You...Well it looks like I checked in just in time. You wear that baby well. Anyway, I did what you are "planning" with my number two. I actually knew I would get an epidural, but I wanted to feel it until I didn't want to feel it anymore. It was great. Now, number 4 I had no choice. It was too late for ANYTHING. I couldn't even get a little somethin-somethin to take the edge off. While it was hell for 5 minutes, I recovered so much quicker. It was the only time I didn't need stitches, and I did feel that euphoria. Pure bliss, I tell you. Being completely honest though, I'm glad I had the experience, but I wish I would have gone in earlier so I could have had an epidural. What can I say? After 3 births with one, I was addicted. I'm pretty confident that if were not LDS, I'd be a drug addict. So maybe I'm not the best example, but that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.<br /><br />Good luck on Wednesday! I can't wait to see pictures and hear how it all goes.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06792851267030624741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335941737821496491.post-10077329580380015942010-04-16T21:04:31.262-07:002010-04-16T21:04:31.262-07:00Yea!!

I keep checking your blog & face...you look FAB! I keep checking your blog & facebook to see if anything has happened, but now I know!! I had an epidural with Meredith & was all set to have one with Will & Fflyr (over here they like you to have an epidural with multies in case they have to rush you in for a c-section for baby number 2). So I had no birthing plan as thought it was covered! Went in to be induced, contractions started, asked for pain relief "no you're not dilated enough" - I was so tired I actually fell asleep between contractions believe it or not! When I could take it no more Alex went to ask for pain relieve & this time it was "er, sorry you're about to deliver, no time for pain relieve" & out popped Fflyr, swiftly followed by Will". Personally if I were to have another baby (no chance!) I would still ask for pain relief, but if was told I couldn't for some reason, it wouldn't worry me! Of course it hurts, but it is do-able & lets face it the end result is worth it, even with the pain!! You go for it girl & yes have you decided on a name yet?Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03066007021578115521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335941737821496491.post-3374271722222380012010-04-12T12:42:54.591-07:002010-04-12T12:42:54.591-07:00For one I can't wait until this baby is born. ...For one I can't wait until this baby is born. It's always a mystery what you guys are going to name your babies. Especially this time around since even you don't know. Second you are so dang cute it's just wrong. And thirdly I say get the epiderual the sooner the better. Especially if you have to have pitosin. With Corbin I wasn't even dilated to a two before I was begging for the epidural. Seriously. I don't think how far your dilated really matters for the pain factor. It's about how strong and how often your contractions are coming. With Corbin I just didn't have a break before the next awful contraction and it wasn't even helping me dilate. It wasn't until hours of agony that they let me finally have the epidural and THEN he came fast after that. Without the horrible pain I was able to relax and start dilating. With Gabrielle they gave me the epidural at the same time as the pitosin and it was awesome. I'm never going back to any other way if I have any control of the situation. Okay this is really long but good luck with whatever you decide to do. I say drugs first please.Mitzi Bealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419428650526911932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335941737821496491.post-49676885308637284292010-04-12T12:02:53.772-07:002010-04-12T12:02:53.772-07:00what a gorgeous pregnant woman you are!

My first epi didn't work and unfortunately, since I didn't know what it was supposed to feel like, I dialated to a 7 with it not working before I requested another. It's totally do-able as long as you stay focused and breathe! But, o man, once they replaced that baby...*heaven* :)<br />So if you want to feel the contractions then go for it but my advice is to not experience the pain for longer than an hour. It's just not worth it; you'll make yourself tired and won't be able to enjoy the special day.<br />Either way...good luck! You'll be great!

My advice for labor...get a perfect epidural and you'll feel as much pain as you want to be feeling. #1, had to wait for the epidural...not worth the pain. My #2 was perfect, #3..I was so glad I had that epidural because when it came time to push...he was FACE UP!!! That was awful!

Plus after I delivered it wore off so I felt all the stitches, but it really wasn't that bad. Your just so glad to be done you can hardly feel them. It felt like getting a shot in your gums, you can feel it, but it doesn't hurt too bad.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06225634559697254860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335941737821496491.post-40801968200715612010-04-12T04:47:51.325-07:002010-04-12T04:47:51.325-07:00Good luck! 2nd time around, I kinda knew the proc...Good luck! 2nd time around, I kinda knew the process to speed things up was getting my epidural & breaking my water & pumping potocin in me.
