I'm a nurse and have had doctors reschedule surgeries because the parents gave their kids gum to chew and lollipops to suck on. You would think that because you don't swallow the gum or because the lollipop is so small it wouldn't make a difference but it does! Both cause more saliva and also cause your stomach to produce more acid. Just a thought...not to burst your bubble...<br />Thanks for the wipes recipe! I've been wanting to try to make my own wipes!Jamie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03354890851377994905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421475838864238344.post-76003805699479873322010-03-02T22:58:42.603-07:002010-03-02T22:58:42.603-07:00no water?!! crazy!no water?!! crazy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421475838864238344.post-44445787893581022942010-03-02T22:33:05.030-07:002010-03-02T22:33:05.030-07:00Oh Jenny, that list made me so excited!

Come on girl, it IS e-ssent-tial!! You should have some to nibble on once your out of labor and delivery and in your hospital room. <br /><br />Also, didn't see the "notify list". Is it on your computer? You know, the names and phone numbers of whom you want to make sure you personnally notify.<br /><br />I wish you a speedy low pain delivery!!!Cheryl B.http://thebzhousethatlovebuilt.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421475838864238344.post-23212561300232962282010-03-01T10:17:28.836-07:002010-03-01T10:17:28.836-07:00This is my first time entering my link in this!

I was soooo glad for friends who brought food, but still wanted the trailmix in my suitcase in the middle of the night. Labor is hungry work! Man, I've never been hungry like that.

And lollipops...hmmm. I never thought of that. I don't see why that would be a problem.

Which, you know, is fine for me, but not for a lot of people. <br /><br />So glad that he's going to let you move around!

Yes, I will have an IV, and the doc said I will be able to walk around. That does help so much! I guess his concern is that in the event of me needing an emergency c-section, which is much more likely with a VBAC, my stomach needs to be empty. Honestly, I really do feel grateful that he's letting me try a VBAC at all. I know in the states it is really hard to find a doctor who will.Mom2my10 @ 11th Heavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14813012011182498512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421475838864238344.post-62361648735077001922010-03-01T07:01:18.884-07:002010-03-01T07:01:18.884-07:00No water?

Well, I hope you're able to get up and move around some. That can really help speed things along.roadrunner201https://www.blogger.com/profile/06108866769358292786noreply@blogger.com
