My plan and only plan is to deliver a healthy baby, whatever way that may be. But my hope is for a vaginal delivery like with DD and I will probably also be getting an epidural this time around as well. AND I still consider that a natural birth.
April 22. Planning a natural -- med-free with a few interventions as possible -- hospital birth for our little girl.
With my son they eventually talked me into/forced me into "a little something to take the edge off" when he was in transition. My HR and BP were going up and they were afraid that if I was in too much distress then the baby would be too (I think his HR was going up a little but don't recall). I was completely snowed by the "little something" and was passing out between contractions ... it was the most horrible experience of my life, actually. I will avoid all meds unless medically necessary. He was born at 10 lbs, 8 oz, so it's no wonder there was a lot of distress in transition but I'd rather not be snowed this time.
Due April 14th, but due to preexisting health issues, I will either be induced or scheduled for a csection at 3839 weeks. I would love to deliver vaginally, but I'm going in with zero expectations due to my health. What's most important is getting this girl out safely!
BFP #1: 5/10/12; 5/22/12: pregnancy deemed not viable (probably CP)
BFP #2: 8/2/12; Due date: 4/14/13, DD born 4/5/2013
BFP #3: 11/2/14, Due date: 7/7/15
I'm due April 4 with my first baby (a girl!). I'm hoping for a natural, vaginal birth. I'm not against pain medicine, but I have a phobia about needles/being hooked up to machines, and not being able to move freely with an epidural. Of course, if the pain is too great, I'll probably throw all that aside and beg for the epidural

Who knows? I am technically due May 4, but I've been told in no uncertain terms that I will deliver well before that (high risk twin pregnancy). So I am hoping to deliver between April 6 and 20th (36-38 weeks), but could be as early as March 16th based on the stats my surgeon gave of people who undergo the type of fetal surgery I had and their average delivery date (33 wks). I just want to get to April. It's coming for me so fast and I have so much to do yet! Oh, and I will likely have a c-section.
TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!
Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!
EDD is April 18th. I'm hoping for a vaginal birth at my local hospital. Baby is currently head-down, and fingers are crossed that she stays that way. I'd like to try to go med-free, but I'm not opposed to the idea of an epidural if I need it.
BFP 08/11/2012, DD#1 born 04/18/2013 BFP 01/01/2015, EDD 09/07/2015, CP BFP 10/09/2015, EDD 06/01/2016, MC @ 7 weeks BFP 03/12/2016, DD#2 born 11/15/2016 BFP 01/28/2019, EDD 09/29/2019
My baby boy is due April 19 and I am hoping for a vaginal birth. I also hope to go as long as possible med-free, but I am not opposed to an epidural. I only worry about an epidural because I threw out my back in high school and I sometimes get intense sciatic pains since then; I don't want the epidural making that worse.
Baby boy is head down already so I am just hoping he stays there and puts his hands by his waist when he'd heading out instead of keeping them up by his face like he was for the last ultra sound.
