Pregnancy-poll poll Would having an epidural affect your choice as to who you would want present during the delivery (eg would having an epidural make you more modest and aware of who`s there)?
(Pregnancy poll by moncheri09, 973 days ago)
No, not really... you're pretty much oblivious during delivery anyway.
Yes, most likely.

I had an epidural and I didn`t care who saw what I just wanted to push that baby OUT! LOL

As soon as I hit 6 cm and the contractions were intolderable...I didn`t care who was in the room, epidural or not. I just wanted the baby OUT! In fact, I remember laying there..legs wide open, in the stirrups..va-jay-jay all expose..and this strange lady walks in like nothing, looking for her daughter. The nurse was like `ma`am, you`re daughter is not in this room anymore`..(she was there the day before i think. Alos, I had a nurse tech sitting at the foot of the bed just starring and starring at my vag...like, Im talking, DIRECTLY siiting in front of my junk..for about 2 hours she sat there just looking at my wazoo. I was wondering what the heck she was doing..but honestly..could care less at that point.

I still think my births should be as private as possible so it wouldnt matter to me.

First of all, I also loved my epidural! I was so calm and in control. Everything just seemed like no big deal once I had it, they said push and I pushed. But, as far as having people in the room . . . I was just as modest and aware of the fact that my crotch was on display after the epidural as I was before. I had my hubby in there and that was it. In fact, I think I was more modest after the epidural because I had the ability to calmly think about the fact that I was on display down there.

Good question. I have never thought about it, but I think it might affect my decision on the emotional side of things.

I had an epi and by the time it was time to push I felt the pain 100% ~ the epi doesnt take all the pain away for delivery just makes laboring less painful and for some, like me, can often be worn off by the time you push ~

This is my first baby so maybe I am totally off base here, but you will not be the first or the last that your Doc or whoever is delivering your baby. That is how I have to look at it when I go to my reg doc appointment to do that which all of us love so much. lol. I am going to have my hubby in the room at least, I couldn`t do it alone lol.

And epi will help with pain it doesnt effect you in regards to being oblivious ~ it will no effect on how you wait others being there. You either want them or you dont, the epi has no baring on that :)

All the epidural will do is pain relief, u do have to stay on the bed but even if u were having a normal pain free birth there wouldn be much dif apart from u would have teh choice to move around! It wont make a dif to how many ppl u want in there and none of ur bits will be on show because of it. I lerveeedd my epi! Made me relax and I didnt even swear or anything to my H2B! And Saved my babys life too so cant recommend them enough! x

  1. Thought they were fixing the problem with the profiles? Mine is now starting to disappear and most of my friends profiles are gone. Is it getting fixed or what because its more than a joke at the moment. Maybe its the ads causing the problems because its the only thing that seems to stay when the profiles disappear.
  2. If you had a `favourable` cervix (started to dilate and soft) did a membrane sweep work for you?
  3. Should I buy my sister a Belly Bandit for her shower? She said that is what she wanted when I asked. I just have a hard time spending that much money on some thing she might niot like. Especially because it was me who put the dumb :) idea in her head!! I bought and used one for three out of my four and loved it...but is it for everyone? Or should I throw down the money to something more practical?
  4. Are your children exposed to two hours or less of TV per day? (This includes when your shows are on and they are awake and around at the same time in the same room)


  5. Just finished making a birthday cake for the first time from our baby girl for her daddys bday tomorrow :o)
  6. Extension of last Valentine question..I should clarify that we are having V-day dinner tomorrow alone but still just the fact that he bought our gifts at the same time at the same place bugs the s-it out of me. He knows I like plants and I`m pretty sure he went to a nice nursey and got me one but the fact is he told me he got his mom a small little plant. OMG I fee like I total b-tch but I feel like telling him I know what he probably got me and I do not want anything that you are giving your mom!! But then he wopuld know I snooped and saw where he went on our checking account.
  7. O.k I know this is a off the wall question..Is it weird and selfish of me to be annoyed that my husband has is giving his mom a Vanetine gift and card tonight when she comes over and wants to give me mine too today? I know I`m probably being sensitive and I feel bad that I made the comment `if you give me the same thing as your mom I`m gonna cry`. He said I should`nt ruin the surprise and I told him I was sorry but I just wanted our Valentines seperate because everything includes his family and it`s a day for lovers. Am I....
  8. Site Update
  9. I`m getting quite annoyed...I`ve been buying nail polish lately and it seems every one I buy is crap. They take forever to dry and look just sloppy by the time they are dried. Is there something specific to look for when buying nail polish?? am I missing something?? LOL What are your favorite `fast drying` brands?? Thanks in advance
  10. I am trying to decide whether to go back to work after my maternity leave ends. We can live on both amounts, but with the higher one we can obviously afford more and even safe up for a deposit to buy a house. But it would mean leaving our daughter (she will be 1) at a nursery full time.
