Hi! I would love to attend this event!
My pregnancy was pretty uneventful – except I had to do it alone. I was in the Navy stationed in Japan when I found out I was pregnant. I was given the option to stay there or come home to California. I wanted to be closer to my family, so I chose the latter.
My first pregnancy was easy up to the labor and delivery. Dr. said during my due date that I was not even dilated 🙁 Family members flew into town and MIL (aka Grandma) told my DS (pointing to the belly) that you'd better show up tonight because I'm leaving town in 3 days!! Sure enough, water barely leaked that evening (guessed he heard & responded). After a soak in the tub and a run to Jack in the box to stuff my belly at 3 am, I arrived at the hospital to realize that my water was not fully ruptured. Dr. ruptured it for me. Then I was given pictocin because I wasn't dilated. Darn, that's strong stuff!! Contractions came every minute towards the end!!! 16 hrs later with no progress after 7 cm and no epidural, they told me I had to have a c-section! I said no!!! I didn't read that section of “What to expect when you're expecting!” So the epidural came after enduring 16 hrs of pain (thinking i'm having this baby naturally) and I thought, damn…all that work for nothing! I ended up with a c-section 18 hrs later and seeing and holding my beautiful boy made it all worth while!
My pregnancy was a breeze. Those 9 joyous months just FLEW by with daily yoga, healthy foods, and stress-relieving massages. I actually LOST 12 pounds! And the birth was so easy…that kid just hopped right on outta there!
Oh wait. I don't have kids. That's my dream pregnancy. Made you all jealous though, didn't I? 🙂
You're a winner!!! Instructions for your tickets will be e-mailed! Thanks!
OUCH! Is about the only thing I can think of. Now, you'll have sometime for yourself to realx, unwind and make some friends! Congrats on winning these tix!
OK, but it's good practice to imagine this positive and calm pregnancy, right? You still won the tickets and will have to endure listening to many a birthing story at Mamafest! Hopefully, you'll still want to have kids after hearing them. Ha!
Oh boy. Mine was only a day late, but complications made it tough. Spent a full week in the hospital.
Well, this earned you a pair of tickets to Mamafest!! See you there so you can tell me about your week-long stay in the hospital!
I'm pregnant with our first baby and I've had 2 dreams that it was a girl and the labor was peaceful and calm and she just kinda came out. And no pain!!!
I hope that dream comes true in September =)
I'm sorry I wasn't able to login with my contact info… my email is rose.malihan at gmail.com
Hi Rose,
Congratulations on your first pregnancy! You've won a pairof tickets to Mamafest too! Hope you enjoy the time there.
My best story was our third. My wife and I where back from Disney, she was brushing her teeth and had started to gag a little bit. She looked at me knowingly, I shrugged, said it must have been the mouse. Three pregnancy tests later, but we didn't believe the first two, we were on the phone “spreading the news” – wouldn't give up that little dudetter for anything but she was a shock!
