The baby will have no idea that you felt like that, and you are entitled to feel exactly how you do, No one has any right to tell you how to feel. That includes people on this board who insist on be judgemental everytime a woman expresses some disapointment in the gender.View Thread

While I do find it lonely here some times, and I am a little nervous about dealing with a new born and a 3 year old I don't regret being out here. I moved from the prairies out to Nova Scotia where it is beautiful, I have the ocean all around, lakes everywhere and such a slower pace of life. I look at the lifestyle we live here and compare it to the Rat Race of the Alberta Oil Patch and I think it is worth it to go through a few years of having to raise children without much family help. I have found several stay at home moms who are wonderful with my son and I can always count on them when I need a babysitter or some sort of help.
My long winded point here is that I understand how you feel, and for us the decision was to stay where we are, but it is a personal decision and only you and your DH can way what is right for your family.View Thread

I went into my first labour with a "go with the flow" attitude, well I ended up being induced, but I had a reaction to the cervidel which caused me to have extremely painful contractions that where 3 minutes apart from my first contraction plus my uterus would not relax in between them. And to top that off my son was in OP position so i was having awful back labour.
Within half an hour of being at the hospital the nurses basically informed me she was bringing me some morphine because I clearly needed it, then as soon as they had a birthing room they would call for an epi. I can tell you that this time there is no way I would accept the narcotics, even if I have another terrible experience but I will not hesitate to have the epi.View Thread

I have seen a lot of women wear a bikini with a tank top over top if you are not comfortable walking around with your full belly hanging out. That way you don't need to pay extra for a maternity suit, they can be really expensive.View Thread
