I had looked at the clock. With #1 I pushed when the nurse told me to because I didn't know any better. I did not feel an urge to push. 3hrs and 45min later he was finally born. I couldn't sit down for two weeks and was miserable much longer. That might be the point I waited until the others were nearly crowning. That is most definitely the way to go! -- Nikki, mama to Hunter 4/99 Luke 4/01 Brock 4/06 Ben 4/06 |

Any secret recipes you'd like to share? Preferrably ones that don't involve 13 naked virgins dancing around me at midnight on a moonless night ;-) I have a cream. It's not really doing much. I don't want surgery now and end up having to do it all over again in about 14 weeks. cu nicole - Quasimodo meets Donald Duck. That's what I look like walking around. |

With #1 I was pushing from when I was told to for about 2 hours, and was in a lot of pain afterwards-and stitches. With #2 I pushed for more like 15 minutes, from when I was told to, and could have happily played tennis within a couple of hours later. It's called a second birth. Debbie |

I don't want surgery now and end up having to do it all over again in about 14 weeks. Hemorrhoids? Witch hazel on cotton balls works for me, as does a regular stool softener (I use colace & benefiber) to avoid the straining which causes them in the 1st place. I also got a prescription cream from the doc called Analpram HC that really helped a lot. When I'm in bad shape I drink coffee, Dunkin' Donuts is magic! cu nicole - Quasimodo meets Donald Duck. That's what I look like walking around. Sorry to hear that, hope you get some relief soon. |

It started last tuesday after a long "shopping trip" (clothes and books). I think it was the long periods of standing around and walking. I'm better today. I got a cream from a doc which... kind of helps, I think (it's really hard to tell because it does seem to need a few hours to start working). I also got some milky liquid from my midwife which, applied to cotton balls/cotton squares cools the area. Honestly, I've never been in so much pain from Hemorrhoids. Saturday I wanted to please be in labour instead because it would be a) less painfull and b) over at some point. Thanks for the tips, I'll try to get some witch hazel and see if that helps. cu nicole |

I have IBS so hemmies are a constant feature in my life whether I'm treating or avoiding them. Put an ice pack on there if they're that bad and take Tylenol or something else safe. It's a horrible pain. Pregnancy = constipation for me so I was projecting I guess :c) |
