Epidural or not?
Hey all. I am pregnant with my first child and am not sure if I want an epidural or not. I have heard that they can cause back pain in the future from having them and I am not overly thrilled about the needle in my back anyway. I was wondering is there anyone who has had a child with an epidural and maybe another child without an epidural and how do you compare the two. For those who only had natural childbirth, was it too hard to handle. I'm not too big of a baby, but I am not really fond of pain. TIA
No Epidural
Had epidural with my first child but had to due to consistently high blood pressure and complications with delivery. Unfortunately due to complications, I was hospitalized for 5 days. I did not have an epidural with my second child. Had my son at 8:49 a.m., only needed 2 Tylenol afterwards for pain and was up on my feet by 5 p.m. that evening. Doc said she would D/C me but I played it cautious and stayed overnight. Went Christmas shopping the next day!
DEFINITELY yes to the epidural. I think they were invented

This is JMHO...this is only...
a television show that has no impact on 99.9% of our lives, really not that important in the grand scheme of things. I get a kick out of it when he keeps hanging on, it upsets people so much, and causes such controversy!
JMHO but I think of it as this...
We, the viewers, are the ones who got whacked. As was said on the show, you won't see it coming and everything goes black...which is just what happened, no closing music, just black. Maybe Tony got whacked, maybe the family minus Meadow gets it, maybe us...interesting that Meadow could not park the car, just could not fit in, kind of like in the family, she was the one who usually had the most sense and logic. No matter what anyone thinks, the whole episode was tension filled and the last 5 minutes were spent (by me at least) wondering if and when Tony was going to get whacked...shows the paranoia associated with that lifestyle. Though I'm not thrilled with the ending, the song below the one Tony chose was Any Way You Want It by Journey...so I guess the ending is any way you want it.
JMHO
I am 25 now and have always been fairly responsible. I've worked since I was 14, legally since 16! I moved out right at 18 and paid for college and everything myself. Having said that, I went through a partying phase at around the same age as your daughter, maybe a little younger. My mother did not stop me even though I know she knew what I was doing. I still cannot believe she let me do it. It is such a dangerous world out there and by the grace of God I did not have anything terrible happen to me, although I did come REALLY close. I'm not sure what you should do other than talk to your daughter and go with your gut. I just wanted to let you see things from my perspective - sometimes I wish my mother would have stepped in.
JMHO...
ovaries, tubes, vagina, vaginal birth = female. Don't care if you lopped of your breasts, take testosterone, have facial hair (my Italian grandmother had that!), and mark the box about gender that has an M beside it; you are a woman.
