I had an epidural. I really wanted to avoid it, but I was running on a couple hours sleep, was severely dehydrated, and I went from no contractions to water breaking followed by contractions 4 minutes apart. eek I waited as long as I could, but then I just didn't have anything left.

Of course....GETTING the epidural was the most excruciating experience of my life. I don't know why it was so bad. I couldn't even talk about it for awhile afterward because remembering it upset me so badly. neutral I was okay after it was over except that after all the trauma, the drugs made me so sleepy! And I was TERRIFIED to go to sleep. In my freaked out state I was afraid I'd never wake up again. rolleyes

that reminds me of my labour with Phoenix... i was pushing him for almost 2 hours, and my labour went for 9 hours altogether (they really dragged out giving me drugs.. Paul snapped at the doctors so badly because i was screaming in pain), and over 48 hours i got 3 hours sleep. it sucked, so badly. especially because he was born at 5:36am, and mom and dad were picking us all up from the hospital at 10... so i had to have everything ready to go, so i got hardly any sleep.

those homeopathic teething tablets work really great, they are a life saver!

Do you know any name brands? So much easier for me to remember. XD I now know what my moms means about the forgetfulness. XD

umm it just says teething tablets XD i guess its generic i donno, but you can most likely find them at your local drugstore((found mine at Tiffany's)) either in the baby section or in the natural remedy stuff

Ah. Ok. I'll take a look at Target and WalMart and see what I can find. Thanks.

lol i forgot to say my memory is worse too lol i'll set something down and go look for what i set down in the next room..

HEHE! This reminds me of a really funny story from when I was younger. My mom was warming up some coffee in the microwave for before work one afternoon. Well she spent about 30 minutes looking all over the house, some totally ridiculous like in garage where we have an extra fridge, for where she left it... Later that night I went to warm up some leftovers and when I opened to door to the microwave there was the mug of coffee, long since gone cold. She never took it out. It was hillarious. When she got home she started laughing and was all "I feel so stupid." Priceless.

Giving whiskey to babies is a bad idea. I know people used to do it all the time, but it can be dangerous.

Wal-Mart carries teething tablets and baby ora-gel. I believe the tablets are "Hylans" brand. They have both in the baby section with the pacifiers. I also highly recommend Baltic amber teething necklaces. They are wonderful!

Aden started teething around 3 months, maybe sooner, and didn't get his first teeth until 9 and a half months. It can be a long, miserable process!



@ Pricey: Is Adan pronounced like "Aiden"? That's how Aden is pronounced!

Nope it is pronounced Ah dan. I choose some odd names for my kids. Dracen is pronounced Dray sen. Trust me when I say I pushed for the pronunciation of Aiden. I liked how different it looked, just wasn't into how different it sounded. My Grossie still couldn't pronounce his name after 2 years.

Oh yes, mommy brain... I know it well... xp

boy im having a hard time catching up xd

In regards to crying babies, volley...
my youngest son is HORRIBLE. cries from the moment he wakes to the moment he sleeps, most days. He hasnt got colic, but his crying has become more frequent and screechy since he started teething a month ago (so, when he was 2 months old).

in regards to teething...
My oldest son started at 1 month old, and had ALL his teeth (the ones expected to come in by 3 years old) at 1 year old. It was only the first 2 bottom ones that really upset him, the others werent a problem at all.

I know how you feel about the epi. I had one with my first child and it was no problem. I don't know what happened with the second child, but I believe it was the anesthesiologist. It hurt and felt like she was grinding on my spine. I had massive black and blue marks in the area so she must have done something wrong.

Would I get one again with baby number 3 in the future. Debatable because I don't feel the contractions on the epi.

[Dr Thirteen Hadley]

Gosh, I'm going to be up alll night, I swearz. I'm trying to put Lukas down in his bassi but he wakes up as soon as he's down. gosh lol I don't regret cuddling with him, but our new house is tiny... he'll have to be in his own room when we move. neutral

Oh yes, mommy brain... I know it well... xp

Yeah. I'll set something by the door to give back to my mom, we'll leave, walk right past it and forget it. The next time we go over, I'll do it again. XD

Yeah, I kinda wonder if it was the anesthesiologist's technique. After that I would never want to have one again. If I ever have more kids, I'm having them at home anyway.
