That would have been funny! Or if you were hypnotized to keep cycling and never got off!

What kind of crazy literature was that? Speaking of crazy, I was flipping through the channels last night and was horrified to see the video of one of the Kardashian girls giving birth.

But then I was strangely intrigued.

Missy that would be awesome. Getting a work out and not even knowing it :).

Burt it is very hard to keep up with the Kardashians. :)

Are you doing a hypno-birth?

From Merri on Sun, Mar 07, 2010 at 17:57:53 from 160.7.252.148

Lyns byns, I am looking into it and the bradley method. I didn't have a good experience w/ my epidural with Carson, so I'm trying some different methods. :) Wes' sister has delivered 4 of her kids with a combo of both the Bradley method & hypno birthing methods. She said if I can run a marathon I can give birth naturally. :) so we shall see...

Wow! You go girl! .... If you are comparing a marathon to natural labor - I don't think I'm running a marathon ;)

From Merri on Mon, Mar 08, 2010 at 16:58:13 from 160.7.252.148

ha ha ha no not at all. she just said a marathon takes a lot of time and patience and will power. And if I was determined enough to train for and run that, then I can do this. :) positive thinking...positive thinking... :)

Merri I am logged on as Desi, but it's me ali. Natural birth isn't bad at all. Your recovery time is so much faster as well. I would agree that if you can do a marathon you can give birth naturally! I'll support you 100%. Keep up the good workouts woman.

From Merri on Mon, Mar 08, 2010 at 17:49:21 from 160.7.252.148

Thanks Ali! Did you have all of your kiddos naturally? And what method did you use?

From Chocolate Turtle on Mon, Mar 08, 2010 at 19:07:50 from 67.199.177.16

merri 3 out of my 4 were natural. I did the "just survive it method". It is painful but there is something about doing it without drugs that just can't be explained. I did have a neighbor do the hipno birthing thing and she loved it!
