[ - ] I find myself ticked at my MIL because she is coming down to visit us in June, and we are getting ready to move in July. I know it is horrible but we are really very busy and she is very high maintenance when she comes to town. She may refuse to stay in a hotel and want to stay here. 2 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

I think she will be here a total of 4 days and 5 nights. No, she will not help pack or watch our DDs, so I can pack up. [ Reply | More

[ - ] i feel like so many of the women hear are very pro-epidurals. please don't flame, but i am just wondering if the people that took the drugs considered a natural birth? or if your mind was made up from the very beginning. again, i am not judging your choice, i am more curious about this decision since i work w many expectant moms. tia! 14 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Of course it's not a natural birth. Natural means unadorned and in its natural state. No one said you had to go that route and yes, we're arguing semantics, but be accurate. You delivered a db vaginally, with interventions (pain killers). Stand up and own it. [ Reply | More

i had epi 2x. never considered natural birth. if it matters, i am not a big drinker or drug taker. i just saw no need for the pain if the dr. says i don't have to. to each their own. i have great respect for those who go natural. i never could. [ Reply | More

my mind was made up from the beginning to use the epidural. I wanted a peaceful birth, and that's what I got, x 2. I don't care what other people do. [ Reply | More

ITA. I had one child without meds and one with. the epidural was a much calmer and less stressful experience for me. I really hate that birthing has become a competitive sport. [ Reply | More

I had an epidural but my ob shut the drip off when I was in labor so it would progress quickly. I still had the residual effects of pain med but my labors were both speedy quick so I feel like I was a little natural/ a little medicated [ Reply | More

i always planned on an epi but with DC1, they couldn't get the epi in and i had the baby naturally and it wasn't too bad. but then, with DC2, i was able to get the epi and it was HORRIBLE -- i was itching all over and it gave me the shakes -- i didn't even think i'd be able to push. if i had to do it again, i would do it without the epi - and that's from someone who loves alcohol and pain pills!

I think you should go with the flow and not put pressure on yourself one way or the other. Every pregnancy is different. Everyone has a different level for pain tolerance, and those that have a better tolerance and easier deliveries are in no way better than those that don't [ Reply | More

I was 38 and had already had a miscarriage, then tried Clomid, inseminations, etc. My tubes seemed fine, DH's sperm seemed fine. Had also had fibroid issues and a myomectomy to remove them. All in all, I was running out of time and had tried everything else. [ Reply | More

sorry for delay...so weird you ask this bc I have been thinking about it alot. Not sure why adoption has been so hard for me. We have a great life and I almost feel like the window of opportunity for having kids has passed by. But then I am terrified that I will regret this decision. I have wanted children since I was about 4 years old, so it blows my mind to think I may never experience being a mother. Sometimes seems the more we talk, read, think about it, the more complicated it gets... [ Reply | More
