Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 Chrsity my sister in laws baby shower was planned a month before she was due. And we were teasing her that she could just go and have the baby and we would open all the gifts for her. Well she made it for her shower, but at 6am the very next morning we got a phone call from my brother that Carol's water broke. And my niece was born 2 hours later. (I just don't feel that is right that she should have her first child in 2 hours of labor . 's labor was 31 hours for me) -- Re: hello everyone!

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 was a 29 hour baby for me too. My mom kept trying to say, "crying and screaming won't help." Hey she only had one baby, and her water broke in the grocery store an hour before my brother was born. What does she know? You're right. There ought to be a law! Re: hello everyone!

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 you have no idea how lucky you are to be able to have home births. I wouldnt even think of it. My sons cord was wrapped around his neck. Then because he was so large (10lbs 2oz) he was stuck. By the time they yanked him out and broke his collarbone he wasnt breathing. I cant imagine not being in the hospital for L & D. Needless to say 2 1/2 years later he is going through he umm....terrific twos!!!! Gretchen > Yeah long labors are so hard to go through.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 Yeah long labors are so hard to go through. Now was 12 hours but I had a midwife and it was great. Of course it hurt, but with the midwife and having the baby at home, I had more control over what happened. I loved it. I didn't have any pain medicine with any of the boys. And I had them all either at home or in a birthing center. But none of them were short. was 6 hours and then was 12 hours. And with I had to walk the full 12 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was terrible.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hi Barbara - I can't imagine New England winters anymore with the way my bones feel with just a FL T-storm. I used to live in Vermont and while I miss the fall foliage, snow and the cooler weather, I know I couldn't ever live up there again. I live in Central Florida now - on the east coast Orange City. This past weekend we went to Madeira Beach on the west coast - I can't get over how much more humid it is over there than here. I'm looking forward to the cooler/dryer air we are supposed to have this week - lows in 60's, highs upper 70's/low 80's. This is my favorite time of year - not too hot/not too cold. The heat and humidity bother me just as much as the cold does. You're probably home by now since I am a couple of days behind on the digests. Praying that you had an uneventful flight and are settling back in again......Doreen > > Hi Doreen: > > So nice to get your e-mail.
