I wish I would have known more....unfortunately we just believed everything the doctor said. And yet another doctor would have probably said something completely different. As BJ reminds me these days, "they don't call it the practice of medicine for nothing."Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289563598612159717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108221103188891546.post-67293057490722255762011-04-14T23:41:30.438-06:002011-04-14T23:41:30.438-06:00Here is a P.S.

I just thought of...<br />I think some women think that if their Doctor says...you might have to "have" a C-section...that it will be an "easy" way of giving birth...what they probably don't think about is the recovery time they will need...which is less time to enjoy your new baby.<br />Just my 2 cents worth. 8-)*Reading Between the Lines*https://www.blogger.com/profile/03886374496517289677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108221103188891546.post-90084724586418378192011-04-14T23:23:23.460-06:002011-04-14T23:23:23.460-06:00Hey Lori,

Those 2 weighed 8lb 9oz and 8lbs 2oz.<br />The rest (6) were born at home... 5 of them weighing in at the 8lbs + & 9lbs +. My last child weighed 10lbs 4oz (he was the quickest and easiest). Anyway my point is a big baby should NOT mean automatic C-section...this is one thing that erks me about some Doctors! <br />Thanks for letting me vent. ;-)<br />Take care,<br />Nancy<br />P.S. Freebie: I never ate any of the Placentas (never have like liver).<br />We have buried them in the ground...some people plant a tree with them.*Reading Between the Lines*https://www.blogger.com/profile/03886374496517289677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108221103188891546.post-15535930690709193462011-04-14T15:34:27.597-06:002011-04-14T15:34:27.597-06:00I'll look at all of my affirmation cards and s...I'll look at all of my affirmation cards and see if I have who the author is on it....I love those cards.

I have a placenta in my freezer too, though I'm thinking it's about time to do something with it. ha ha. But soon there'll be two, Lord-willing and if the creek don't rise.

I got a link and props! xoxo to you too! T...hey! I got a link and props! xoxo to you too! Thanks! Birthing really is a journey, in so many many ways. Not just the one pregnancy and birth, but all that we choose to have (or that choose to have us), in a continuum. Hopefully you'll have sparked an interest in your previous post's momma regarding c-sections, pregnancy, diet, and that things can be different. You never know.<br />For the record, my first baby was a cesarean for breech, not because he was big. Although he WAS big, and afterwards my OB said, "Sometimes things happen for a reason," as though his being big *would* have been a problem for me, that was not the reason for the cesarean. She encouraged me to have a VBAC next time, which I'm grateful for. I already knew I would, but it was very good for me to have that affirmation from an OB.<br />And then Riley was a crazy amount of redemption for me; I threw myself into educating myself, whereas I had totally resisted that the first time around! And now look at me! Birth nutter. With a placenta in my freezer. Lol.<br />I love that quote, I'ma gone use it on Mothers of Change, K?<br />(Have you read The Help? Very good book!! You should get it from your library, SOON! Nothing to do with birthing, but it's good)melissa v.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14872177586401321895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108221103188891546.post-21507041789083324032011-04-12T19:11:23.778-06:002011-04-12T19:11:23.778-06:00p.s. that is a quote that I use by the way. :)p.s. that is a quote that I use by the way. :)Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650436474376248598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108221103188891546.post-33318680193719191572011-04-12T19:10:52.362-06:002011-04-12T19:10:52.362-06:00Lori-I love your quote at the end.

When ever I teach my lamaze classes I have a different set of laminated cards that I made that I put up all over the walls scattered around the room with quotes like this. They are affirmations for the mamas. Some are serious, some are silly....like an old native American one: If you lie down, the baby will not come out. he he. <br />Affirmations make women feel empowered, I hope....Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650436474376248598noreply@blogger.com
