Also aside from all the other people privacy and stuff you need to remember that Im getting all this care for free. This is why everything is bare min, but as Leah also noted the nurses and doctors are all competent and know what they are doing. To be honest women do this kind of thing all the time all over the world and we are quite spoiled in the US as far as our birthing choices go. Its a good thing for sure but its time I accept that I live in Mexico and on a peso income. ;)<br />Wonderfull life- read Leahs comment. Its kinda how they did things back in the 50´s in the states before people started going on about patient rights and such. ;) I really do understand why they have the rules Im just nervous.<br />Leah- I love the ear plug idea. Im pretty sure I can keep myself in check but I had actually thought about how much harder it will be with other women who are not sitting around me. I kind of wondered if there would be a lot of screaming. From what Iv seen Mexican women are very stoic and rarely cry and scream out loud, but labor is a whole new story. <br />Anon your right on (and people like you are why I will never block all anon comments) Along with the idea Leah had of bringing something personal I plan to bring with me a slip of paper with prayers and verses for me to look at if IM able. And I my husband and I have been praying and Im sure when my mom comes she will pray with us also. <br />Hope I cleared up all the questions if not write back, and thanks all for the encouragement. ;)bordersasidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142674938117338592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-81075500810228067092010-08-03T09:31:10.785-07:002010-08-03T09:31:10.785-07:00Don't worry about the labor pain... I am sure ...Don't worry about the labor pain... I am sure you know the "Pain cycle" ...the more you fear the tighter your body gets and the more pain you experience. You gotta let those muscles go! It's all in God's hands. My last birth, I just kept offering my suffering as sacrifice and I got through the whole thing med-free. After the fact...it is by far the most-empowering feeling, I think, a woman can experience in her body. Begin saying extra prayers together as a family to prepare you for this incredible event.

There's a lack of space and I suppose they don't want wandering eyes of family to check out the other exposed laboring women. The doctors at the seguro can be very good, but not always forthcoming with patient information or giving you choices. My SIL works in Pediatrics at a seguro in Veracruz, so I've seen enough of that Maternity Ward (right next door) to know that it will be the last resort for me (if we have children).<br /><br />The best thing I can tell Amanda is to take something familiar to you, (a cross, picture, stress ball), etc. Family isn't allowed in and support is very minimal until the baby's out, also the screams can be intense, maybe take earplugs. I do not want to scare you, just want you to know what to expect (might be different there, too.)<br /><br />The good news is, no matter what the room situation is or how the birth goes, seguros have very competent doctors and nearly all the babies born there leave the hospital healthy. Dealing with the birth process in a less-than ideal way will be the biggest challenge, and that hopefully won't last long. <br /><br />Stay at home as long as possible, amiga. You will be fine. :-)One Small Vozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966486789164013039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-16572685064037108452010-08-03T06:16:01.196-07:002010-08-03T06:16:01.196-07:00What do you mean no one is allowed in the room at ...What do you mean no one is allowed in the room at birth?

I don't normally do pain meds but I'm with you on the staying home as long as possible. I've had three girls now and I don't listen to anyone when it comes to their care. During my last daughter's delivery, she wanted to sleep a lot and one nurse started smacking her bottom to wake her up and I flipped out. Nobody knows how to take care of a baby like their momma. Not speaking fluent spanish is going to be harder for you as well. If I was closer, I'd go down and fight for ya.Krystal L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15605269346653999829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-45031070519560809522010-08-02T18:04:47.039-07:002010-08-02T18:04:47.039-07:00sounds like the baby may be a surprise afterall.
