Wrig when is it scheduled? Will you just get a c section if you go into labor? How exciting though!!!
 
I'm so excited for everyone! And I'm jealous, haha! Why do my kids like to stay in there SO long? My first was a scheduled C-section the day before my due date (no signs of labour at all), second was six days late! And I'm counting down to Monday for this one!! I hope she at least comes on time :)
 
I can't wait to see more beautiful babies make their entrance ladies :cloud9:.
 
@MissMarpleFan tomorrow sometime from what they've been saying. I miss my baby girls so much, so I'm really excited to see them and introduce them to their new little brother. My ex the father of my two girls, his girlfriend was pregnant the same time as me and she might be going into labor within the next couple of days. It's her first baby and he's already overdue.

Wow, so they're getting 2 brothers at once!
 
So one of the nurses today told me I should only be feeding him every 3 hours and not on demand.... I'm just really confused as to why she would tell me that. She said it's because it's what they're recommending for everyone.....
 
My baby girl arrived this morning at 8:51 am! I'm sore, but doing alright. My baby is having some congestion issues, but she's doing well otherwise. Her blood sugars have been steadily climbing, so I'm happy that the GD didn't seem to affect her too much.

Congrats Madtown, she’s adorable! Yes, what’s her name? I love hearing baby names and learning why people chose them.

Kiwi - that’s annoying! With my first I was told to feed on demand first and then if she goes past 3 hours without demanding, then default to feeding her. Maybe that’s what she meant. Some babies will sleep for more than 3 hours and not wake when they are hungry and can lose too much weight. So feed every 3 hours or less if baby demands it, that is my take away.
 
@madtowngirl Congratulations! :)

@NovaStar she was referring to not feeding him as much and letting him wait 3 hours. He's been nursing a lot.

I spoke to a lactation consultant, he's actually cluster feeding and doesn't want anything to do with being apart from me. The nurse seemed to change her tune after the lactation consultant came in.

Congratulations madtown! Birth story when you can!

Kiwi there are sooo many opinions in the hospital...take them in but do what you feel is best!

And omg look at all that hair!
 
Thank you, ladies! Her name is Claire Maya, not for about specific reason, we just really liked it. :)

My birth story is actually a bit boring, but in a good way. She hung on until her scheduled C-section date, and then we calmly arrived at the hospital well prepared and ready. And now I see how emergency and scheduled C-section are totally different. So far, my recovery this time around has been much easier.

@kiwi - that does seem like odd advice. I have been feeding my girl every three hours instead of on demand, but that's only because she's not eating very much, and we had to make sure her blood sugars were okay. If your baby is giving hunger cues, and there are no other issues, feeding on demand seems to be the current best practice.
 
Congrats MadTown! Glad it went so well.

I have my 37 week appt and scan today...
 
Madt that sounds lovely. Ugggh making this TOLAC thing harder to choose! :haha: anywho glad your birth was calm and uneventful!

They always check heartbeat several times to make sure she's not in distress. I think the only point of these extra scans is to make sure they don't want to induce earlier because the blood thinner is causing her distress. So far they always say she's doing wonderfully well. Then they just do everything they'd do at any scan, take all of her measurements etc. I haven't seen a clear non-alien frog baby picture in a long time as she is so smushed in there the pictures aren't very good. After the last one, DH said she might have his mother's nose after all (not mine). Fingers crossed!
 
Awwww I'm sure you have a lovely nose! Besides, babies who get our undesirable traits have a way of making them look cute ;)
