I’m quite sick of being ‘morning sick’ and then STARVING after 3pm. I make myself eat in the morning, (though I tend to wish I hadn’t), and then spend the rest of the morning either back asleep or holding everything back; It’s quite disgusting.

Overall, I would say he is hesitantly supportive of my VBAC. He said he’s all for letting me try, but he can p ...
Last week we meet with one of the nurse educators at the OB offices we’ve chosen. Actually, like many things in life, we just plowed ahead based on a recommendation.
