It's an easy read, and if your husband likes to read, he can read it or you can read it together. I think there's lots of great tips in there for how to get through labor naturally.<br /><br />Also, I think birth plans are so worth it - plan for all different kinds of scenarios and then you'll know how you want to approach different situations.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290036593543662150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1808196052835707185.post-43424997625144670352012-03-27T22:00:27.887-04:002012-03-27T22:00:27.887-04:00Still looking so cute at 28 weeks...I was the size...Still looking so cute at 28 weeks...I was the size of a house...especially with my second pregnancy, ha! I really hope that you'll be awake for the birth of your son if it comes down to needing a c-section. I went 20 hours without an epidural, and that was with pitocin (which I've heard makes contractions more painful), but I caved and asked for an epidural at the 20 hour mark. I was getting so tired and I wasn't progressing, they thought the epidural might relax me and aid in the opening of my cervix. No such luck, once I hit 30 hours with my water broke, they had to make the decision for a c-section. <br /><br />The fatigue during pregnancy is like no other, it completely drains you. You feel like you could nap at all hours of the day!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02182766520159643345noreply@blogger.com
