We had our fifth doctor's appointment on Tuesday July 27th. Everything is good, his heartbeat is strong. My doctor alleviated all my fears that I had after being present at the birth of my nephew Xavier. Being on seizure meds I was concerned about whether he might go through withdrawals once he was born. I was also concerned about what would happen if I had a seizure while giving birth. He assured me that was something I didn't need to worry about. He quickly squelched my fears about having a seizure too by reassuring me because my seizures are well controlled he doesn't anticipate that happening, but if it does what he would do.
I then asked him about what might happen if I tear, Erin did poor thing and is sore and has been in pain for weeks. My Doctor said that there are different degrees of tearing and it is likely because Carson is my first that there will be tearing, but the degree to which Erin tore is highly unlikely. Congrats Er on being the one in two that tears that badly. Baby Xavier is worth it I'm sure.
18 weeks from now I will have my son in my life, where did the time go?
Now my fears are only school related, anyone willing to reassure me in that aspect?

18 weeks!!! That's soooo crazy! can't wait to meet the little guy! Glad all is going well and that your doctor could calm your fears!
keegal exercoses help reduce tearing. Also, if you dont sit up after you are stitched up, it doesnt hurt as bad. With Cardon I tore. They made me sit up, on ice! ti was horrid, then all I did after that waas sit. with Kaliya when I tore my midwife told me not to sit at all until I was not hurting. well DUH! So I didnt, and I healed MUCH fster! sorry, typing with a wrist brace on...
