I'm glad she's doing okay now. And it's totally nice that they let you eat and drink during labor, because they typically don't here.<br /><br />Your anesthesiologist sounds awful! No wonder they think you could get paralyzed with anesthesiologists like that. For future children that may be born in the states, know that if you get a good doc, the epidural is nearly painless and and absolutely lovely. <br />P.S. Could they not give you more medication with the epidural? Because they gave me a little clicker button to give myself more if it wore off . . .Calliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861361418450032311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8534994551990168596.post-41691181412134485662011-04-08T21:25:59.127-04:002011-04-08T21:25:59.127-04:00I think I would have completely lost it with a doc...I think I would have completely lost it with a doctor like that!

Every time I...Wow - that epidural sounds horrible. Every time I've seen one done, it's over in like 15 minutes. They let you eat and drink during L&D here in NZ, and they also use Entonox (gas), but you have to hold the mask up yourself - it's not strapped on - so that you control the dosage. I've also not had any pelvic exams and likely won't until I'm in hospital and in labor. I guess it's just different depending on where you live :-)Jenny @ Practically Perfect...https://www.blogger.com/profile/12590373823861775665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8534994551990168596.post-41491932026723328192011-04-08T16:29:30.196-04:002011-04-08T16:29:30.196-04:00Oh Britt!

Luck my fanny...it is skill to practice medicine and he doesn't have it! I would have used the pain as an excuse to tell him what part of h@#% he could go to! I cannot believe they let you eat and drink! I'm still in awe that there is a website to help you time contractions! Amazing how far the technological support system has come for pregnant mothers!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04427203019545970588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8534994551990168596.post-85609694743563371902011-04-08T14:57:12.007-04:002011-04-08T14:57:12.007-04:00Oh my!

I would have lied to him too AND good for you for telling him your husband stays. Did the Dr. ever think that maybe he was the one making the enviroment stressful??!? Praise the Lord she is okay and healthy :) I am so happy for you and your family of 3!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10104059549970550399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8534994551990168596.post-16390225855610946842011-04-08T13:52:02.722-04:002011-04-08T13:52:02.722-04:00What an awful anesthesiologist!

Of course, you can technically do whatever you want. <br />Not pushing thru contrax is soooo hard. I had to talk myself through each one too. Cant wait to read more, I love birth stories!LeAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360378882035668129noreply@blogger.com
