I have been where you are. Don't ever talk bad about him to the child. Believe me she will form her own opinion of him and his fatherhood or lack there of. You just be the best mother you can be and pray for God to fill the father void in your child's life. My ex husband did me dirty. and it took him over four years to finally apologize and admitt what an asshole he is how he realizes how much he hurt his two children. And by this time, I'm remarried with a new son. And now we have another on the way. Keep your head up. This too shall pass. Don’t try and force the relationship between the baby and the father.

I read some of your recent entries and it brought back a lot of memories for me. Good luck with "single Momhood" and know that, however hard it gets, that there are many, many women in the shadows, ready to give support, advice, and a shoulder to cry on.

I felt kicked in the gut right from her opening lines: Divorced and… selfish?

I was surprised to find out how little you can move with an epidural, and right now I think the lack of movement would bother me, but I'm sure things will change once I'm actually in the middle of labor. In last night's class we watched birthing videos, and in one of them it was comical how fast one of the women signed the consent forms to receive an epidural. I was also very glad to find out the doctors and midwives in the practice I'm going to will give you an epidural right up till when you start pushing. I remember one of my friends lost out on getting an epidural because she didn't ask for one till she was dialated too far. (But that was 10 or 11 years ago so I guess things have changed.)

Why don't you do the jacuzzi at the beginning, when the contractions are still somewhat bearable? Then, once in, you can decide what to do from there. Yeah, once you have the epi, there is no moving. At all. It's not bad, though. Kind of weird not being able to move, but by that point I was happy to have it (both times.) Good luck! You can do it! Well, you could do both.
