I am 24 and due to have my second baby in January (17 weeks). I'm not as nervous this time after having my daughter this last January. I did have an epidural, and it was very nice. I almost made it without having to have one though and I do kind of regret not having the will power to stick it through. I look back now and I know it was painful, but I think this time I could do it without. Last time I had just my husband with me, and it was so exciting. This time my mama wants to be there, and I am growing more and more excited about the whole idea. I know that through it all I can rely on the two of them to help me out and get through it. We find out the sex in a couple weeks and I am so excited. I can't wait to tell Rose she's having a little brother or sister. Of course her being only seven months old I know she won't really get it, but I love that we have such a sweet little family. Good luck to all! Happy pregnancies and healthy births and babies to you!

Yeah! I am 24 and this is my husband and my 2nd kid-o. My son is 4. We haven't told him yet because I am only about 5 weeks, and we thihnk it is too early. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to tell the elder sibling? Any help would be so much appreciated!

Im almost at the end of my pregnancy. YAY Ive loved having my little girl growing inside me but shes gotten very big and long and Im terribly uncomfortable. I had to have surgery during my pregnancy and had a spine block done for anesthesia. I must let those of you know an epidural isnt as painful as you think they usually give you a little shot to numb you before hand and thats just a lil stick and a lil burn the rest is a breeze. So if any of you have to have one dont be afraid its not that bad at all I promise. Much luck and healthy babies to all

I am 25 and this is my first baby. I am in my 10th week and am extremely worried about my delivery though its too early to be so worried. I am fat and so want to know if water birth is the best way for me to deliver my baby.
