wow, what a wonderful story Catelyn

[Guest guest]

I somehow knew I couldn't have an epidural. So glad everything came out well for you and for your son! I told my OB that I wanted as little drugs as possible because I knew from long bitter experience that I am super sensitive to most prescription drugs and many herbal remedies too! Most environmentally ill people are. Most cannot take any prescription drugs at all, not anything. I even know one "canary" who had to pull her own tooth. She asked many dentists to do it for her without anesthesia cause she is "allergic" or chemically sensitive to it but they all refused. I don't know how she did it. After my ordeal with delivery via traditional methods I knew several women who had great experiences using midwives. Wish I had known to get one, my life might have been completely

different. After my surgery of 1993 which was going to make me feel like a teenager I never recovered from the anesthesia and was never able to work again. I think anesthesia is very dangerous for some of us. Not long after that I was finally diagnosed with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity also called EI. Many asthmatics have it but have not been diagnosed. Alice nawiliwili_k wrote: Yes, midwives are great! My frist birth was a horror show that ended up with us both nearly dying. I had an immediate horrid reaction to the eipdural and my son was born 9 minutes later by emergency cesearan. He was recussiatated because he suffered oxygen deprivation and spent time on life support in the neonatal intenstive care and I didn't even see the little bub until he was 10 hours old. It was a horrible horrible thing. He's 12 and he's completely fine and quite brilliant despite being told duing those dark days that he had irreverable brain damage. The OB told me that I was to never have an epidrual again which left me with the option of a c/section under a general or to have a vagainal birth au natural. DH and I were both totally traumatized by the whole ordeal and decided no more kids... until we had that oopse. ;)The

thought of another surgery scared the pants off of me and I found myself a wonderful midwife out of sheer necessity. The thought of a midwife scared the pants off my husband until our daughter was born. My two youngest kids were born at home with no drugs or any sorts of interventions. They were both wonderful peaceful experiences and both of them were the calmest babies who nursed well and rarely fussed. I had to take my 4 year old to a specialst for growth issues and he asked about his birth. I was nervous to say given how most doctors feel about midwives but this guy took one look at me and said "every baby deserves a birth like that". It just blew my mind!Catelyn> >> > > > i have no kids yet, but i am very FEARFUL of having kids, i have > asthma and all, that i may not survive without taking my meds for 9 > months...i could not tell my husband about it, he liked us to have kids.> > > > if you could tell me how moms with asthma have kids? and what > should i do...sometimes sex for us is fearful too, once we are at a > peak, then my asthma came in, please help me> >> > > > > > > http://www.stopthet hyroidmadness. com/> > There is an old book written by Dr

I'll be who I want to be, and I'm proud to be me. Sure like your siggie line so had to have it, thanks!
