Baby's birthday same as Gisele's? That's some serious karma pay-back. Poor Tom, he'll either be a sucky dad or a sucky BF.

bf who pays more attention to his son then gf on his son/gf's shared birthdya is not a sucky bf, provided he pays proper attention the day before or after… but the reverse is not true.

I'm sure Gisele's irrational lil' mind has Bridget scheming to have the baby on her birthday.

Yeah, whatever.

Gisele sounds like a selfish bitch.

Only 10% of women have their kid on their due date (I only know this because I'm newly pregnant myself and have been doing a lot of reading). Unless Bridget has a planned C-section on Friday, Gisele is simply an idiot.

Actually Bridget would be in idiot NOT to have the C-section on Fri ;-) Karma sucks!

BA - I can appreciate the humor in your post, but I also don't think 6 months of recovery would be worth sticking it to the ex's new woman.

According to some other articles I've read, it says the birth date is SET for Friday the 20th, not that her due date is the 20th. Which makes it sound like she's a planned c-section or is being induced for some reason. Not that being induced guarantees a birth that same day.

I'd totally take a c-section over vaginal birth any day. I've had two of each and recovered FAR faster from the c-section.

Well tlatzteotl I'm guessing you've never been spurned :-( Agree to disagree!

is it really 6 months of recovery? cuz its like 2 months for a hystorectomy.. which would be far worse i would think..

It's generally 6-8 weeks.

*Please note that I said generally, some (like me) can have much easier recoveries and some can have much worse.

OK, guys? Remember that whole you're-making-me-scared-to-have-kids thing from the poop thread?

::sigh::

*lol* Sorry.

Seriously, though. LOVED my c-sections. You couldn't pay me to ever attempt a VBAC/VBA2C.

what the heck do those things mean??

sorry cait. all i can think is "thank god i am 10 years away from this"

I'm maybe 2-3 years away…after reading Kitchy's admonitions, I think it's closer to 3 now. ::grin::

VBAC means vaginal birth after cesearan. I would guess the VBA2C means vaginal birth after 2 cesearans? And just to throw my two cents in, I didn't take six months to recover from my c-section either, but I would think it was longer than the six to eight weeks. Although I had twins, and had been on bedrest for three months prior to the birth, so maybe my body took longer to bounce back.

And I hope Bridget has the baby on Friday…what an awesome way to stick it to Gisele. For as long as they are together, she will never have her birthday all to herself, but will have to share it with her BF's ex and child. Karma is a bitch, huh?

Believe me, stuff like crapping on the table is no big deal whatsoever. You probably won't even know you do it unless you take time to ask.

I'm not admonishing anyone. ;) I wouldn't have given birth 4 times if I thought it was so awful.

The one I have a tough come coming to terms with is the epidural…long ass needle or no pain? I think I will be torn between the two options if/when I'm ever preggo.

I never felt the epidural go in. Although an epidural isn't a needle, it's a catheder. ;) Did I spell that right?

Close enough, Kitchy! :-) Good to know.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Should I talk about the real long-ass needle that goes with a spinal injection? ;)

So anyway. Bridget's having the baby on Gisele's birthday, huh? Good for her.

I missed a lot while I was lunch! I read about the 6 months recovery thing in a book I picked up that had loads of good reviews from doctors and pregnancy organizations. I've only known for a week and a half, so I haven't had time to read more than 1/4 of that one book, and I do plan to read others when I'm done with that one.

I don't think I'll be doing the epidural, regardless of how much pain I'm in. I went to the chiropractor for 2 years (although it's been about 5 since I quit going) because of problems in my lower back, and I don't relish the thought of a tube being stuck into my spine. I also haven't read very good things about what drugs do to the infant.

So, I'll be doing a lot of walking. It's what I should have been doing for my back all this time, and of course it's supposed to help reduce the amount of time you spend in labor and recovery.

I had the spinal injection, and I hated that part!

Kitchy: the new form of birth control/abstinence, right here on Mollygood. Performing daily.

I do what I can.

I won't get into a debate on natural childbirth/epidurals. (Not that I think anyone's asking for one.) I think it's all up to what you're comfortable with and what you want to do. I was very comfortable with the epidurals and spinals. I think however you give birth, it's wonderful.

Yeah wonderfully poopy.

Not with a c-section. ;)

im having my babies like the good lord intented… drugged the fuck up

*lol*

Women, I love and respect you all, and yes, I am a father. Now that I said that, THANK GOD I AM A MAN.

Yeah, I had an epidural both times. The first one, I was so numb afterward, I had to be rolled onto my recovery bed, because I couldn't stand up. Awful. The second time, I had my epidural finally at 3:45pm and my daughter was born at 4:26pm. Which means, I wasn't even numb at all for the labor part, but that I was totally numb afterward.

That said, I would still have an epidural again, because the pain was like a water buffalo running through the eye of a needle. God bless the chicks that do it natural.

See, it's my other half, helping me control the child population around here.

April @ 30, that's hilarious! :-) I would imagine it's a very personal thing, the epidural. Aaaaaaanyways, how about that Gisele? Butterface or not?

Hey, Kitchy! Just doing my job…

I think Gisele is more of a horseface than a true buttaface. Like in the Sarah Jessica Parker range. When I think buttaface, I think Tori Spelling.

I think Gisele's gorgeous from head to toe, she just seems like a babbling selfish idiot bitch.

her face is ok. i feel like its no better or worse than mine, which is really noting too special, or most women you see on the street. i dont think her horsey or ugly just nothin' special… but her body.. wa-bam. its unbelieveable.

she just seems like such a self centered jerk (although she has her moments, like her birth control comments). BUT keep in mind she dated leo forever and he seems like a smart, caring person (operative word there is seems) so maybe shes just got a bad rep

April that's kinda how I feel too…G's body is incredible but sometimes I think MY face is better than hers. Now if only Victoria's Secret would hire size 8s…sigh.

I've always thought Leo was gay.

I think Leo's in the Clooney Club too.

Oh hell yes. If Leo and Clooney have never dated, my name's not Kitchy.

Oh wait. My actual legal name isn't. But still, they're totally hangin' with Travolta.

And Tom Cruise (allegedly).

leo is a sox fan, so im a leo fan. its pretty simple.

as for his sexuality… i dont care.. hes pretty, smart, and cares for the environment… he could like goats and i wouldnt care… or powertools

But if he is into the little people, it's peace out Leo!

April, if you had a choice between a threesome with Leo and a midget or going home alone to your Silver Bullet, which would you choose?

silver bullet - in a heart beat… although thinking about leo i might up the anti to something a little stronger

"It's like 2 in the morning! Who's got their weedwacker going at this hour??"

"No that's just April next door. Must be thinking of Leo again."

*lol*

I'd take the midget and the Silver Bullet ;-) But I'd ante up for some Clooney or C.Bale

Dear Jeebus this blog is naughty today! Like a regular WWTDD comment thread in here (but smarter and sexier than those tools for sure)

I love WWTTD. Hehe…

I told my boyfriend that I'm going to be drugged up and cussing him out for putting me in the godawful birthing situation. Four letter words, they'll be a-flyin'!
