Thanks! I am planning on going au natural (no drugs at all) so I am sure to need it! Sq-Earl is proud that I am willing to try and is (perhaps) more confident than I am!
Just remember the human brain can't remember pain, so when it is all said and done it won't seem that bad. During is a different story.

That's what I am banking on! Plus, it'll make my 1st 24 hour solo race this summer seem like a piece of cake (or atleast that's what Sq-Earl keeps telling me :think: )

Hopefully labor will be more like a sprint race.

My neighbor tried that with #2.......her husband says all he remembers is an uninterrupted yell/scream for 30+ minutes that the entire hospital heard.....

with Both my Kids my wife had no drugs. then again , labor for her was less than 2 hours with both of them.

Good Luck Treesaw
yes, good luck indeed. I'm convinced that an easier labor is 80% state of mind ( calm and accepting of natural process vs. fear and stress) . I went drug free/Bradley with both of mine. The second one came so fast he was almost born at Costco!

You tried the "4 on the floor" method of inducing labor yet?

;)
now Rob, that's no way to speak to a new mother....

And the floor?? what were you thinking? Her back probably hurts as it is!





Alright, Treesaw, you've got 2 hours. Go grab Earl and report back! That water better be breaking!:p

Supposedly 4 on the floor is the most comfy for a preggo chick.

Good luck you two. Just don't poke the baby in the head!

LOL! I rode the trainer last night, went up and down the stairs in my house at least a hundred times and still no baby! I do, however, have a bit of a tummy ache today so maybe that's a good sign. AND, I was WIDE awake at 5am!

Do you have the urge to clean everything in the house spotless?

Well, I have already done that TWICE since the start of 2006 and still no baby!!! No need to worry...I either clean or cook when I am bored. Now I am on to cooking!

Baby update: 1/25/06 Dr. apt. -- dilated 2-3cm. -- having semi-regular contractions -- no hospital trip yet and still planning on riding the stationary bike today (1/26)!

:eek: You are nuts. :)
Nah, I just have WAY too much energy. I did 3 loads of laundry, cleaned the entire kitchen, went grocery shopping, baked some chocolate chip cookies and rode the bike for a little bit (about 20 minutes so far). :D All is well!!!

Tell me about it!!! Still no baby :( She's really going to wait until her due date I guess :think:
lol, I didn't realize you weren't even at your due date yet... just wait until you are 10 days over due! First babies are almost always late.

:eek: Actually, my Dr. said he will induce me if she isn't out by 2/4/06. He is confident that I won't go late though.

I actually did stop at the liquor store on Tuesday afternoon and bought the big bottle of Jack. The old man didn't even blink an eye at me. :think: I was a little disappointed. ;)
