Even though it is your 3rd baby and you are a tiny lady, your labor could still be long because you elected for induction and you could end up pushing for over 2 hours to find that your baby is OP (upside down) and 9 lbs 8 oz.
I totally agree -- I have countless stories of women begging for the epidural right as she goes to complete or as the baby is crowning. You just never know what's going to happen. :) How are you liking L&D so far?
Bytheway - I love the Labor and Delivery Nurses Only! link you have. I went through and read them all a while ago and they are so funny! L&D is a happenin place to work.
I couldn't agree more!!! these ladies that don't get epidurals i think are just plain crazy!!!! i joke with the girls here that I have my epidural consent signed and ready to go, and if for some reason I become unconscious they should act on my behalf and elect to get one for me!!!!
Jeff and I have been married since August 2005. We graduated in electrical engineering and nursing in 2007 and moved to Arizona for more schooling at ASU. We both graduated again in December 2008 with a Master's in engineering and a BSN. We have enjoyed building a new home, fixing it up and advancing our careers. Nothing has proven to be better that being parents! We love our little 'Stinky Pete' to pieces!!!

Ouch! I'm jealous of your job, hopefully someday I can try that out. Your house looks great!
