GTKY? What kind of birth do you plan on having if everything goes your way? Med-free? Cesarean? Hospital? Birthcenter? Etc. I would love to do a med free, but I don't think that will happen. I don't think I would go through with it or be able to get DH on board. I will most likely birth in a hospital and wait as long as possible before getting medication.

Sore breasts, which are also coming and going, and fatigue which seems to be getting a little better.Any appointments this week? Not this week. I have one next Tuesday that I am soooo nervous about as it will be on the week of my first loss milestone. If everything looks good, I'll be the farthest along I have been. And the time is passing so sloooooow!GTKY? What kind of birth do you plan on having if everything goes your way? Med-free? Cesarean? Hospital? Birthcenter? Etc.

Hospital birth and there is a good chance I will have meds. My only rule for this birth is absolutely not to be induced if it can be at all avoided.

I would love to go to a birth centre but they don't have any around where I live, so its hospital for me. Not sure about med-free yet. Last time I got the epi and the moment it hit was like the best feeling EVER! But they didn't turn it down enough and I had alot of trouble pushing effectively. So, this time I think I'll just see how it goes.

GTKY? What kind of birth do you plan on having if everything goes your way? Medfree? Cesarean? Hospital? Birthcenter? Etc.
Hospital for sure. Considering trying for a med free birth this time. My epidural completely wore off right before I started pushing with DS and it was awful because I was completely caught off guard. I'd rather be prepared and have it be my choose to not have drugs.

genaruthp · May 2013

How far along are you? 8 WEEKS! (On u/s this week I measured three days ahead so baby would be 8 weeks 3 days... but I don't think that changes anything)

What fruit are you? Raspberry

What are your symptoms? Sickness in the evening, tender breasts, super smell, cravings (mostly salty/savory things it seems) and I am ALWAYS hungry

Any appointments this week? Yes - meet with my nurse to do blood work and initial stuff. No doppler or u/s this week

GTKY? What kind of birth do you plan on having if everything goes your way? I would love to VBAC, but after thinking I lost this pregnancy, I don't really care. My only concern with a c/s is that I don't have one too much before my EDD.

GTKY? What kind of birth do you plan on having if everything goes your way? Med-free? Cesarean? Hospital? Birthcenter? Etc.

So far in a hospital - I actually changed OBs to go to a new hospital closer to me. I'm still not sure what kind of birth I want. I had a rough time placing my epi last time, so I'm considering med free this time. I have a lot more reading/researching to do before I make the final decision. My ultimate goal is simply a safe birth and healthy baby.

GTKY? What kind of birth do you plan on having if everything goes your way? Med-free? Cesarean? Hospital? Birthcenter? Etc. Hospital. I want an epidural when I'm I'm close enough, but would like to avoid drugs to speed things up unless I get to a point where it's absolutely necessary (Pitocin, Cytotec, etc.)

-I will be having a hospital birth with an OB. I would like to try to avoid an epidural, but I may consider trying pain medications if needed. I want to be able to move and walk around. The hospital I will deliver at also has Jacuzzi tubs for laboring, so I want to take advantage of that.
