The Calm Before the Storm

I could really use a nap right now

Mood: irratated
Listening to: Green Day- Welcome to Paradise

Ugh, the nausea has been pretty bad this week. I've puked twice this week and once was this morning.  That sucked. 

Went to the doctor yesterday.  I had to fill out a CRAPLOAD of paperwork and such so I can get health insurance.  I had to have blood drawn.  That blew massive squirrel ass.  I had to be stuck twice because I have shitty veins.  It wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't draped the thin tube that carried the blood to the test tubes across my arm where I could still feel the warmth of my blood.  I damn near passed out. 

I talked with the nurse about me having a C-section and they told me it would only be as a last resort.  I was NOT happy.  I want a C-section.  Y'all have to realize that I am only 4 foot 11 and I only weigh 101 pounds.  I'm a tiny thing.  Trying to pass a fully-developed baby would tear me up and quite frankly, I don't want to be in intense pain for 20 hours and then the doc's like "well, OK Now we'll do a C-section" .  Stephen doesn't want to see me go through that kind of pain either.  He's delievered 3 babies (none of them his own) into this world as an EMT and he has seen what natural childbirth does to a woman.  Everyone thinks I'm fucking crazy for wanting a C-section.  They tell me that I'm not a good mother if I just have it C-Section.  My response is, "What the fuck? It's my body, my baby, and my choice".  Ugh, ignorant people piss me off!

What possible difference could it make in what kind of mother you are if you have a C-section as opposed to \"natural\" childbirth? I read an article not long ago which said the growing trend is toward C-sections. Do what makes YOU feel best about the whole process. Others can butt out. :)
