Due Sept 2017

I think we've decided on Scarlett for our girl
Unless we change our mind, we just need to decide on a middle name. I like Scarlett Grace and Scarlett May. Other half likes Scarlett Rose and Scarlett Alexis. Both Grace and Rose have family ties, but I love the way Scarlett May sounds and looks. Cannot decide

 

[Savasanna]

Aww - sweet name! Congrats on deciding!

My initial thought was Scarlett Grace has a really nice flow to it - but they all sound like winners.

 

[MrsKChicago]

I like Scarlett, and any of those middle options would work.

I was more of a moaner than a screamer in labor. I don't think complete silence would have worked for me, but it's just a different kind of energy. I say do whatever you have to do to get the baby out, though, and screw what anyone else thinks.

Scarlet is beautiful!

 

[Michellebelle]

Love the name Scarlett!

 

[AshNAmber]

Scarlett is such a pretty name.

We gave the name game a rest for now

I can't believe I'm 20wks finally half way!!

 

[Savasanna]

Happy 20 weeks! That's such a fun milestone

Everyone childbirth experience is different, I didn't scream through the 26 hours of labor. That was up until I found out what the ring of fire really meant. Then I screamed!!! There should be no judgement in the delivery room.

I like Scarlett Grace it sounds nice together

 

[gingmg]

So true lady brown, it is so different for everyone. I was really scared about the ring of fire, but that didn't happen to me, everything was a relief once I started pushing. I'm not going to say that it didn't burn or hurt, but I didn't have the same experience of the ring of fire that others did. For me transition was the hardest.

Have any of you ladies been experiencing pelvic bone pain. Like it almost feels as if the bone is bruised its got me a little worried I have an apt next week but im wondering if I should get this checked out before hand

 

[Savasanna]

I don't even know what you guys are talking about (ring of fire) and honestly - I don't want to know. I'm really in denial about this whole birthing part..

 

[MrsKChicago]

The ring of fire got me even through the fading epidural, but I think I focused more internally. I don't really know.

Savasanna, all I can really say about labor and delivery is that it really really sucks, but it doesn't go on forever and then you have a cute baby

 

[Impatient27]

Rockstar, I go to the chiropractor every week and she's been adjusting my pubic bone - it always feels bruised to me until I get adjusted. It may just be that something is out of whack!

 

[rockstarlove9]

ok thanks for your response I will mention the bruised feeling to my doctor at my upcoming appt. Is this a sign of SPD or something.

I think I am one of the lucky ones who had a really positive birthing experience, I loved the whole thing. Sure parts were painful but I had a fantastic midwife and stayed pretty relaxed throughout it which I think helped. I hope this time goes the same way 🤞🏻

 

[gingmg]

Bumbleberry- Me too. Hoping for the same this time too.

 

[MrsKChicago]

I'm really hoping this one goes better. I'd have been ok if I hadn't labored for so long, I think. I just ran out of energy halfway through. It certainly could have been a lot worse, though!

 

[ladybrown33]

I agree with Mrs. K it was the long labor that got to me, after 16 hours of labor I opted for epidural because I was just too tired to remain focused. I then had 10 more hours before it was time to push. Pushing was a relief in some ways for me. At this point there is no escaping it we must get these babies here safely and that is the most important thing.

 

[Babybump2017]

My mum had a 40 (yes four zero ) hour labour with me .. I am a twin however I didn't think that made much of a difference when it comes to the duration of the ordeal. Then a 32 hour labour with our little brother. All healthy babies. They normally say you take after your mother - lets just hope and pray I don't

 

[rockstarlove9]

I dread the thought and idea of labor. I know I have to go through it just don't want to think about my poor little whoha being ripped apart lol. If they say you go like your mom then my LO will come early and so fast I wont have time for an epidural. Im super excited I found out what im having in 4 days im praying they fly by lol.
