I was in labor for a week before he was finally born. We tried to turn him but he was a stubborn little cuss and refused to cooperate. It's amazing how at 24 weeks there is a, 85% survival rate...the advances that have been made since my preemie was born is astounding.<br /><br />You look gorgeous. Take it easy. You won't get a chance once that little sweetie is here.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00512096636426988173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158219585502141716.post-26577333578706650992011-08-01T19:27:01.331-07:002011-08-01T19:27:01.331-07:00You look lovely!

Well, you look gorgeous. My mum e...Oh sweetheart. Well, you look gorgeous. My mum even said to tell you so (she's visiting, and I showed her this pic). I think her exact words were along the lines of "She's just the sweetest, most beautiful thing. And she has the cutest family." :-) As soon as my mum's out of town, I'm mailing you that hoodie :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08506580996142138707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158219585502141716.post-37026713546416574262011-08-01T06:50:05.726-07:002011-08-01T06:50:05.726-07:00I don't like this idea that one way is more na...I don't like this idea that one way is more natural then another. Drugs or no drugs, vbac or c-section, home or hospital. Of course I understand you wanting a vbac for quick recovery. But any way she comes, she'll be perfect. Don't worry about it too much because as you already know it doesn't ever go as planned lol. The best part is they all have their own unique entrance stories.jenhttp://jentography.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158219585502141716.post-68317486565353141982011-07-31T22:56:05.668-07:002011-07-31T22:56:05.668-07:00I loved reading this update.

Funny thing is, I think I was also craving a lot of sweets around that time. <br />I don't know if it's popular over there in Canada, but here women start having acupuncture done at 35 weeks to prepare for birth. Both my sister in law and my husband's cousin had it done; my SIL's VBAC took 2 hours, and my husband's cousin's first labor took 6 hours. So short! So I am definitely going to be getting acupuncture done once a week beginning at 35 weeks. My Sister in law's first birth was a lot like Noah's...very long and frustrating and ending in a c-section. I hope with all of my heart that your little girl's birth will be natural...although in the end, the most important thing is of course that they arrive safely and healthy, no matter by which means.<br />The scare we had really prepared me for alternative possibilities than the natural birth I have been hoping for. I realized that the most important thing to me is my baby's well-being. I am now open for a hospital birth, if that's what needs to happen. <br />You are looking beautiful...such a perfectly round, lovely belly!<br />Can't wait to hear more...Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13347524768245781298noreply@blogger.com
