And another question.  I assume because it's surgery there will be antibiotics involved.  I got lucky with my first and didn't have any yeast issues but I don't want to count on that this time.  I already take a 4...

So, I haven't gotten my official preparation information from my doctor.  I assume we'll discuss all that on Monday, but I'm wondering about the fasting beforehand.  It appears to vary from place to place.  My surgery is...

It's really funny.  When I thought the baby could come any moment, I was very Zen and at peace with everything.  Now that I know what day it will be (most likely anyway), I'm running around like crazy and feeling like there...

You know, I've heard that term "fistula" before but I have no idea what it is.  I'm thinking I may not want to know!

I'm really glad to have this DDC.  I don't know how I'd be coping with this stuff mentally without you guys.  I'm going to look more into the gentle cesarean birth plan stuff I've heard about.  Mostly for me it will be...
