I've had four pregnancies, three deliveries, one was a c-section under general anesthesia, and no v* with any of them. I had pretty bad N* from morning sickness from when I was about 8weeks along and it lasted until I was 14 weeks along, especially when I was pg for my boys (for whatever reason) but not as much with my daughter. I also had some n* from the meds they gave me when I had my miscarriage, but I now know I should have asked for an anti-emetic. My last delivery was an unplanned c-section and it all happened when I was fully dilated and I about freaked out right there in the delivery room. I was a mess because I was so afraid I would v* from it. I made about 5 nurses and 2 doctors promise on a stack of Bibles they'd keep pumping me full of the anti-emetic phenergan (LOL!). Then they had to knock me out because I was hemmorhaging and I think the last thing I said as I went out was again "Make sure there's phenergan in that IV!" Not, "Gee, could you please stop me from bleeding to death." LOL!!!!


As far as dealing with my kids v*, I just take it one episode at a time, knowing that this, too, shall pass. The kids haven't flown yet (we're going for our first plane trip in March with them so I'm hoping all goes well). We do travel a lot by car and one time we went on a three week vacation out west, to Yellowstone, and my 2-year-old v* all over himself in the backseat somewhere in South Dakota. It turned out he had strep throat. At the time I was quite a mess, but now we laugh about it!


I just got over a sv, and I didn't get it from them! So far they are healthy. So either I can pat myself on the back for keeping the house squeaky clean or feel ashamed of my poor hygiene that I actually caught one that isn't easily spread! LOL!!


Randy, what did they give you to pass the afterbirth? Pitocin? I think I had that and it didn't make me v*. Did they give you the opportunity to refuse it? Just curious
