Hi everyone, Is there a way to make love during pregnancy (33 weeks) in the, um, traditional manner, but which would not cause too much pressure on my belly?...
Um, I'm not sure what you mean my traditional. You could try spooning or woman on hands and knees with husband behind. If you mean missionary style I would...
I second the woman on top suggestion. The more you can control how things are going, the more comfortable you can be. If you find it exhausting to be on top,...
Here's one position I found very comfortable during my three pregnancies. You are laying on the bed, while your husband stands on the floor... So lay on the...
Hi Ladies! Thank you so much for the information, it is very much appreciated and will hopefully be implemented soon! Gratefully, Cecilia ... Looking for last...
Hello ladies, This is my first pregnancy and I'm going on 34 weeks. I've been thinking alot about what it will be like to give birth, and if I'll want/need...
I had a natural home birth with my first. It was hard work, and I had back labor so it felt like a rhythmic back ache for a lot of it....but I'd had near...
Cecilia, I believe very strongly that natural childbirth is the way to go. I've had to water births with no pain meds at all. I went into my first labour...
I'm currently pregnant with our 6th baby, planning our 5th home birth. I had an epidural with my first child and immediately regretted it. I was ambivalent...
Wow - Bekah's words rang so true for me! "the greater the required effort, the greater the ecstasy after the birth" This is exactly how it was for me comparing...
Cecilia, In case some of the natural birth ladies out there are too busy to comment, you may want to go back and check the group archives, I seem to remember ...

Cecilia~ what a beautiful name~ My mom too gave birth to six of us naturally and that is such a gift to have, because despite my fears at least I had that...
I would also add if you want a natural birth to surround yourself with people who want the same thing. A Doula, your husband, midwives etc. If you are in a...
I did not have an eipdural however, I had IV medicines with both of my kids. I simply did not want a needle in my spine. I tried to go without pain meds but...
As someone who's had four children without painkillers, I will second the woman who stated that the pain is like bad menstral cramps. As far as I'm concerned...
To those who have had an epidural or other pain meds, is there anything you could share to recommend this or not? I had an epidural with all three of mine, and...
I think the complications with these things and just a general- how it will work with your body- are things you don't get to know until you have already had...
I had one epidural out of 3 deliveries. That one delivery was the only one where I did not feel an instant bonding love with my baby. We ended up having...
oh yes the ITCHING. also a nightmare. It hits me hours after the c/s and I have tried to look out for myself and tell them to just order the benedryl and have...
... I agree -- I mean, it's more severe than bad menstrual cramps, but it is the same "kind" or "flavor" of pain if you know what I mean. I've had three babies...
LOL Jennifer! Yeah no kidding. I'd liken mine to a charlie horse in my abdomen. Elaine Mills Co-Leader, ICAN of Atlanta http://atlanta.ican-online.org ... ...
Anyway, most of the time I would describe labor pains as "intensely annoying." I really want to get away from them and make them stop, in the same sort of way...
Not sure if it made a difference for anyone else. But I did notice labor was easier when my membranes hadn't ruptured or prematurely broken. With my first,...
Out of my five, only with my fifth did my water rupture prior to the onset of labor. Contractions began an hour or so later. I didn't find it much more...
