I am due on June 17th but my hunch is that I will go a little bit earlier.
I am meeting with an anesthesiologist and I plan to take the Bradley class that starts in a few weeks. The instructor has offered to be my doula.
So, hopefully I will have the bases covered - and then when I drag Tracy and Melissa and Allie along, they oughta keep the doctors up to date on my needs Posts: 589 | From Rhode Island | Registered: Jun 2006

Luvdogs,
Thanks for not minding me going off on my "treat us (women wanting to talk about Lyme and pregnancy) with respect or else" soapbox on your thread!
I was having a "moment" earlier..... Had to tell the world how I really felt!
Didn't mean to detract from the point of this thread which is your specific concerns...
I have actually had you on my mind lately, since my best friend is also pregnant (she is due in August), so when I think of her I think of you too....
So please continue to keep us posted along the way!
Are all those people all really going to be there when you give birth? WOW! That's great!

I am going to kidnap them all and make them be there!
I loved your soapbox... it is very true. We were talking about that very subject on chat tonight but, alas, you were not there with us - but our ears must have been ringing or vice versa!
I think about your friend also and I hope that she is doing well too.I hope that your friend is doing ok and keep me posted on her as well, ok?
I did not feel like you were detracting from my concerns at all! This is a thread for this subject as a whole - not just about me and my experience.

it's absolutely vital that this subject be allowed as much freedom of discussion and information as possible!
squashing that in any way is utterly absurd. i saw the same thing years ago here, hoosiers. tho, it was most definitely not the attitude of the majority of women here, a few turned it into a very sore subject. that was distressing to many.
yes, there have been complications due to lyme for mothers and babies in pregnancy.
however, it's clear that when mothers are educated and appropriately attentive to these concerns, all goes very well. which is precisely why it is critical that open support is available on the subject. doc j has seen huge successes time and time again when the situation is monitored with cognizance.
there are health concerns in any pregnancy, and many health conditions that require extra care.
so -- anybody else gets negative pm's on this subject, just forward them to me.
take extra special care of you, luvs. pamper yourself, learn all you can, get lots of rest and know that all will be well.
if you get stressed, share your questions here or on chat..there are many who can help, and you will be helping others as well.

Kidnap us???? HEH!!!
We didn't give her a choice. We fought like alley cats (no pun intended Allie) over who got to be there ..... and finally just decided we would ALL attend this birth!!!
She is going to have to have the doors padlocked to keep us out.
Nothing like three Lyme advocates there for you....oh boy......watch out!!!!

I am a member of PregLyme on Yahoo and it does work a bit different. I don't log onto a site like I do here on Lymnet. All posts come directly to my hotmail account. If I have a question or want to respond to a post I do it directly through my email. If you aren't getting lots of emails directly from PregLyme users go back and make sure you have your email address in the set up and that it's unblocked from your email account. I usually get a half dozen or so emails a day related to pregnancy and Lyme. I have really enjoyed that Yahoo group. I hope that it can be great for you too! Best of luck with everything. Sending great thoughts and prayers your way...
