GTKY: What is your biggest fear about delivery? Everything. I'm scared of it all. I'm scared of the pain but I know if I get an epi I'll move and paralyze myself. I'm terrified to have a c section, I now have a glimpse of hope that won't happen. My mom didn't have easy births, so that probably plays into my fear.

@shannonliggett I can't even, way too much cuteness! @satrimm please don't listen to your friend. Breast feeding you only need supportive friends. My first LO I had no support and only lasted maybe 4-6 weeks. With DS and this LO I've had a huge support system, makes it so much easier. Don't believe stories, there are tons of resources that help with breastfeeding concerns. You will do great!

Upcoming appointments? Had one today and another one tomorrow. I am really over all these doctor appointments! I mean, I am thankful for access to care and for insurance, but this is getting old.
GTKY: What is your biggest fear about delivery? The spinal and epidural placement. Last time they used a nurse anesthetist and she didn't do a good job and ultimately couldn't place it so the actual anesthesiologist had to step in. Sorry if this sounds cranky but where my spine is concerned I want a doctor, not a nurse. Naturally, she is scheduled to be on duty the day I deliver. Yay. <---sarcasm.
