Were you allowed to bring a video tape? I think it'll illegal now - at least at my place it is SO sad because my SIL's used to watch their's all the time....

I don't know about bringing a video tape... we never really thought of doing that. I think some places automatically tape it for you though. Maybe you could call and find out.

what are your thoughts on when delivery happens....natural, or with an epidural? Sorry if this is too personal (wait--can you GET too personal on this website??), I was just wondering. I've thought about that some...I know my mom had an epidural and swears by it, but it seems nowadays a lot of mothers are trying the natural way. I'm just not sure I can handle it!

Wow, that would be cool but I've never heard of it myself! I've always just seen them print off pictures!
Ginger asked about child birth, I'll take the drugs please! I admire the women you can do it al-natural but I really don't think I could handle it! My mom was in labor with me for 36 hours!

That's an EASY one!
Epidural all the way! There is no proof anywhere that having an epidural harms the baby in any way, shape, or form...so why not try and make the experience less painful??

I was wondering what you were on about!
This is going to be so cool. I've only ever seen the piccies on tv...to actually see the picture of a real baby of someone I know...how cool is that?

I'm going to try it without any drugs... but will have the option of getting an epidural in the back of my mind. I've heard that epidurals can increase the amount of labor time quite a bit, not only that, but so many babies are born with broken collar bones and broken necks from doctors pulling on them so hard. With a natural delivery, there's less chance of this happening because you're more in control of your pushing.

Well, to be fair, when I got my ultrasound* it was over 12 years ago... I guess the technology has improved a bit.
*they were checking to make sure my organs were ok, NOT to look at any babies.
