I can't believe I thought that.....
I was going to go through labor without drugs. I wanted
the option...but once the full pain hit me (like a freight train)...I could not have made it through as strong as I did without them. (jem0622) My mother could offer me the best advice on everything. She told me to let my son cry a
little bit so he could get to sleep and it turned out that (1) the bassinet had an odor and he couldn't sleep there, and (2) he had colic (milk allergy). I will never ever forget that and I won't ever do that again. The bassinet was out quick
and he slept on my chest for weeks....boy do I miss that. (jem0622) I would not be able to spend time with my 5 year-old after the baby was born. You will find time & love for each child. (fairy9272) i would get anything done after the
baby was born! but that's ok, i have the rest of my life to pay bills, etc. ds is only little once! (kristin.g) I wouldn't be able to handle labor and delivery. I turned out to be a real trooper through the whole thing!
(mj68) I could actually plan my baby's birth. The baby comes when and how he/she wants. Dont get so wrapped up in how the baby is going to be born, medicated/nonmedicated. Csection or vaginal. Have an open mind because what YOU plan and what
the BABY plans are often quite different. (ozip) babies sleep all day and that I can sleep when he sleeps! (hahahahahahahaahhahahahaaha!) (_karen)
the pregnancy wasn't going to be long & pushing the baby out was the hardest part that morning sickness only lasted the first trimester (it was longer for me), you would feel good while being pregnant (I was miseralbe, but I had complications), I would be able to keep it a secret for three
months like some people I know (we told 4 days after our + test), I would enjoy feeling every kick (the ones in the bladder and the ribs I didn't enjoy much). (ruth_73)
Babies didn't take up so much time. and sleep wasn't that big of a deal (petreece) I would have time to read lots of books that I had been meaning to get to on my 3 month maternity leave. I didn't pick one up. Not even once.
(jacobsmomee) nine months was a long period of time, it all passed sooo quickly. Enjoy the fact that you are carrying a new life and cherish every kick and flutter! (bailey3)
