When thinking about my favorite activities I have to say they are pretty wide spread. I like to relax and watch TV or read. I love to be outdoors when the weather is nice -- hiking, riding bikes, running, etc. Spending time with friends and family playing games or just talking is great also. I like to learn all there is to know about situations I am going to experience in the future, so I am ready for anything that may arise. I know this is impossible, but I like to think being prepared will help out!
Below is a list of topics I created that would fit into the above activities that I enjoy.
* Top movies that are a must watch before you die
* Starting a book club
* Plan the itinerary for a camping trip
* Options for controlling pain during child birth
* How to begin saving for your child's college
Virginia Rankin discusses the presearch process and states that one must think of questions that are of interest to the researcher, but also to others, which are called "workable questions"(Callison 38).
I think that the topic that I am most interested in at this time in my life is "Options for controlling pain during child birth". The past 6 months have been the most exciting yet scary time in my life. The closer I get to my due date the more being scared of the delivery is taking over. I feel choosing this topic will calm my nerves and make the exciting side move back into the forefront! There are many first time mothers out there that are probably feeling the same way. Hopefully the information I find will benefit them as well.

January, as an 80's Lamaze heroine (10 pound baby with no drugs), I can assure you there must be a better way to manage pain! It worked, I made it, but it was exhausting. I've also never really been certain that it was the Lamaze training itself, or the things I'd learned as a good distance runner.
ReplyDeleteWow. You picked a good topic. I am very interested in reading your discoveries, even though I am way past needing the information. I have two children and am stopping there. It isn't that I wouldn't love a hundered children, but I am very happy with the two I have and count my blessings every day. They satisfy all my motherly needs.
ReplyDeleteI will tell you from my experience...the first time I didn't want pain medicine and they had to give it to me, and the second time I wanted it, and they couldn't give it to me...the best pain medicine is to keep your eye on the prize. As soon as the baby is in your arms, you will feel nothing but overwhelming joy ;)
Testing.
