[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What is even happening?

So usually a woman has her bladder emptied with a catheter every four hours once epidural is placed.

Really? I probably didn't have my epi for that long, with Ben. With Julia, I definitely didn't. They had to shut the meds right off, a literal minute after the epi was inserted.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

If so, did they already know you were going to be a section if/when they cath-ed you?

No - they cathed me way before my epidural. I think. I might be wrong about the whole thing. The demoral took away a lot of memories.

I had no cath.

But I had a walking one, so I could get up and use the bathroom. And did. At least once.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yay, Zmaybaby!!!!!

Is it too late for me to enter the time pool? If not, I say 6:30 am tomorrow morning.

I couldn't pee in late labor with Eve. It was kind of a problem, actually. Then I peed ALL OVER the midwife while she was sewing me up. I was like, "sorry!" and she was all, "seen worse."

Fingertip dilated only suggests a long night ahead for the Zmayhems, though. I was a fast laborer, and was 7cm when we got to the hospital with Eve, and more like 9 with Peter.

Trust my rage

I had to get a cath 14+ hours after the baby. I was almost crying I had to pee so bad but I just couldn't go. So weird!

Every time I see a variation on this, I think I missed the announcement in Beep Me.

flea, it sounds like we had the same problem. I couldn't pee while in labor either.

I'm hoping for a fast (but not so fast that it hurts too much) labor and safe arrival for the Septembereenie!

Afterwards, of course, I peed if you even got me in the vicinity of a toilet for weeks.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Me, too! With Liv. I begged them to cath me. You know what eventually worked with me, though? Lavender oil. The nurse put a few drops in the water and it made me go. Talk about weird.
