I guess it helps that I went into labor on my own. My water broke early in the morning... Why were you induced? Were you overdue?

I wonder if maybe natural labor occurs in the night more because of our relaxation levels? When you're sleeping, you're relaxed, and being relaxed helps your body go into labor.

I guess she doesn't plan on napping. I hope all goes well with the delivery. I think what makes this really intoxicating for me is not only the positive excitement about what is to come, but also the accents they all have. Part of my family lives out there and it feels like I'm talking to them!

*hugs* Maybe it'll help other women that do want a natural intervention-free birth. It'll show them what can happen and they can form their own opinions and make their own decisions about what's best for them and their babies.

Thank you. My Mum gave me a couple of books on childbirth and the first month after, one is for C section and the other for natural. I can't bring myself to read them yet. Maybe later.

I may write him a list...he's good with point form directions I'll let him know how important that will be at the time. I'm actually getting excited to PROVE to myself that I can do this. It's already so different from the first two times, just by changing my mind about what I want.

They like to start life out at the beginning of the day here. Well, hi Kim! Where have you been, girlie? Oh yeah, probably...

When I watched it it didn't look like she had an epidural to me. She could move her own legs and everything, I know I couldn't AT ALL...I dunno:shrug:
