Em: I am so glad to be able to share my pregnancy experience. I was 8-10 weeks pregnant and saw Dr. Swank for the first time. He said 'you will do fine, that baby will be pushed out automatically by your body whether you take Lamaz classes or not. The difficulty will come when raising the child.' HE WAS RIGHT! So Right! I stayed on Diet because I knew it was a choice to live or die. Didn't even want to cheat. Well maybe that isn't completely true. It has been 18 years. But, when it comes to your baby and your life, you have to have discipline. You have a choice. That is the greatest gift out of all of 'this.' You have a choice to buy in to 'living' or let go. I also received 2 Units of Fresh frozen Plasma after delivery since Dr. Swank found that after a major surgery or childbirth, our bodies were 'spent' and we needed the boost of FFP. He was and is right. Write again if I can answer any questions.
