This month we are discussing “The Last Lecture” by Randy Pausch. “...the lecture he gave ... was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because “time is all you have…and you may find one day that you have less than you think”). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living.” Monday is Book Club day; Tuesday Guest Blog and Friday Cancer News Roundup. Also check out Cancer Blog Links containing almost 200 blog links and Cancer Resources with 230 referenced sites, both divided into disease categories.

The doctor broke my water at 8 AM and by 9 PM I had only dialated 2 cms more than I was that morning. That is 13 hours of oxytocin (most of which was a higher dosage than he liked to give in an attempt to speed up the process because I was obviously not able to eat that entire time) and very little progress. The doctor gave me the option of a C-section due to his increased concern for my ability to push when the need arose (if it ever did). He told me that I would have until 10 PM to make the decision and if I hadn't made it by then, he would make it for me. My son was born at 10:15 PM that night. I agree that C-sections aren't the way to go unless they are deemed necessary. Like I said, I was only 6 days before my due date and my son and I still had to stay in the hospital until the Wednesday after his birth (which was on Sunday). The pediatrician was concerned about his jaundice and the fact that he continued to spit up mucus which was making him get choked up. I was scared to death to come home because I just knew he would get choked in the middle of the night and I wouldn't know about it. I didn't sleep well for days. The doctor said that this mucus was due to the C-section. He said that my son wasn't able to get it up like he would have been able to if I had him naturally. When they go through the birth canal, the "tight squeeze" forces most of the mucus out of their chest and it poses no major issues. Since this was not the case with him, he had problems with it for about a week after birth. I'm happy with the way things worked out (my OB/GYN said after my son was born that there was no way that I could have had him naturally. At 9 lbs and 5 oz, he was too big for my tiny frame) but I wouldn't have even considered a C-section if I thought it posed a danger to my son. She is right, do the research before you go in because I honestly didn't. I assumed what every new mother would assume. I thought I would have him naturally and there would be no problems but certain instances do arise when C-sections may become necessary so be prepared and be informed, if not for yourself then do it for your child...
