your very welcome 😊 anytime. @tea-chan

@momma588, thank you so much for the advice :) I will definitely take this all into consideration!

lol. honestly idk how I managed the pain so,well. I guess I kept thinking about how big the needle for the epidural was. and that made me not want any medication lol. also I was able to take a hot shower during active labor. which helped my contraction pain. also hsokg a birthing ball helped. and I moaned it out lol. I'm sure the people in the same floor as me. heard me loud and clear lol. but moaning our the pain does help.
but if you really want a natural. birth. you gotta believe in yourself. I bet you could do,it. but if not. don't feel like you failed. cause any type,of labor is something to cherish. and it'll make you stronger as a mother. @tea-chan

@momma588, oh my goodness! 4 natural births! tell me your secret!? I want to try to go as far as I can without medication. I want so badly to try for a natural birth! lately as it gets closer and closer to time for delivery, I am thinking a lot more about the pain. I honestly can't even imagine having a teenager. Oh goodness. I was such a pain in the butt; and your kids are supposed to be "five times worse" 😂 if that's true then I don't even know what I am going to do 😂

hahaha. thanks 😊😘 I try to be a trooper lol. this is my last baby. I have 3 girls and 1 boy. and thank God this is a boy too lol. I had 4 naturally. and with this one I wanna experience the epidural lol. I feel,like though. my oldest im,gonna be 13 in May 😢 lol. @tea-chan

@momma588, WOW 5! you're a trooper! I don't think I'd ever want to go through this five times 😂 I want two (maybe three if the second isn't a boy) but five is wonder woman status!

hahah. trust me me too. this is my 5th. and every single pregnancy was weird. lol lol. I blame my husband lol. @tea-chan

@momma588, It's honestly so weird because when I wasn't pregnant I was prone to UTI's. Pregnancy has done so many weird things to my body 😂

yea I would say you are definitely lucky lol. I'm glad to hear your not having any of those symptoms. I've had like 3 UTI 's with this pregnancy. 😒 @tea-chan

@momma588, Nope, none of those symptoms. They always tell me my urine is fine. I had a UTI in early pregnancy but I took my meds they prescribed me for it and I haven't had any complications since. I guess I am lucky in that sense.

yea. it's strange bc with my Dr. I always have to ask if my urine came back good. otherwise they don't tell me lol. and I've had blood in mine the last 2 visits. and they said it could be kidney related. but wasn't concerned. I've had kideny stones before while pregnant. so if your not having a fever or vomitting. I would say your okay. @tea-chan

@youngb doesn't sound dumb at all honestly. @kmally that seems the most logical in my case. I will talk to my OB about it. @momma588 they take my urine every appointment, would they normally test for this?

it could be kidney stone related. if your not drinking enough water. OR it could just be your baby growing. it the pain continues. I would go in and take a urine sample test. to rule,out a kideny infection or stones.

I get this on occasion. Most likely a subluxation due to the extra weight we are carrying that changes our posture. Seeing my chiropractor always helps :)

It could be gas lol. I know that sounds dumb but very possible.
