Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

[moter98]

Hi all! Sorry I haven't posted here but the hospital Internet was awful. Fb is much easier with my phone.

Moter... I feel so bad for you as I know first hand what you are going thru. When all was said and done dr told me 2 things. 1... Finn was breech and his head was pushing on my main arteries, hence all the pressure. 2... He never would have turned even thoughit looked like he could go either way, labor would have made situation much worse. Mine literally popped up over night. Surgeon said that I was not constipated nor was there a blockage other then 3 very angry large hemorrhoids. Now I am glad they are gone. Still hurts but getting better. Still need to go potty but letting it happen when it does. Hoping by Friday which also gives me one week to heal. They can give you suppositories, They don't help. Hot water helps lots. Hopefully they will go away.

Afm... Finn is fabulous. Dh has been amazing. I am really tired but mainly because I feel yucky. First night was horrific just like last Friday. Nurses felt horrible. Do think they are used to that. They got me a high dose of morphine. They all looked so relieved when I hadn't died over night and felt a tad better. By Sunday I was doing much better but pain still high so they kept me til Monday. Csection wasn't so bad. Hoping to feel 80% by Friday. Nurses said I was such a trooper. Started walking Saturday am and took a shower everyday. Just felt so bad because I was so miserably sore.

Hang in there girls not long now. So exciting!!!!

Also dh wants to start to try to have another in a year. I was blown away. I really thought even if I wanted to that he was done. I said we would talk about it then but right now I want to concentrate on Finn.

Thanks for the advice mail. Dr yesterday said he would lance it for me but its safe to wait it out too. I'm just gonna hold off for now and hope it gets better. I have a feeling lancing it isn't gonna help right now cause I know there's more in there waiting to take its place! It's gotta be the pressure from baby as I've been taking colace since the placental tear so no problems there. I would say this is by far the most painful part of pregnancy- aside from a retained placenta, but at least that only lasted 2 minutes, not 24/7.
Glad you are feeling better and hope your recovery goes fast for you. Finn is adorable! So happy for you. wow, another! You have a wonderful dh. Mine is already asking for a vasectomy! I'm guessing this will be our last unless dh is hit over the head and suddenly wants another, bwahhahahaha

 

[Twinkie210]

Wow he already wants another! I married the wrong man, LOL. Mine is like Moters and keeps saying we're done!

Finn is so adorable! I am glad you are feeling better. Enjoy your little man!

 

[moter98]

Twinkie, any ideas on how to convince them for another? I've asked dh just to wait on vasectomy for 3 years and see if he changes his mind. It's all my brothers fault for getting it done recently and telling him to do it too! Even gave him a business card for it and everything.

 

[baby_bray]

motor- I'm a urology technician, and most vasectomies are done by family practice docs, but we see the difficult ones and ones with complications. Complications are *quite* uncommon, but still...... I can share some terrible horror stories ( I'm talking worst case scenarios) if you're really trying to get him to hold off

 

[Twinkie210]

Well, it took me 8 years to convince him for #2, so I am not too good at it, LOL (OK that is not exactly true ) I make it a point to show him every cute little girl item I see. I figure eventually I will wear him down, LOL. I am hoping he will get a big raise in the next couple years and he will have no excuse why we can't have one more!

 

[Twinkie210]

I am lucky in that respect, I don't think that DH would ever voluntarily get a vasectomy!

 

[television]

My OH is already saying let have another soon after its difficult to get your head round when your pregnant and have to go through labor soon, maybe the labor might put him off as this is his 1st lol, but i think id like another but leave it a yr or so

 

[Twinkie210]

I don't know if it is true, but a guy at work said his wife had to sign some form before his Dr. would do his vasectomy. I told DH before I would not agree to it (although like I said he wouldn't do it anyway) and if he did get one I would have to find myself a hot boyfriend, LOL.

Thanks, but I know he will wait till I give the go ahead. He would never do it unless I agreed too. I just asked for three years and then do it. I will be 36 by then and will give up on the idea of another if he still hasn't changed his mind. My brothers went very well, he was back to work next day! He makes it sound so easy.

Haha! My problem is ds will now have two boys and he is pleased as punch. He's never had a desire for a girl like me and would be perfectly content with two boys. I guess I will just hope that this baby is so quiet and well behaved that he will want another one, haha!

That's great he wants another, will be nice for lo to have a sibling. We started ttc when ds was a year old. I think that's good spacing.

Really? I didn't know that. Dh did not want to do it at all till my brother did and told him how easy it was and happy they are they did it. I'm like, shut up already! But truthfully, once we are for sure done having kids I'd be all for it. Then I wouldn't have to take the pill anymore.

 

[baby_bray]

Some doctor's do have spouses get involved. I'm Air Force and we don't require the spouse to get involved, but my Urology training was actually through a Navy program. The Navy required the patient *and* spouse to attend a class and then they had to wait a mandatory 30day cooldown period as a just in case before they could have it done.

 

[mailcmm]

We wouldn't do a vasectomy. I want that procedure where they cauterize the womb and you never get your period again. Lol when I met dh and up until 5 years later he told me he would never have children. I was happy with one. Never dreamed he would say he wants another. I want to wait 1 year. This was rough. First night home was uneventful. Finn sleeps continuously. Which is awesome and sad all at once. Mommy wants to play. Lol first drs apt today at 215. So much going on for little guy.

 

[Twinkie210]

Awww mail, I was the same way with Liam! The very first night in the hospital I woke up at 3am and just held him and kissed him and quietly tried to wake him up I paid for it later, LOL. Now I try to tip toe past him when he is sleeping! He was up from noon until after 6:30pm yesterday with no real nap!

Just talking about all the new babies and soon to be born babies gives me baby fever all over!

 

[moter98]

Oh never heard of that mail, sounds like a good deal to not have a period again. my dh didn't want kids either till 3 months before we got married so I do feel very blessed that he changed his mind and we have (almost) two. I would love to try for a girl in a couple years but if he doesn't I'm fine with that too.

Was not my experience at all with ds! He cried from the moment he was born and didnt stop till like 3 or 4 months old. He had major colic, poor guy. If anyone wanted to watch him when he was a newborn we would readily agree and run as fast as we could in the opposite direction, ha. But now he is a sweet boy and most of his cries are fake pay attention to me or cause he got hurt

i cant wait to find out what i have just so i can either haveon the 1st page just looking more boys then girls i need a girl

 

[Twinkie210]

I think I am going to start a new sewing project... this is probably an insane idea with a 3 month old, but Oh well! It is a baby blanket and is so cute, the problem is the baby shower is at the end of the month! I doubt I will get it done in time.

A baby blanket? Any inspiration photos?
