Pregnant & Due ______?

[DragonMistress]

I’m going to throw my 2 cents in here… Personally, I feel that whatever makes you feel the most comfortable and safest is what you should do, it is after all your expeiriance. That pertains to how you choose to birth, feed, diaper, and raise your child. My personal labor plan is to go as naturally as possible, that for me means that I will wait for him to decide when he wants to come out, I am also going to try waterbirthing, or at least laboring in the birth tub. I don’t want an epidural, I would prefer to stay away from pitocin also. That being said…If my baby is in danger, would I say no to a c-section? absolutly not. whatever gets him here safest for the both of us is what I will do, it’s just my personal last resort. Would I feel like I failed if I needed pain control? no, but I want to try and do it the way that feels most comfortable to me. Is my plan the best? or the only option? no. My best friend has 2 boys, she induced with both, had epidurals and episiotomys, and will likley do exactly the same with her third, due any day now. I have a friend who is exceptionally small framed, and is a scheduled section, to eliminate much of the risk of delivering her very large baby. I am going to try to breastfeed, but surgery might make it impossible, and then I will formula feed. I would miss the bonding that I could share if I were able to breastfeed, but it wouldn’t make me any less of a loving mother. So basically I wanted to wish all of the expectant Mammas a safe, healthy and happy birth, and a heartfelt Blessed Be to your children!

Wait…how does 666=9? I have to ask. 🙂

Numerology~ 6+6=12+6=18
1+8=9
Numerology breaks things down to the smallest number, just to briefly touch on it….there’s reasons it’s done and without starting a religios debate, that’s the quickedt explanation 😀
Yep. I study Numerology and Astrology.
9 is my favorite number, with 6 in 2nd place. 🙂

Thank you, and exactly. 🙂

(Although surgery doesn’t make breastfeeding impossible. 🙂 But sometimes you have to get creative with the pillows. ;))

Waterbirthing — I’d so wanted to do that with my first. Oh well, maybe I’ll get to live vicariously through my daughters if/when FAAAAR into the future they have my grandchildren. 😉 LOL!

I be bottle feeding. I am personally not confertable with the idea of breast feeding. Never have been and from my understanding, if you are not confertable with it, its a waste of time since you probabaly won’t make much milk anyways. BUT I am not going to see if that is true or not. 😛

I hear you!

I hadn’t thought about it while I was expecting. Then one day, in the store, I saw a milk extractor. Well… my grandfather use to have cows. When I saw that milk pump, it brought me right back to when the cows were getting milked. Slight psychological blockage. So… yeah… She got formula.

Lol, my husband’s father is a dairy farmer…my dear Zack has refered to me more than once as being milked, lol, he didn’t even think I would get offended, lol good thing I love him so much!!

Oh, and my surgery was a breast reduction, almost 10 years ago before they thought about preserving the ducts, so that’s why I’m not sure, but I am hoping!!

Oh, a breast reduction. 🙂 I hope to have that done at some point, and hopefully sooner rather than later. As soon as I can convince my insurance company that it would be “constructive” surgery over “cosmetic”, and as soon as I can hook up with Dr. Rey 90210 for a consult. 😉 (He does good work, from what I’ve seen.)

It is disconcerting to be breastfeeding a baby whose head is smaller than your boob.

Lol, it did take some convinv=cing for my insurance company, but at 18 years old, with horrivble scoliosis and standing only 5 feet tall and weighing about 100 pounds, my mammoth boobs were definatly a problem!! lol 😀 😆

Oh boy! As always I’m late to the party. ;P

A few points in case:

1. It’s okay to be excited about the baby, of course, but let’s keep the “TMI” (too much information) off of our boards, okay? Let’s save the nitty-gritty for private talks between you, friends, family, and doctors. 😉

2. Debates and varying opinions are okay, but the moment it turns nasty and we get finger-pointing and such– well, let’s just not go there, yeah?
