Hi everyone! I finally had my baby Jan. 10th via a sucessful VBAC! Yea! I did have to be induced and was carefully monitored, but everything went great. Baby Kristina came into the world at 1222 in the afternoon weighing 9 lbs. 10 oz. We are both home and doing well. I am taking it easy...

Thanks girls! I think I am just freaking out since I've never been overdue before, and the whole vbac thing is starting to scare me. I wasn't bothered by it before, but I'm having flashbacks to my last birth (the 2 day labor induction, getting to 10 cm. dilated, pushing and the baby getting...

Today is my due date and nothing! I've noticed that many of the people who were pregnant recently went overdue and ended up with a c-section. :-( I'm attempting a vbac, so I am not a candidate for induction. It's looking more and more like a c-section for me too. :-( I am at least...

Steph- I does sound like your c-section was medically necessary, you shouldn't feel bad about that! I'd go ahead and post your birth story, after all the hypnobabies stuff did help. I always love hearing that, as the time is close. I'm 38 wks this weekend. I was 3 cm. dialted and 70%...

Hi Steph! Glad you are recovering well from your c-section. I will try to answer some of your questions from what I remember (a little over 2 yrs. ago) from my "emergency" c-section. 1. After I left the hospital, I was there for 4 days, I didn't see my OB-GYN until my 6 wk. appointment. I...

RE: Sienna Joy aka Congratulations on your new baby girl!! I'm glad that she is here safely! :-) Sorry to hear you had to have a c-section, but at least you both are safe and healthy! Glad the breasfeeding is going well!!! Congrats again! :-)

RE: cathe-ite intense exerciser...newly pregnant need a... I also agree with the others. I noticed when I entered the 3rd trimester I had to slow down quite a bit. I switched to a prenatal water aerobics class, prenatal yoga videos and a old Kathy Smith prenatal video I had. It was kind of...

Yeah! Congratulations! I hope Steph and Manmohini post soon about their new arrivals too! :)

Oh, I feel for you! I am at almost 34 wks. and I am already ready to be done. I think it is very common for 1st babies to be overdue, not that that makes you feel any better. ;-) I hope everything goes well with you if you are induced tonight. Good luck! BTW, how did you do with the...

Wow, it does seem like your OB is being pretty strict. Do you have medical issues that need you to take it easy? I was doing pretty much my normal routine (when I didn't feel nauseated) until my second trimester. Then I started modifying as I get big fast. Now in my last trimester I've...

Funny, the same thing happened to me in the first trimester this pregnancy. I usually don't like fast food and for some reason was craving it (when I wasn't feeling nauseated). I indulged a few times and usually paid for it later with an upset stomach. I think it's OK to indulge your cravings...

It sounds like you and your doctor have it under control. I am going to be attempting a VBAC, in the hospital, monitoring for any complications. So, in a way, I can sympathize with your position. I hope we both have successful natural births and happy healthy babies! Good luck! :-)

I recently purchased from Sigg online and didn't have a great experience with the service. I like the bottles I ordered, but it took FOREVER to get them. It was interesting because they did charge my credit card immediately and took over 6 weeks to ship them. When they finally arrived, they...

Well, my first I concieved at age 33 and that took over a year. Approximately 6 months after having a lap to remove adhesions (I had a ruptured appendix as a child). With my second, I wasn't really "trying" I just thought I'd see what happens and I was pregnant the second month. I was 34 yo...

ROTFL! That was too cute! :-)

I liked the Dead Zone a lot. Pet Cemetary freaked me out and Thinner made me not feel so bad about having a few extra pounds. :-)

Steph, I hope everything is going well with your negotiations! I got the information yesterday and read through the first section. I also listened to the positive affirmations CD before going to bed last night. Today I am going to listen to the first part of CD #1 (as per the schedule)...

I read about hypnobabies from a previous post, and decided to order it and give it a try (it should be here next week). I was wondering if anyone else has tried it yet. I remember someone saying they were ordering it too. I was very unhappy with my last two deliveries, although, the babies...

I was going to recommend Body Fusion and the Low Impact Step Dvd's if you have them. They are still do-able for me (most days :) ); I'm a little over 24 wks now. I have a Kathy Smith pregnancy dvd and a prenatal yoga video that I will be pulling out in my last trimester. I get so huge, I'm...

Welcome! Hope everything goes well with your pregnancy!! :-)
