Answers or How did I miss OTHER questions? :P

Have you had strangers coming up to you and trying to pat your pregnant belly?
Have you missed me these last 2 Fridays? :)
Scrappy:
No one has pat my belly yet, but I'm sure it's because I just look like I'm fat! ;) Really, I just had my mom feel it this week....so no weird people feeling me up!
And where HAVE you been?? I have missed you!

Are you still having contractions or have they stopped?
~Jewelle
Jewelle:
Still having them, although they're not TOO bad. I even went in for my second NST this week, and they didn't detect any! *phew* Steve thought for SURE that I was going to have a baby last night! :D
(For those who DON'T know, I was having all sorts of contractions for about 30 minutes last night. I kept having them on and off, but nothing really bad. I'm sure it's just those Braxton Hicks Contractions I've heard about. The only REAL problem I'm having is that sometimes my contractions will bother me enough that I get a severe back-ache....otherwise, no problems!)

Even though you're a c/s mom, have you packed your hospital bag yet, for "just in case"?
Plus, how many times did you have to get up last night to go potty?
Carrie:
Uh, no packing of the bag yet...although, it's been on my mind a LOT lately (especially when I was having contractions for a half hour last week!) I just don't remember what kinds of things to PACK! :P
Five times....I think! :P

Okay- I suck, a thought just hit me-- why is it you have to schedule a c-section? I know it's personal, but I was curious... I've only had 2 close friends have c-sec, one was an emergency one afte rmany hours of labor- the other, her doc let her decide how she wante dto deliver, and she had no desire to experience labor. :)
e being nosey... feel free to tell me to shut up.

You're not nosy!! :)
I'm having a c/s because I had one with Cameron.
With that boy, I was in labor for 23 hours and felt NO contractions, and no labor pains. (Don't feel jealous....it ended up with me HAVING to have a c/s.) My blood pressure instantly dropped when the doctor had me get the epidural, and that initiated an emergency c/s, because they lost Cam's heartbeat. In the end they got it back before delivery, but still did the c/s because I was NOT progressing.
All that ever came down of the child was the skin on the top of his head. (My mom and husband told me that he had a point on top for a while.)
After that, we asked my doctor whether I HAD to do c/s for every child I had after or if I could try for a VBAC. He said, we COULD try, but would most likely end up having a c/s anyway. So I've just planned on having all of my children c/s. (Plus, my doctor told me recently that the baby is now SO big, that "it's a good thing you're doing c-sections!")
