Re: Sharyn - Blood Thinner Saga

Hi Sharyn,

I still haven't decided on VBAC vs. a Scheduled C....I figured its

going to be like last time and the decision will be out of my hands.

I was induced and after 10 hours natural hard labor then finally a

lifesaving epidural (ha ha) and then 18 more hours of labor that

ended in a c-section.....I have no idea what my body will or won't

do.

My hubby wants me to at least try to vbac....I'm leaning towards

having a c-section because I know what will happen and I didn't

really find labor pains and contractions all that

enjoyable....especially since I have already had 3 bouts of false

labor!!!! Which hurt like hell!!!

The c-section for me was easy....after 4 days in the hospital I was

at the walmart and malls shopping for a little boy since all I had

was girl stuff!!!

But then again I was up and around right after my WLS too. I'm not

one to sit around if I don't have to...I'm a go go go kind of person.

Each visit to the doctor is a new experience....I wish this

pregnancy had some set kind of plan or rules but everything has been

just the opposite!

Oh well...I go back June 21st and I'll see what happens then and

keep you posted!

Sharyn and Chrystal...Pincushions? lol...I have only been taking Lovenox since

the May 29th! I have a LONG way to go!!! I just pray that it does its job and I

am able to carry my child to term. Right now, I am lucky cuz I take some of my

injections at work and get some of my coworkers (nurses) to give me the shot in

places I can't reach...anyway...
