L & D

now i am studying labor and delivery
its exciting and scary all at the same time
i have made a list of why i want to have a c-section
1) your cervix gets stretched to at least 10 cm
2) your vagina gets stretched even bigger, and never quite returns to normal
3) you may have an episiotomy - which is a surgical incision in the perineum, but it can then tear and even lacerate into the sphincter of your rectum, which then can lead to life long problems with not being able to control pooping
4) after the birth, your vagina is checked all the time for hematoma, imagine having a blood filled bruisey sack in your labia
5) and finally you get hemorrhoids

i dunno about the vaginal birth, i think ill need a midwife and an epidural


on another note me and jr's house buying has come to a hault b/c we need at least $6000 saved, i dunno about anyone else, but ive never ever ever had that much saved, so we are gonna rent for awhile, get married and hope that all our friends give us lots of money

nothing else is new, other than i have been trying to go to the gym a lot, and cath keeps canceling on me, she has not been being a good workout partner.
