bring on baby!! Welcome!!!

As far as the ugly party...I know you both will have beautiful and unique babies. Since our daughter was born VBAC they laid her right on my chest the minute she was all the way out. Looks quite a bit different form the babies you see in pictures because she was a slight purplish color and she had her merconium poop about 2 seconds after we started cleaning her. We chose to have it that way since they asked once she was halfway out.

Wat is vbsck?

VBAC- Vaginal Birth After C-section.

Our son was born by C-section because he wouldnt flip (he was head up). Then my daughter flipped at 30 weeks and stayed down and they allowed us to do a vaginal birth.

Oo ok I c..

I'm spotting and cramps now wtf

 

[bexxc]

yeah...i know baby's going to look a bit alien-like and purple and weird since we're requesting immediate skin to skin. i don't care. sprout's going to be perfect anyway

sorry about the spotting, annie. you've probably got a lot of pressure on your pelvic floor right now. i'm sure your polyp will start to get more and more irritated as you get closer to your edd.

i just finished assembling our stroller and wanted to push it through the house to see how it was working. i felt like a little girl pushing one of those pretend plastic strollers with my baby doll in it!

 

[annie00]

We haven't discussed birthing plans yet..

Okay so I'm getting worried..bentlie has moved all day ...

 

[annie00]

Ok I just felt her move on time little but I felt it..

 

[bexxc]

sprout has been a little hyperactive nutball today!

maybe she's just resting right now

 

[bexxc]

my stomach is contorting from it! it looks so bizarre!

 

[annie00]

Lol crazy kids

 

[annie00]

Who have u discussed birthing plans with Bex?

Lance was suppose to be home over one hour ago he called and said a machine burnt down to the ground and he tried to put it out but couldn't so ur bailed off so they had to call fire department an all..

 

[bexxc]

morgan and i have certainly talked about it and we've gone over it with our doctor. our requests are really minimal and simple because i'm going into all of this with a very open mind. there are just a few simple things that i feel strongly enough to put into our birth plan. the rest of it, i'm going to leave up to my ob and the medical staff at our hospital. they seem very mom/baby oriented and professional.

 

[annie00]

Yea that makes since..the only birth plan I want inforced is that's its just me mom n lance in delivery room and this might sound harsh but I'm thinking about not even let mil on the premises I know ur thinking omg but she didn't respect me enough to go to baby shower than why let her be there to aggravate me?

The rest I'm gonna let the drs decide..

 

[bexxc]

we included being able to take pictures in the delivery room, morgan being allowed to cut the umbilical cord, having immediate skin to skin contact and delaying newborn assessments and treatments until after first feeding, not supplementing with formula as i'll be bfing, rooming in with baby, and no circumcision for a boy. i think that's it.

 

[annie00]

I didn't think we had to have permission to take photos r for lance to cut cord...

Why did y'all chose not to get circumcised if a boy?
U do realize that when he gets older he is gonna have a lot of problems bc it's so un healthy they keep infections like uti and stuff my ex had it.. And not to mention its a lot of upkeep to keep it clean

 

[annie00]

Who do I talk to about my birth plan?

 

[bexxc]

it depends on your doctor. some doctors ask that you don't take photos during delivery because their insurance companies charge them more because of proof for malpractice lawsuits.

i just think circumcision is a bit cruel. the more i researched it, the more i found that it seems like cruel mutilation. it's a natural part of the body and i wouldn't go and cut off a piece of my little boy without him having a say in it. as long as it's kept clean properly and he learns how to keep it clean properly, the risk of infection isn't much more than having him circumcised. if it does present an infection risk, circumcision can be done later. if he doesn't like the way it looks or he's uncomfortable with not being circumcised, he's free to make that choice later. i just feel like if we circumcise him, he doesn't get that choice with his own body. it took me a really long time and a lot of research to come to that decision though.

 

[bexxc]

i would search online for sample birth plans and look through them to decide what's important to you. write up what a draft and go over it with your ob at your next appointment. once you've finalized everything, make several copies an put them in your hospital bag. i've also heard that it's best if you include some little treat for the nurses/other staff to go with it. you get more of what you want if you give them a little something for their trouble- a box of chocolate or some tasty muffins or cookies- something like that.

 

[annie00]

That's make since but I have to admit would u rather get it done with they don't remember it are when they 18 yrs old and rmebers it?

Yea I guess if they take care of it.. But u know how kids go three that stage where they like being dirty? Lol but what if he doesn't wash it right?

I mean I'm not trying to change ur mind I'm just saying.. I think he would be better off never knowing what it looked like before therefore he wouldn't feel different ate embraased later on in the bedroom...

 

[annie00]

Wow Bex!
Bribing the nurses lmao!!! To funny!!
