I had one with Ryan because of my age (35). Like you, I was nervous and agonized over the decision, but it turned out to really be no big deal. I had some uncomfortable cramping when the needle was inserted (I hate needles, so I closed my eyes when the doctor came in to do the procedure -- my...

Oh dean! Shanda, I certainly didn't intend to scare you! :( I'm so sorry -- I always hated those women who felt compelled to relate their grueling labor stories when I was pregnant with my first and not knowing what to expect! I certainly didn't mean to turn into one of them! My only...
