'll have a better understanding of what's going on and may opt for something more natural and less narcotic LOL.
Either way good luck with your referral. Please keep us posted.
rducky those Kia Soul's are sooo cute! I love those things. I know in America we have the Better Business Bureau; does Canada have anything like that? I'm one of those people who would take this to the top because this seems like a warranty issue. It's not like you're taking the car and driving it like you stole it (are you?
), so with you guys having this many tires fail and this often, it sounds like a manufacturing defect. Do you know what brand the tires are?
As for me, DH and I are struggling to find a leather sofa we both like. Sometimes we run across some he likes and I don't, or vice versa, but mostly it's that the selection around here sucks. Or we find one that we like and the warranty sucks, or it has a good warranty but they want an arm and a leg for it. Ugh.... we'll continue to look I suppose. Other than that, not much going on at the moment. Pregnancy is going easily and I'm growing like a weed.
Now I'm worried what they'll say to me! I'm (really really) overweight and was hoping for the option of a water birth (not decided on it, I want my options open, and if I feel like getting out then so be it!) so not sure if they'll get on me about my BMI.... though they haven't weighed me at all so I guess they can't really??? But yes, for sure don't let them force you into an inactive labour! You KNOW that laying on your back isn't good, so don't let them do it to you! Move around, walk, crouch, kneel; go with the flow and do what feels best.
