Aw Joy, I'll be praying for you!
 
I went to see the nurse yesterday and got some blood-work done. She told me I couldn't dye my hair. I have natural hair, but do a purplish streak behind each of my ears. I thought that it would have been okay, since my stylist did her hair during her pregnancy. I think every practice has their own view on it. I got the call this morning that beta levels were 11,166. It doesn't matter much of how high they are, but rather how much they rise between days... so Joy I'm still pulling for you that it will all be okay. ANd my due-date has changed from July 1 to the 2nd. Which is just odd, because she used the same numbers as I did, and every online checker I used said the 1st, so I don't know how she got the 2nd.

I watched "The Business of Being Born" documentary last night. It was free on my Netflix. Ricki Lake produced it and it was very eye opening for me. I really suggest that each one of you watch it, no matter if this is your first, of 5th child. It's all about how in America here, hospitals push for quick deliveries, even if that means pitocen to speed things up, or c-section to just be done with it. About 80% of births in Japan and Europe are handled by midwives. In the US that number is only 1%. The film really made me rethink my openness to epidural this second time around. My first I wanted natural, but I ended up with an epi at 7 cm. Our bodies were made to deliver naturally. It's going to hurt, but it's worth it. Now, I have the same plan to deliver natural, but if I absolutely want the epi, I'll get it again. I just want to feel my body doing it's job again. It also talks about the history of birth... very interesting.

Has anyone else thought about natural birth?

I would half agree on the comment about the business of being born......being a nurse and working in labor and delivery there is more to the story......alot of women get tired of being pregnant and decide when they want their baby to come so they schedule inductions up to a week before due date.....pitocin is the synthetic form telling your body to get baby to come out and sometimes your body just flat out says no! So for the safety of mamma and baby c-section is the only option to take in some circumstances. I did my preceptorship in a hosptial that delivers about 500 babies a month and have seen this exact thing happen at least once a shift so that def skews the calculated info.....

However, I am going all natural this time! Husband thinks Im cukoo but its my choice, he can be there or not........

p.s. I just got accepted back to school......moving on to my msn in nursing and then off to midwivery school! SOOOO EXCITED!:happydance: I start in the spring!
 
Thank you all for your kind words and support...No cramping or sign of m/c, but I just have this instinct that things aren't gonna work out for me...its just my luck. I wish all the best for each and everyone of you. I truly mean that. This may be my last post, but I will be lurking...I have lost hope, I am sad to say!! GL to you all...H&H 9 months..BYE!!!:hugs:
 
Hey Ladies

Good for you for going natural... not for me, i'll be a planned c-section this time. i laboured naturally last time, made it to 6 cms, had an epi at 5 cms... but then the baby kept crashing, so emergency section it was. i had laboured for about 14 hrs by this point. No women in my immediate family have delivered naturally.

Joy i'm still holding on hope for you, i think we all will, that's what support is!

Laura, i too was told not to colour my hair until the 2nd trimester. i am over half white and normally colour my hair every 4 -6 weeks.. so it's killing me!!!

Kim
 
my hair needs to get dyed realy bad, my roots look liek a racing stripe ugh, i cant wait tht long.
joy, let us know, all the support in the world...
 
Kate

My doc said i could streak the hair as long as it wasn't on my scalp.... i guess chemicals get into your blood stream with a full colour...

i hear ya my sides are totally white right now.. it sucks!!! LOL

Kim
 
Joy,Im so sorry about how your feeling. I still hope for you that you got a scan a little on the early side.:hugs:
 
Took them a while to find it,but here it is! Due date changed to June 30, but Im still sure i will have it in July since both of my sons were overdue.

Just last night the ms hit me, and it is like a ton of freaking bricks! Anyone else? I sit i feel better, i get hungry, i try to eat and BAM going to puke again! I want to sleep, but then i get hott! *i live in Minnesota and its winter, i should not be getting hott*

my hormones are going wicked nuts, doc has me on zofran for nausea I am such high risk that he doesnt want even the slightest thing making me dehydrated, why am i still pukin if i am on zofran!!!
 
Hey Raisingminime

Sorry to hear that you're sick. i am sick all day too.. luckily i'm not vomiting. My only advice is to eat whatever will stay down. For me carbs seem to work best. Maybe some ice chips to keep you hydrated?

Good luck.

Kim
 
It is possible to build up a tolerance to Zofran if you take it a lot. Eat whatever you crave because your body will usually let you eat whatever it is without vomiting afterward. Make sure not to eat as much as you normally do in one sitting,even if you are super hungry.Eat small amounts. Never let your tummy get empty or full.Also, dont drink anything with your meals. Eating and drinking at the same time can make you feel full,making you miserable. Sip your drinks over time,dont ever chug them quickly. MS is such an awful feeling and there isnt really any medication to take it away completely,they just take the edge off and you will probably have better and worse days. Im so sorry you are sick. Take comfort in knowing that you are not alone.There are an unlucky few that have it severely.I am one of them!:hugs:
 
thanks kim, i will wait until after i see my doc, then i need to do someting with my hair, i really need my full roots done, so that will be on my scalp, ugh, ill see what my options are i guess. im not vomitting either, but i dont feel great , i get the hot and cold too
 
Hey Ladies

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was good... very busy... my MS is getting worse... i really should start the meds... my stomach will feel great and then as soon as i put food in it... ahhh it's spinning.

Anyways have a great day everyone.

Kim
 
Morning Ladies.

UUrrrrggggghhhh!! Is how i feel today. I woke up in the middle of the night last night thinking i was going to be sick. But I managed to drop off again. Today I just feel so tired and I am trying to work but its so hard!!

I am planning on going to the gym later so maybe that will make me feel better. But all I want to do at the moment is sleep!

MS.....hmmmmm......sort of on and off. I think I am delebretly making myself feel worse by thinking about it, sounds really strange I know. But if I am busy and not thinking about it I feel ok.

Hope you ladies have had a good weekend.

Nic xx
