Just quick, cause its late here.

I love coda! It reminds me off Dakota fanning. I know its very different. But its original and special (i think that way bout dakota too) I see a very adorable little boy with white hair and big blue eyes.
I think its perfect.

Glad the bleeding stopped lala

Love your bumbs!
Crazy your cuty tiny

Thanks ladies! I keep trying to remember to enjoy it but when you can't even get out of bed sometimes it's hard to remember- lol.

Crazy we use (and I did) laughing gas here in Canada. Honestly during labour you still feel everything but it takes the edge off but really not that noticible!
I used it when I was getting stitched up and then I really felt it. It is instant and as soon as you pull it from your face it goes away so you are in control of how much to use it. One thing I didn't like was while I was using it for the pain during stitches, I almost felt myself fading away...I might have been being dramatic but everything went quiet and it kinda scared me a bit. Luckily I was with it enough to pull it away from my face at that point.
I think the nurses use it to get you to focus on your breathing more than anything. My husband had to tell me that it in fact helped me as I said I didn't feel anything and he was like 'oh nooo, it was def helping! ' lol

Thanks ladies :-). I love hearing positive feedback about the name... It's definitely growing on me.

Lala, your bump is so cute! It's amazing how everything gets harder the further along you get. Getting out of bed, getting the little ones dressed, etc. And so glad the bleeding was nothing serious!

Coocoo, that sounds about like what I read on it... That it relaxes you so the pain is more manageable, but it doesn't actually take it away. I've heard it also helps with anxiety, and can help to speed up a stalled labor too. Interesting stuff! I'm definitely going to ask about it, but it's nice that even if you get it and don't like it, there's nothing lasting about it.

Crazycat you are tiny! U look fab! And Lala I love ur bump, just gorgeous!
Crazy the bedding and wall decal is so cute! I think the name you guys have chosen is so great as it has such a special meaning.
I have never used gas, but my sister did & she said it was good. At one point she felt a bit queasy, so they turned the dose down and that subsided after a few minutes, but overall she said it was useful, and helped her knowing there was something 'extra' incase she needed it.

I didn't realise how much the gas worked until i didn't use it properly with ds3's birth (my hand holding the gas kept jerking the mouthpiece away from my face taking it out my mouth) whereas with ds2's birth it was it my mouth the entire time. It was the only pain relief i had for ds2 & ds3's births. It just makes it a bit fuzzier and gives a focus for your breathing x

Crazycat- let me know if your docs say they are using it. I'm super curious!

[Abifasc]

I'm interested in using laughing gas too. And I love the name Coda!

Abi u look absolutely gorgeous! Such a cute bump x

[sweetdream]

Your beautiful abi!

I'm not doing well.
Only 24 wks. I haven't had a moment yet were i felt ok. I have had severe pelvic pain. Just went to therapist. She can probebly help me. It's blocked and instable.
Its most likely the cause of my neck problems too.
I've cried a lot the past 2 days. I just need a break.
I can't handle any pain any more.
Hopefully this was the last til labor.

My mother is gonna help ,e with the household once a week. And hopefully DH can jump in some. But he's gotta work. (He's been home early and left late for three days now. )

I feel such a failure... I know i can't help it. But thats how i feel.
Enjoying babys movement a lot though.
