Birthing Experience

Eight years ago I gave birth to my son Allen.  I had to have a c-section because my son was breech.  I had a wonderful doctor, Dr. Faizon.  His bedside manner was the key to getting me through this experience.  My husband was in the AirForce and he was stationed overseas during my whole pregnancy.  He was allowed to return to the states for 30 days.  He arrived at the hospital 3 hours before our son was born.  I remember my husband coming into the hospital room minutes after I was given an epidural.  I told him that he missed out on all of the fun.  When I was a teenager, I had my appendix removed.  My appendix surgery was more painful than my c-section.  The previous surgery prepared me for my post-pardom recovery.  I believe that my positive attitude throughout my pregnancy and wonderful doctor impacted my child's birth and development.  My son Allen has a wonderful personality and he was a wonderful baby.  When he was a baby, he rarely cried unless he was wet or hungry.  He was always happy and smiling.  Now that I am due to give birth in a few days, I remembered to have a positive attitude throughout this pregnancy.  I would love for my daughter to have the same disposition as her older brother.
