The Seeker Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 2 pounds? Is that possible at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvish Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Believe me, two pounds is NOT possible at this point. Twelve would be closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I just realized I never got in on this action. It's too late to be fair at this point, but my prediction is July 30th/8.3 lbs/22 inches. And absolutely beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvish Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 And I'm sorry for being crabby - just hard to believe that the doc was ready to slice and dice me on my due date. I'm pretty positive the baby doesn't have a womb-wall calendar. Anyway, I have an appointment with a chiropractor this morning who is qualified to perform the Webster technique. It's been known to turn breech babies - she's not, but the doc doesn't think she's optimally positioned. Then tomorrow, I'm seeing an acupuncturist. And I'm planning to have a baby this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 We know...on Saturday July 29th...the same day and date my oldest was born...Saturday, July 29th, 1989. It ended up being a c-section...the next two were planned c-sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Elvy you will have labor pains tonight and that little angel will be born tomorrow... Mine was a c-section and they told me if I had another child it would have to be a c-section you can't have natural after that for some reason. But no more for me.

Elvish Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Doctors are becoming more VBAC friendly these days (vaginal birth after cesarean) as research has shown the dangers of uterine rupture to be much lower than they originally thought. And my doctor has been VERY cool up until Monday. (Well, we did have a little disagreement about mandatory continuous fetal monitoring and an IV - compromised on that, though ) I really wasn't prepared for him to panic just because of a calendar date. I'm doing great, and so is the baby. I've been having lots of contractions, but they never stay regular. Apparently, the little one isn't engaged in the pelvis so the contrax aren't really doing much (which sucks VERY hard). So I'm hoping to cover both Western and Eastern medical philosophies with my appointments today and tomorrow and then get on with it. My ultimate goal is a VBAC, but if I go to 42 weeks I will absolutely consent to a repeat c-section because it's MUCH safer than a chemically induced induction.

Elvish Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Oh (since I'm sharing my life story here ) I would prefer a homebirth with a midwife (such a hippie ) but the only certified CNM in my area can't help me because of the VBAC and insurance reasons. Missouri is a tricky state when it comes to the legality of midwifery, unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I love that you are such a hippie, Elvy. Peace, man. I dig the idea of a midwife too, but that wasn't a viable option for me here in Redneckville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Jane 61 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Sissy here when it comes to pain...OMG!! After 13 hours of labor and the doc said I think we should take her by c-seciotn, I was ok what took you so long!! I tried to get up a leave in the middle of my labor, wanted it to stop and just go home. Like I said, big sissy here, I admit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvish Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 27 hours of labor before the first c-section here. I did have an epidural halfway through because of back labor, though This time, I really want to go all natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
