Jul 20, 2008 - the baby can still breath whether he is in the water or not,until the umbilical cord is cut,which is the babys life support for 9 mths

Jul 20, 2008 - How sweet! Your doc/midwife seems amazing! He just rolls with it all, very laid back. Congrats! The "ordinariness" of this labor (the chatting and laughing, etc) is so refreshing!

Jul 20, 2008 - O.o... I'm afraid to have children now, and there's nothing more I want to be than pregnant. It seems all nice and swell until labor.

Jul 20, 2008 - If I get pregnant Ill be lke WOAH YAY! But then I wud think about the labour...its HORRIBLE!...PAINFUL...why do people sumtimes have it in the water...does it hurt less?

Jul 20, 2008 - im 21 weeks and scared but really excited, i just keep telling myself that its just a day of pain and after that its over and i will have my baby for the rest of my life. i just think about that and know that its worth it and that eases my fears of labor and delivery.

Jul 20, 2008 - The water is amazingly soothing. Some people refer to it as an "aquadural", in fact.

Jul 20, 2008 - some people are in labor for more than a day.. esp if youre young.... i was in labor for over 21 hours... and didn't get meds until 19 hours into the labor... consider it, its worth it!

Jul 20, 2008 - my first child i was in labor for 5 hours. It went pass so quickly.Take these times to relax and don't get to much worked up about labor. Enjoy the baby growing inside you.
derone24 Says:
Jul 20, 2008 - Not actually i had my baby young and was in labor for 5 hours.
salsachickus Says:
Jul 20, 2008 - k thank you. i know everyone is different and the labor is different with each person. i hope i have a good labor and not too hard but i think everyone wants that. lol. yea i think its more scary cause its the first one and dont know what to expect yet. thank you very much for your insite. i keep hearing more and more about just enjoying it right now and realize that is certainly the best thing for me to do. thanks again.
Erika0586 Says:
Jul 20, 2008 - keyword = some. congrats on only 5 hours though...
Baltimora1957 Says:
Jul 20, 2008 - That's exactly how I want to have my first baby. At home & dressed like that. I think I'm gross looking enough so I definately don't want to have my baby naked - no way. Especially not with tons of people watching me. Thanks for posting this.

jandt4ever07 Says:
Jul 20, 2008 - yeah mine was bad too. I actually threw up all the ice chips they gave me and it scared me because it came out of nowhere!
luvtlc Says:
Jul 20, 2008 - The baby instinctually will not breath until exposed to the air, until then they think they are still in the womb
