I was lying in bed and started having cramping, thought nothing of it as the past few weeks of hoping had turned out to be absolutely nothing at all and was very disappointing. So I went to sleep. I had dreams of being in the hospital and having pain but I could feel the pain in real life... so weird. 4:30am hubby was getting up for work, the cramping was still there. I told him I was unsure if he should go to work. Then I completely doubted it as it has been nothing for so damn long. So I said forget it just keep your phone on and bring it with you. So at 5am I got out of bed and said, they arent going away. he asked if I thought baby was coming, I said i duno. So he left for work and I stayed home. at 7am I started having contractions but they werent consistant AT ALL so again, thought it was BH`s. Crazy shit I tell ya. I started timing them on the computer and still werent consistant at all. Called hubby and told him to come home as i wanted to be checked to ease my mind. I thought about packing my bag but didnt do it. Hubby picked up our babysitter on hisway home and I decided to pack my bag. Still not having pain, just discomfort. So we left for the hospital and got there at about 10:30 am and got in right away, they checked me and to my surprise I was 3cm. Then reality hit me and I was like `oh shit its actually happening`. 20 mins later they checked me again and I was 3-4cm.. .I was thinking well DAMN Im laboring SLOW as I never have before this time! So they told me to walk. I walked for a half hour, got upstairs and we went into the labor lounge and sat there and I started having real contractions that actually hurt me badly. I didnt make a peep. I breathed through them and swayed and sang... kids songs in my head ! It worked WELL! It didnt stop the pain but it got my mind off of it and and it was so much easier to deal with the pain. So an hour after being checked and being only 3-4cm I said to Cam `They need to check me now` so the nurse came and got me and brought me back to bed and said `ok yah your 7cm` so they brought me to my actual LDRP room. I used a wheel chair to get there as by now the pain was to bad to walk, let alone talk. I communicated by nodding and shaking y head. We got to the room in about 30 seconds and they told me to go pee. So I did. I came outta the bathroom and they said they were gonna start my IV as I was GBS positive and I told them, `no, you dont have time I have to push` and they said `oh ok`... as they knew I labored fast. So then I simply said I have to push and started to, they told me no but I didnt listen. I grunted my way through naturl childbirth. The nurse wanted to check me and I said no way. Then the doc said she had to and she did and I told her to get her fucking fingers outta there. So they told me to lay down while I pushed as I was on my side propped up. I said nothing and did my own thing, in my own time. Eventually I ended up on my side... which obviously wasnt long as I went went from 7 to delivery in 5 minutes!! But still.,. you get my point. Once I was on my side I felt the head coming out. I took a deep breath and grabbed Cams hands, despite their request to hold my own legs that WASNT HAPPENING! So I took that deep breath and let out one huge grunting scream and pushed her head out... then shoulders which were wrose... freaking OWY! She came out and was BLUE as the cord was around her neck. But she was fine, they placed her on my chest and she was here, she was finally here!!!!! We stayed in the hospital for 48 hours as I was GBS positive and had no IV meds before she came out. I am home now and am feeling great! My tummy is small again but still very flappy and you can tell I just had a baby, but it will go away in no time I know.

I love her SO MUCH and I am SO EXCITED to have her home!

Oh and I FINALLY have a baby that looks like ME! I have to admit though that she is a funny looking baby but she is cute to me... even though she looks Asian ! LOL!! I lvoe her! I will set pics up now! Love you ALLL!!!! And good luck to you ALL!

This is my Cameron with Brittany, Raymond and Sophie when she was first born!

You know I actually dreamed last night that you said on here that you needed Ashwaganda and that you were waiting on it to come in from Swanson. LOL I have been looking on there for things that might help you, that is one. But there are also things on there that can help your children. Something called Calm Child for your older kids and then for the youngest you can get gripe water, it's half the price of retail stores. A BARGAIN!!! I would definitely recommend passionflower for you I can tell a difference really soon after I take it, and it doesn't make me sleepy. I am about to try lemon balm and see how that works. They do have a blend of passion flower, skullcap, and lemon balm on there, may be good. Ashwaganda could be your thing since you were saying that in my dream. It is for long term relief though, from more immediate relief I would recommend the passion flower. And I know you've told me before whether you're nursing or not, but I can't remember, but if you're not then a definite would be Kava, I don't think you can get it from Swanson, but you can get good deals on Ebay, I will be getting some after I stop nursing or at least slow down. You can get it in capsules or ground powder that you can make a drink out of. It's the drink of the Islands (hawaii) it makes you relaxed, happy, social, etc... compared to alcohol but without the hangover or disillusionment, it actually enhances you mentally instead of impairing you.
I hope something helps.
Blessings

See Raegan can stand as well, but in the jumper even if she does not support herself on her feet it will only go down about so much so she is just sitting there playng with the toys. She does not support herself on it much as all. We won't be putting her in there but about 30 minutes a day a few times a week at first until her muscles are more developed.

Message to all This may be interesting to some of you. Seema`s email is seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Hi there,

I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.

We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.

If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.

You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Sx

oh i'm so sorry you feel that way, i hope you get things going smooth soon. What about your hubby? Doesn't he help? I wish I was around there so that I could help you. Are you gonna get some of those herbs from swanson? (for you and the kids) They've helped loads with me. let me know if you're interested in knowing more, i've looked into a bunch and can let you know anything i know and if i don't know then i will find out for you.

OMG don't they do those things at the perfect times LOL It's like they see you're hitting a breaking point, and they say ok, time do do something cute haha That's cute, but I can understand, getting no sleep is NO fun at all. I wish I had some experience with getting babies to sleep, I have no idea why she wouldn't be :-( Let me know if things change


lizamafers - Friday, 3 October
Oh that's great to hear! I'm glad you're getting a break. Ah I can't tell about his teeth anymore 'cause every time I try and look in his mouth, he coo's or laughs and it distracts me LOL

Well you know everyone tells me I'm the luckiest mom out there. Trent has never "scream" cried, he'll just lay there and whimper more than cry, and he'll stop right away as soon as you go near him. He doesn't like to be held to be fed, so we lay him on a pillow on his side (which he loves sleeping on) with a small pillow between his legs (that's a must) so that leaves me to do whatever. He keeps himself happy with rattles, been sleeping all night for over month...geez I ain't pushing it with two LOL I see the Doc in a week, I'm taking Trent so I'll get him to check his gums.


queen-ri - Thursday, 2 October
lol! that's funny. Yea this girl is fat too - I looked at her profile pic like damn thats how u want him to see you for the first time after 16 years!?


queen-ri - Thursday, 2 October
so I decided to block her instead and set his account to private. He will never know I did this but if he does he'll have to ask me about it. I figured out why the password change too - it wasn'r cuz of me - His account was phished (hacked) and myspace made him change the pw before he could look at his friend requests or send emails. Hopefully this is all done now
