bassa that’s so exciting!!! I am scared of not getting an epidural this time bc it was really quick last time (I did get one) and they told me to be ready for a quick labor this time. I am not ready at all for an epi-free delivery lol I am on this bench. My hospital requires you to get one bag of fluid in before you get an epidural. Given how DD2's birth went, that is... not happening. I also am refusing to think about it 😂

All this talk of birthing sans-epi is terrifying me. Granted, the epi barely worked by the time I was pushing DD out. She was 9.5lb and I felt ev.er.y.thing. I’m sure I had SOME sort of relief, despite how much it hurt like a bitch. But the thought of doing it all completely med free is absolutely terrifying 😱

I was able to get the newborn and 0-3 month clothes washed today which felt good. Now I just need to find my moby.
I want to go med free if possible and I’m afraid that this baby whose actually measuring average will be harder to deliver then DS who was 9 10.

Totally aprilz81 I definitely think that GD is a whole different situation than just a big baby. If my post read that way I didn't mean that Yes, agreed. GD is a medical reason.

AHHH THIS IS SO EXCITING!!! Thinking of you dragonflyinn!! He is SO SO adorable hiimjamie!! Can't wait for a picture bassa, CONGRATULATIONS!! I do med-free so I'm hoping all this super quick labor juju rubs off on me as that sounds perfect lol. I've recently had 2 good friends who didn't have time for an epi (one actually was supposed to have a repeat c-section and ended up with an unmedicated, unplanned VBAC) on their 2nd births.

Got my epi about 20 min ago!! Praise God haha. I was at 4cm with DD when I got it so not used to these ridiculous contractions of 6-7cm haha. Feeling better now! Doctor said once it’s all kicked in they will break my water & baby should be right out! He is so low & i was totally effaced when we got here so should be quick.

Wow! Good luck dragonflyinn!! Thinking of you! I'm also hoping this quick labor stuff rubs off on me. I would like to go med free but my pain tolerance is pretty low so we will see.

So as mentioned in the motn im up after peeing. Little lady is awake in my belly having a grand old time.
I have so much I want to do and I'm so so so unmotivated. My accounting class starts tomorrow and I really should get caught up on it before baby gets here . I also need to find all the infant supports for the car seats. :/
