EPIDURAL

I was on the edge with deciding if I want an epidural so I started a post on it on babycenter.com at first I was calmed down and though maybe I'll have one. Now, I don't think I could stand it! I hate having IV's or catheters I hate the idea of a tube being inside me. A TUBE IN MY SPINE NO! I don't like the idea at all and definitely don't like the 1 in 1,000 for temporary damage and 1 in 13,000 for permanent is way to high for my comfort! I got some reassuring messages that going natural will hurt but having a full range of motion is better. Also recovering times seem to be faster going naturally. Most women said their labour was shorter without the epidural so I'm pretty convinced I don't want it. BUT in the end we will see if I can handle the pain come December. Until then I will workout the muscles I need to so I can avoid an epidural the best I can. Maybe they will let me get high instead LMAO JK

Morning sickness

I have been lucky to spend my 9 weeks pregnant without morning sickness. That being throwing up, I have been nauseous to prevent getting sick I have been drinking ginger and peppermint tea. Using only fresh and organic material. On top of this tea I make sure i drink plenty of water especially before bed so when i wake up in the morning I don't get lightheaded. Avoiding the lightheadedness makes the transition from nonmotion to activity easier on my body making me less likely to get morning sickness as well as having a time everyday when I work out with pregnancy friendly exercises using the the Oh Baby! App for iPhones. Eating a healthy diet where I avoid greasy and spicy foods also helps. My favorite dish right now is a nice green salad with lime and a little sea salt instead of dressing. I hope this helps you out and feel free to follow me for other tips I find helpful as I enjoy my first pregnancy! Thank you for your time <3
