2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

Post partum peeing the trick is to lean over and touch the floor with your hand. You will look ridiculous but your pee won't sting. Works every time.

Not every time!! I just had a small graze after having my son... at the top!! I remembered being told to lean forward when i wee so it wouldnt sting so i did.... BIG MISTAKE!! OUCH! Only works if you have only torn towards the bottom!! X

 

[MissR]

Oh I forgot about the peeing after baby is born! I had a second degree tear and was the most painful thing, every time I went! Never heard of the leaning forward top so will try that this time around. Oh the joyful things we have to look forward to haha xx

 

[DoubleTFun]

I tore during my first labor and I felt burning for weeks after. OUCH!

I think my biggest fear about postpartum is hemorrhaging again. 8 hours after my second son was born I had a PPH and lost 1090ml. I would love if that didn't happen again

That's my fear as well I came close to dying after my 4th

3 boys - how was your 5th birth?? Did you hemorrhage again?

 

[Mrs Mel]

My tip for post baby wees, would be to wet the toilet paper with warm water before you use it. So it's a bit softer and more gentle.

Ok I know this sounds gross but hear me out. The only way to not hurt peeing immediately post partum is to do it in the bath, just before you get out lol.

Love all the tips and tricks for after birth. This is our first so I'll need them! I've heard a peri bottle is a life saver!
Just found out this morning, we are officially TEAM PINK! I'm 14+2 and it was crazy obvious. Three distinct white line and definitely not a boy part to be found. Before I conceived I had a dream of delivering a baby girl, so two weeks later when I got my bfp I just knew that God had told me why our miracle would be. My DH was really hoping for girl too so we are both over the moon!

 

[shelby1090]

Oh my new "due" date was changed from the 18th to the 23rd also

 

[3boys]

3 boys - how was your 5th birth?? Did you hemorrhage again?

no haemorrhage with 5th and 6th birth but they do put a syntocin drip up instantly which brings on contractions worse than labour which isn't pretty lol. My fear is that because I have quite fast labours shortest being 28 minutes from first pain until birth that I wont make it to the hospital in time and I was told after the hemmorage that if the doctor hadn't of been outside the room they don't think I would of made it.

Congratulations Shelby!

 

[Tink1o5]

3boys- omg how scary. You have some VERY fast labors. I hope this birth follows your 5th and 6th though and no hemorrhage!

Thank you my ob says it was probably just one of those things that will never happen again. I hope he is right.

It's so hard to wait! It would be 20+5 for us if I hadn't bit the bullet and paid £45 for the private one, could NOT wait that long

Do you have an inkling either way? xx

Boy, but I think thats only because I dont wanna get my hopes up for a girl. I dont have a gut feeling, its more just me getting myself ready to be told boy so im not disapointed its not a girl. Does that make sense??
After years of trying for this baby id love for it to be a girl so i get to experience both, I dont know if I have enough strength left in me to try for another baby for so long in the hopes of finally getting a girl x

The only reason we went early at all is because the place we chose had a special 2D gender scan for only $50 and if babe didn't cooperate or the tech wasn't 100% you come back for another scan free. DH's mom sent us some money for an ultrasound as a gift so it didn't really come out of pocket. We feel really lucky because the raise we would be waiting until our 20 week scan too! Is really recommend those specialty places though. The equipment is better and the tech really cared in our situation. The cord was in the way so we waited and pushed a bit to move it and bam three white lines clear as day. We even got a discount for a return visit for $79 for the 3D ultrasound so we are going to do that sometime after 30 weeks!
