Today I've been told by my midwife to think about my birth plan so what pain relief did people use I don't want the epidural and very anxious about gas and air just don't wanna feel ill lol
The pethadine made me sleepy. i was falling asleep inbetween contractions but I actually liked that xx
Ours don't do peth anymore I had it on my son made me sleepy but anaesthetist said it's like going out getting drunk still feeling the pain but not caring. she suggested rentofemil or something it's a needle in back of hand and u press button when u feel contraction lasts two mins and flushes out she said it's cos women were desperate to avoid an epi abd were struggling on peth gas an air so this was an in between
I had gas & air only with both, made me feel alittle weird but it helped, i really didnt want to have an epidural (which i couldnt have anyways with being at birth centre) i think if you get to a point where you cant handle the pain you will take anything to ease it xx
I had gas and air for little like half an hour. Most of the time I was just chewing on the tube. I don't know if it was that or the intensity and quickness of my labour but I couldn't physically feed my baby when he was born cause I was so tired and ended up having to have an a injection to make me feel less sick xx
I just had gas and air too. It made me feel quite sick but I managed. They offered me morphine I didn't like the side affects and I was ready to push anyway. I had a spinal anaesthetic as I had to go to theatre for stitches that was fine too xx
I found gas and air fine, pervasive can make you feel really out of it and if you get to the point you need an epidural you really won't care. Don't make any decisions just ask them to let you ask rather than offer then you'll only get what you need X
I've read up about the pethidine but there's a few side effects to that too isn't there
You can always try the gas and air and if you don't like it stop using it. I used just gas and air with my first. With my second the gas and air made me sick so I had pethadine xx
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
