Pregnancy-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, 976 days ago)

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. ok ladies, my pictures are all gone from my profile but my blogs and polls are still there,.. i have been waiting to see if it was just a glitch and they would come back but they havent.. do i need to make a new profile to fix it?
  2. When did do you pack your hospital bag?
  3. Regarding Porn on Polls
  4. Went to see Man On A Ledge on Tues.......BRILLIANT!!
  5. My friend has just started taking fertility tablets which the DR said could increase her chances of having twins by 10%. Did this work for any of you and did you have twins?
  6. OMG, I posted on FB (in reponse to a suggestion made to me on From Our House To Yours) that I didn`t like a business because the items were very expensive and my friend got a bad deal there and the owner is threatening to sue me! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I actually paid a consultation fee and my lawyer told me that she was `absurd with possible mental health problems.` I am protected by the fisrt ammendment to express my honest opinions freely where I choose, but he said she can take it to court(because people can TRY to sue over anything) anyway and that it might cost me legal bills. We will both be out a lot of money because she couldn`t possibly win. Can you believe that? FML! First my records and now this! I hope my baby isn`t a bad luck baby. I see people not recommending or recommending businesses all the time on FB!
  7. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  8. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  9. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  10. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
