Need a better frame of mind...

[Maggot]

So this is my first time to actually say anything, so bear with me if I do something stupid

I first started looking in BB again for when you start taking RLT and EPO, etc, then got waylaid by looking through all the threads about pregnancies going WAY over the due date and such.

I had an emergency c/s with #1, NATURAL (never thought I could ever do it without drugs, but it all happened so fast there was no chance to get any! ) VBAC with #2, but am still a bit scared of going past due date this time, as I really don't want another c/s.

Anyway, just wanted to get back into a better frame of mind, after seeing all these comments on "I'm so over it", and start thinking more along the lines of enjoying this pg.

Thanks for taking the time to read, just saying hello, really

[Maggot]

Hello. Yey! You're my first reply! Hehe - I get overexcited by the smallest things (lots of fun that way though)

Yeah, thought stopping reading the overdue threads would make me feel more "normal"

Haha, thanks. Got the nickname at high school and it's still around. I love it too!

Oh you have so much of your pregnancy ahead of you. Enjoy it, I love being pregnant & I always go over. Its no big deal. Just enjoy your belly getting bigger & bigger. I loved playing with my flat belly button when I was nice & big. I'm due about a month after you

I'd like to think the same way! You're due 4 days before me, so pop on over and spread the positivity !

Hello fellow mountain dweller! I'm in the Blue Mountains too...

GL with your pg! Keep up the positive thinking

[*Efjay*]

hehehe Im in the blue Mountains too!

[~phyrephly~]

Yay us mountain folk!! Nice to know there are some of us out there!

[Maggot]

Thanks guys for your posts, I'll go and check out the due date buddies too

Ha! Great to see some Mountain folk. Never thought I'd run into anyone so close three pg women from the Mountains, hmm, well, you know what they say about Mountain men... guess it's true!! Haha hehe, I know, sad!

Hmm, I think once my pg belly starts to catch up to my fat tummy I'll feel a bit better (with really bad morning sickness, I HAD to eat ALL the time, so put on a LOT of weight already )

Holy cow, did you have a caesarean without anaesthetic?! Or am I reading that wrong? I've read it 15 times now!

Welcome to BB

[peanutter]

welcome

I pray you enjoy your pregnancy, and have a wonderful time at BB

[Maggot]

OMG!! I didn't realise I wrote it like that! No, it was a natural VBAC, I think my comments inbetween brackets was just too long! I went under general with the c/s, so I didn't even get to see bub till a few hours afterwards

Welcome to BB

I did EXACTLY the same

I'm so glad you didn't have a c/s without drugs!

Double post

Welcome to BB!! Your Teagan is 2 days older than my Iz and my DS is called James as well! I don't live in the Blue Mountains though It's so hard going over - I went 14 days o/d with my DS trying to have a vbac because I didn't want a c.s and I was pretty over it but I was so determined to have a vbac (that didn't happen unfortunately) that I really truly did just enjoy the last few weeks of my pg hard as they were. I had to laugh about it really and as some gorgeous women told me I clearly have a very comfy uterus. I think your state of mind makes a big difference and if you remind yourself that bub wants to choose his/her own due date and that it will all happen in good time you will be fine!

Oh, LOL, of course that's what you meant I'm sorry you didn't get to hold your baby for so long

[Maggot]

Thank you everybody for making me feel so welcome

Tanstar: That's freaky! It would be very scary if you did live in the Mountains too though! Here's something to think about (if you hadn't already): our children are "Bond" babies Iz and Teagan were born in 2"007" and then we've got James! Ha! Well, we grew up with the James Bond movies, so I thought it was cool once I realised. Hehe...

Sorry you didn't get the VBAC you wanted. I was lucky, though I don't think the doctors at the hospital helped much, stressing me out about it, really. Which I guess is the reason why I don't want to go over because of chance of c/s. I know it's a possibility anyway (with DD I had a placental abruption), but the VBAC for me was so much nicer... anyway, here I am just writing out my thoughts, sorry to anyone who is bored

Hehe - I love the comfy uterus.

Anyway, I know all is good once you have your healthy happy baby in your arms. I will be being very positive now - yey!!
