| oh and what was your best and worst part, mine was when i was in labour for 3 days which i was already in hospital i was rushed in 4 days before because of a kidney infection what set me into labour i was bleeding alot too. i also hated when they broke my waters and i woke up thinking i wet my self and when they told me i was 9cm dialated also but ready to push the nurse stayed with me the whole time even after when her shift was over which was good i hated the pushing i thought it would never end, i couldnt walk to the ward after but they made me which really pee'd me off ↑ |

You will feel different after you have your son.
I would do it al over again, hell I would like another, but my husband said no. Anyway, I don't have a favorite part of labor. But I was so happy to be done being pregnant, I hated pregnancy. ↑ |

| Yes in a heartbeat, but we decided to stop at one....I also have 2 step sons so it was hard to afford another. I have to say that I didn't really love being pregnant. I worked way too much so if I had it to do over I would take it much easier and spoil myself rotten. ↑ |

| That is one thing that I would change is to make sure that I was spoiled!!! Maid, Chef, everything ↑ |

| when you ladies talk about your babies coming, It makes me melloncolly on the days that I carried my precious babies and how those years past way to fast. Everyone has such high hopes and life is good. I envy you. enjoy it and cherish it because it passes quickly. Then they are grown. ↑ |

| I can't have anymore but if I could and were to do it all over again I would DEFINITELY get the epidural next time around!!!!! My labor was 6 1/2 hours of excruciating pain and puking!!!!!!! I was given 2 shots for the pain but they wore off quick and they would not give me a 3rd one so it was rough! All worth it in the end though,I had a healthy 8lb. 5oz. baby boy! ↑ |

| 13itchy-- you have some other factors that are making you feel that way too. I said for many years that I would not have more children. I am sure that we have at least a few of those same reasons in common. My son is 9yrs old now and I am 22.5 weeks with my second. It was even hard for me this time around to feel like pregnancy was a good and wonderful thing. It had jsut been such a bad time in my life the first time around. Don't get me worng my little boy is my life and love him so very much, but it was not always easy. Maybe one day you will change your mind, but don't let others make you feel bad if you never do. As far as the labor part it is like any other pain you soon forget how bad it hurt at the time. ↑ |

| i had 26 hour of labor no meds ( and not because i didnt want them they didnt work epideral, nothing worked) after all that labor i ended up haveing to have a c section witch is not easy either the the recovery sucks but if i had to do it all over im sure i would my son is blessing... and in my opinion the nine months sucked worse ↑ |

I have had enough babies.....
The labour was nothing compared to pregnancy as far as I am concerned.....I would do the labour a few times over rather then being pregnant for soooooo long.....Mind you I have very hard pregnancies.....I can not have any more though, too dangerous ↑ |

I understand my son was in the NICU then PICU for 8 weeks when he was born...it was so hard..I was 300 milesss from home...I didn't even see my son for 3 days cuz I had to recover...Then my family had to go back to work..so i was stuck in this city for a couple of weeks alone with my baby there...and it was so hard seeing him the way he was...I still smell that Nicu smell..and I can still hear those beeps goin off...But now he is doing good...and it is worth it...Though I don't know if i could have another child with problems ↑ |

Yea that is true jillw. I just never really saw myself as becoming a mum, i thought i would never be in the posistion to have a chance, because i was so skeptical about relationships etc. And if i ever did decide to have children again it would be in a committed relationship.
Which to tell you the truth i dont think will ever happen again. Aussie men..arnt so..Keen? on the idea of a single mum. I dont blame them..there is so much baggage.
I see other mums trying to deal with there kids when they misbehave i really dont think im going to cope very well, especially when i dont really have anyone around to help me.
So i think this is going to be quite a tramatic experience and i doubt that i will put myself through this again ↑ |

| That does sound depressing and selfish but i guess thats how i feel right now ↑ |

at my age now........well no hon. But its not because of the labour ...believe all of us....when its over ...its the truth...who cares...you just completly forget...because of what wonder you hold in your arms for the first time. Ladies love to talk labour stories...so will you...but its not as bad as it seems. Dont be frightened......on bit. Millions have done this before you...and millions more will follow. a moment in time....that passes. And you would never trade those moment for anything .....ever.
Bunny, those are not depressing and selfish comments. They are a young single moms concerns. All the worries of the world are on you at the moment....at least it feels that way. I know ....I was a single mom. I know a fair bit of how your feeling...and i assure you its natural. I was 38 year old single mother. Now i dont live where you do...but i will tell you this....the fears I do not believe are much diffrent. And around the globe....a 38year old single mother....hummmm chance for a committed relationship....kinda slim. But it happened...and it happend when Olivia was eitght months old. Here we are all of us today. A family of four...as happy as any family could be. So dont dispair about the men where you live. If they see your precious child as "baggage" you dont want them. And that someone....one day....is waiting out there just for the two of you to come into the light so they can introduce themselves. When its ment to be......dont rush it...dont dispair of it....when its ment to be. And it will be wonderful. Until that time.....you have one mission. You take care of yourself first.....this way you can take care of your child just the way you secretly dream of it. They may not have every thing on the market in the toy bin.....but they have you and they have love and support....money cant buy. Cant put that in the toy bin and they dont sell it. Far to precious and priceless.
Dont set your mind to "tramitc" experience raiseing a child is going to be. Its going to be a....challenge. This..every mother ...all those millions befor and after remember......they all had challenges with their children. Just take one issue at a time. That challenge today....can be gone tommorow...and yes a new one comes along. This is true of life without children...also. So...if you must face challenges in life...it really is sweeter to have those little hands and feet and loveing face challenging life along with you. It really is...I know. I hadnt any help either love. I at seven months packed up a house full of furniture...took myself cross country. Gutted rooms in a home i owned. Redid them while pregnant and after the birth of my child....sold the house...packed up and moved back to where I had started. You will be very surprised what you are willing to take on...younger moms or older ones. In the end we are mothers............who would lay our lives down for our children in a single heartbeat.
It will be fine bunny. One day one step at a time one challenge and when it all gets tooooooo much. You talk to your girls in the forum and let it out and find it out whatever you need ....we are here. ↑ |

| Your welcome baby.....and thank you so much. You will be fine...I can see that is going to be a truth. Before you know it you will be delighting in telling us all the lovely news.....and we want every wonderful bit of it....no making us wait either we dont like that....will come lookin lolololol!!!!! ↑ |
| Name: l3itchyl3unny | Date: Nov 22nd, 2006 8:35 PM |
I'm sure i will be all proud and happy and will be on here showing pictures of my little man.
Hospitals here now only keep you between 24 hours - 40 hours...some times less ! so i wont be away for long. I'm actually dissapointed with those times, especially for me because i have NO idea what im doing, and i will attempt to breast feed which is going to be more upsetting and difficult for me...but anyway we will see how it goes.
Not long to go now :D ↑ |
| Name: Layne | Date: Nov 22nd, 2006 9:07 PM |
| The nurses will help you with breast feeding. I remember when i had Brandon my now 24 year old. I was 17 and the nurses were wonderful for help and advice. i hope you get a good one. ↑ |
| Name: l3itchyl3unny | Date: Nov 22nd, 2006 9:11 PM |
Yea me too! so far all my visits to the hospital ive had really nice midwives...but there has been 1 really rude nasty one. I hope she isnt there because i know for a fact she will upset and distress me more.
But im pretty sure with my attitude i will tell her to get lost and bring me someone else. ↑ |
