I'm Liz. I'm due with baby no. 2 in November.
My first pregnancy was uneventful and healthy. I was induced, post dates, by my doctor who was going on vacation. I wanted a natural birth, but didn't prepare very well. I ended up with an epidural, after not being able to handle the pitocin. I lasted 7 hours. I delivered 5 hours later. I pushed for 45 minutes, and DD was sunny side up.
I'm older and wiser this time, and have been preparing for birth. I will not be induced this time (unless absolutely necessary) as I think this is where I went wrong last time.
I found out yesterday that I have blood disorder that will not allow me to have an epidural this time (Gestational Thrombocytopenia). It makes me a little nervous to know that I now don't have a choice, but I'm trying to make it empower me.
I look forward to getting to know you all!
