02-6-2008 - Week 24 thinking on labor

My mood while writing this blog: contemplative

I'm still up 23 lbs. My desire is for my lbs to start being less than my weeks. Im thinking about labor more recently. I start getting stressed about it. I need to remember to pray. I stayed up late doing research last night. I have more to do but it makes me feel better taking some of the unknowns away. The problem can be that some source contradict others and so you never know if you are getting the truth so try to get your info from sights that are referring to actual studies rather than blogs and generic preggo sites. Like I read that 8 out of 10 women give birth within 2 hours after dialating to 4cm. If its true that is good to know. Then you have some idea. I want to find more statistics, I like them. If I find a great site that has alot of good info I'll list it here for others to use also.

What I'm thinking now is I'll get the epidural if I need it. "If" the anesthesiologist shows up in time that is. If he doesnt, well, at least that'll hopefully mean that it's going fast. If I can cope, then maybe no drugs. I just feel like I need to stop stressin over it. I need to do my homework so I can make informed decisions for myself and then not worry about it anymore. Worrying only accomlpishes negative results so I dont want to do it. I know God will be with me and see me through this, he will not give me more than I can bear. So...... ahhhhh ..(exhale).... I feel better now.
