It would be awesome if they had a Hello Kitty room....

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Because books.
I couldn't even have midwives because of the diabetes. Stupid body.
Then again, I was very happy for the drugs I got.

I'll probably have to have a csection, between the tilted uterus and the fibroid surgery but whatever happens, there WILL be drugs.

awesome birthing center. I walked in, and it looked like a regular bedroom, big queensized 4 poster bed, antique dresser, comfy chair, carpet. Then you go into the bathroom and it's like a hospital. There was a mixture of clinical and "homey" rooms. They have admitting privileges at a hospital 10 minutes away. It was nice actually.
This is exactly what I want, but they don't have it here. And I don't think I want to wait two years until we leave. I'm a bit ahead of myself because, you know, notpregnant, but I started thinking about all this back when I was pregnant.
I've been to two hospitals here and I wouldn't wnat to have a baby in either, if I could avoid it. But Joe is resistant to a home birth and I get that. Not sure what I will do in the end, but I now have a lot longer the figure that out.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Given my family history, I either want a birthing center with admitting privileges or a hospital. Drugs are a given. C-section is a high possiblity (shading in to probability as I age). Home birth is a no frickin' way, even though I am a Cancer.

Ideally, I would check into a hospital or nursing home of some sort the minute the stick turned blue and be monitored constantly, served nutritionally perfect meals, and led through exactly strenuous enough exercise for the folliowing 38 weeks. By then, the hospital would be home, so that's like a home birth...

-t, I like the way you think. It would be nice if the staff could stick around for the first 3-4 months, also.

Like Cash and the Empress, I pretty much made out with the Epidural Guy when he showed when I was in labor with Ben.
I almost missed getting anything with Sara (when I got to the hospital I was already in transition -- oops) but they did give me Nubain, which I can never remember how to spell, and it was sort of like giving birth during a really good high. Knew it hurt, didn't much care. Dozed off between contractions and even during pushing.
I wouldn't having some of that around regularly, come to think of it.

Make that years and I might reconsider this child-having thing.
