Shoot! I forgot all that breathing stuff which never really worked the last time anyway...excuse me for a minute...okay...oh and I should qualify the post title with "maybe." Except that I've been having perfectly spaced contractions for the past three hours...perfectly spaced meaning when lying in bed and trying to sleep, just as I almost drift off, along comes another. Just as I convince myself they'll stop and restart at a more convenient hour, along comes another. So I've given up on sleep for now.
What I wanted to take up with you is this natural chilbirth thing. uhhhhhhh. Cleansing breath. What in the heck? How can I get an IV drip of Stadol at my house? I don't particularly want to go to the hospital at 2:30 a.m. only to get monitored and prodded and such, but I sure could use the drugs, and maybe I could hit the tub too. Actually I would feel kind of silly going in with contractions 6 minutes apart. But what are you natural people thinking? How did you do it? I am not cut out for this kind of.......................................................................................................................................discomfort, even though I now must brag that my midwife used the word beautiful to describe my pelvis. Maybe she even said perfect. C'mon, how many of you ladies have a PERFECT pelvis?
