yellowblue, you share the same name as my DD2 her name is Alannah!!!!!

Thanks for the info Jules, I generally have the shot in hospital so I'll see if they can give me some ice beforehand (although I dont think they do heparin after natural birth, this baby will be born the way nature intended).

All the best Alana I'll be keeping an eye out for you on the boards (or you can pm if you want to let me know).

Cheers,

Beck
Beck - for how long will you have to get the shots? The ice really helps - even my midwife at the clinic agreed it was a good idea, though the girl who I first practiced with (with the insulin needle) did not suggest it. So see how you go.

My new OB told me that a vaginal birth is absolutely possible for me!! I thought for sure I'd have to do a c-section. But she said she'll take me off the Clexane and aspirin towards the end and I should be fine. Of course there is always a chance I'll need a c-section for other reasons, but unless there is a massive problem, I'm so glad vaginal is a possibility!

Hope all is going well for you!!!
