Pregnancy - November 2007

I am 34 weeks pregnant with twins, both are breech, my consultant and I have had several discussions about the pros and cons of vaginal delivery versus c-section.
I was wanting to know if anyone has experience of delivering breech babies vaginally, and how other people found having a c-section in comparison to having a vaginal birth.
Thanks.

i can understand why people get them, people have different pain during labor (both levels of pain & tolerances) and there are definitely reasons TO get them, i'm not saying that there aren't.

BUT, as with ANY medication or intervention, don't you agree that there *are* risks, there *are* potential side effects? wouldn't avoiding any of the potential risks & side effects be a very valid *reason* to opt for no epidural?

I eat and eat and eat, all day long. I eat really healthy though, balanced meals and all, and alot af fruit. I was a smoker before I was prego and had to quit when I found out, so I think that could have something to do with the hunger. I eat normally until I am full, and then about 1 hour later my stomach is aching to be fed again. I make sur eI am full before I go to bed, but If i wake up I am starving at like 2 am. Sometimes I get so hungry I end up throwing up stomach acid. Im not really sure what to do. Thankgod he is due in 17 days...Is this normal?

My 25lb dog leaped up when I was sitting and hit my belly about an inch up and over from my belly button. Would this do any damage?

If the mini pill only works while breastfeeding, then why did my doctor put me on it because of my blood pressure, my daughter is not breastfeeding. Does this mean I will become pregnant? My daughter is 8 months old. Also why does it say DO NOT TAKE THE 7 INACTIVE PILLS OUT OF THE COMBINATION PACK??? What are the chances I am going to get pregnant?

I was kind of sad when I found out it was a boy. I hate trucks and action figures. I was looking forward to having a girl to dress up and play barbies with. I just don't think that if I have a son I will bond with him the way I could with a girl. Did anyone else go though this? I am ashamed to be disapointed but that's just how I feel.

I went to the doc on wed and he said that i am all the way thinned out, and only 1 cm dialated... ive had lower back pain that has been constant for the last week, its even getting hard to go up the steps. I woke up this morning with a severe leg cramp, and i get cramping occasionally off and on. They come and go... sometimes the contractions are regular and other times they arent. my doc doesnt think i am going to make it to the day that i am induced which is suppose to be the 13th of Nov. Is there anything else i should look for to know that labor is coming?

i have noticed that moms that have had boy babies tend to have "deflated" boobs after breast feeding and that moms that have had girl babies or the last child of theirs being a girl, they have less "deflated" boobs...sorry for the "deflated" its just the only word i can think of to describe it right now. both have bigger breasts while they are breast feeding of course but once they stop breastfeeding it seems like they have different changes. have you noticed this as well? or is it just a coincidence? do you have different hormone changes after having a girl or boy?

I pushed my son for maybe five minutes before he was out. I hear about women pushing for hours and hours. Why is that? I mean, what is wrong medically that the women have to push for so long? The doctors thought I'd have to push for a long time because he was sunny side up [his face was towards my butt] but like I said it really wasn't bad for me.

I'm pregnant again and this is the first place I've ever heard of women pushing for long periods of time. What causes it? Is there anything I can do to prepare myself? I just worry about this next birth. If you had to push for a long time, obviously it was frustrating, how did you cope?

Thanks!!

For the past 3 days my stomach has been feeling really nasty and heavy, sick feeling and since yesterday I've been having hot flashes. I can hardly eat, I can't sleep and I have horrible pain in my left hip. Anyone else feel like that so far into the pregnancy? It's not signs of early labour is it? Its my first pregnancy, so I dont know what to expect realy. Any advice is helpful!

I labored 43 1/2 hours, 6 of it pushing, with irregular contractions up until my son crowned. the 6 of pushing I had a spinal and some other meds, but the rest of it was natural.

I look back on it knowing it sucked, but also realizing it wasnt anything as bad as I expected. I remember it hurting like holy flying flucks for about 30 seconds, and then it all being over.

Anyone else pleasantly suprised that it wasnt so much like death as you has expected?

I am 38 weeks pregnant. Last night I had a small gush of fluid come out of my vagina. Since then I have been having little trickles of this clear fluid (I'm thinking amniotic fluid?) and some spotting.
I have tried to look up information about these two things, and each site I have read has said something different.
I haven't been experiencing any frequent contractions, but could this be a sign that labor is coming SOON? I thought I'd ask some woman who have already experienced this and get their opinion. Please & thankyou!

Is it bad to hold it in for an hour during pregnancy 8wks. Sometimes it hurts a bit cuz i rly gotta go but cant. my teachers also dont know im preg. and cant know until i actually tell my parents. I just want to know if this is bad for me or the baby?

My upper back has been hurting badly. I am almost 6 months pregnant, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it, seeing as I haven't gained anymore weight than last month or gotten any bigger.Ive heard of the lower back hurting in pregnancy. Im confused because I have a desk job and don't lift anything. I do pop my back once in a while but it never hurts me. I can't sit still in my chair at work for over 10 seconds! It feels like there is a knife stuck in my back. Been using hot packs, & taking tylenol. If you were to even slightly poke me in the back it would kind of hurt! Any advice would be GREAT, im miserable and can't get into the doctor for weeks.
