Should i bring my boppy pillow to hospital for nursing

I don't plan on bringing mine. I'm honestly a germaphobe when it comes to hospitals and its germs. I plan on bringing as little as possible and throwing away almost everything when I'm done at the hospital.

The hospitals have pumps for you anyway that are way better than anything we could purchase.

Well good news, baby is still head down she is just squirming her legs and rolling around a bit more now..

she is approx 5lb 6oz, and heart is nice and strong!, NST went well, fluid levels perfect, will start internal exams in 2 weeks!

I asked about induction again today, because everytime I talk to him it always changes lol.. and hes like.. well between 39-40 weeks.. im like.. first it was 37 weeks, then it was 38, last week it was 39 and this week your saying 39-40?? lol.. hes like Nikki, your blood sugars are great! as long as nothing happens between now and then thats a good thing!!!! lol...I just want her here already i guess lol..

Other than that is anyone else like me, and the bottomless pit? It seems everything that crosses my path i want to put in my mouth and swallow haha.. I cant get enough! Good thing is that I didnt gain any weight since last week... still at 35 lbs Eeeeek :/

Off to take a nap, i am beyond tired today!

I am still sticking to my GD diet, but I have noticed now that I want to eat more and that I feel really hungry at night.

At my breastfeeding class I learned a very interesting tid bit of knowledge. The hospital where I will deliver (which is also right by my work) has hospital-grade pumps available for free use in all of their lactation rooms. However, you have to supply your own tubing to use it. At the class they told us if we buy our own tubing at the pharmacy it costs $50, but if we ask for the tubing before we go home with the baby they will give it to us for free.

Theres no way i could follow a diabetes diet right now! I live off cinnamon rolls, hoagies, chips and hot chocolate!! I know its awful, but i cant help myself!! I luckily count mycarbs and take insulin, but still, if my docs knew what i was eating, theyd strangle me! Esp my diabetes doctor!

Thank you. An afternoon on the sofa has definitely helped!

Good morning Ladies!!

-@Darkstar: Hope he does move!
-@La Mere: Sounds yummy! Although, I'm wondering... what is butter if not a diary? Just wondering if vegans don't take that as animal product or you buy some kind of substitute as well.
-@Nikki: Glad to hear everything is good!
-@Aj: Would love to see pictures, if you'll share!

AFM: I had an AWFUL night!!!! My period like cramps were so strong, my back was aching so much. It couldn't be because of water this time, I drank a massive amount yesterday. So, when I went to bed I told myself that if the pain woke me up in the middle of the night it was because it was something significant. About an hour later I woke up in such awful pain, (I even had that moment where I clearly told myself: This is it! It hurts too much!) but decided to just go to the bathroom, lay back down and relax, fell asleep again after a while. I was so tired this morning didn't really realize how many times the pain woke me up. But still felt strange this morning, still kinda does, but everything seems to be settling down a little bit more.

Just had a bit of a meltdown as I realised that I will be a mummy again in just 3 weeks(or less, if its the same time as ds its tomorrow!) I'm not sure I'm ready for this! If its anywhere near as bad as ds was, I'm not sure I'll cope or my marriage will for that It was soooo hard. But there's nothing I can do about it, just got to hope I don't have another hard one, I mean what are the chances of having another the same surely not!

DeeDee, we get a butter sub that is made from fatty oils, such as olive, flax, palm fruit, soybean and canola. We get a Non-GMO brand called Earth Balance. There is also a brand called Smart Balance, but to get Non-GMO we'd have to buy the organic one and I haven't found it at Wal-Mart. A true vegan (which I am not ) won't even use honey because it's made by bees.

Aw, I am sure it will be fine and even if it is as difficult as it was before, you got through it once and you will again.

Melly, you can do it! And perhaps you'll get a very easy baby this time as a reward for last time. But no matter what, you CAN do it and WILL do it! And you've got us to complain to and lean on - promise!

Thank you for explaining hun!

Lol I don't really have a choice, just got to get on with it! I don't think it helped that I think I had pnd but didn't get help, won't just struggle this time and will get help.

I think I may be having BH for the past 2 days. It's not painful just uncomfortable, and all bump goes tight. I just have to lean over for a while until it passes. Does that sound like a BH?

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Dear Hubby and his dear co workers! I do think it's sweet that they take time out of their day to talk about the pregnancy and how it all works, but not when it's about FREAKING ME OUT Haha. They told hubby that since this was my 3rd ultrasound with the insurance, that they might not pay for my 36 week ultrasound (since I have no complication thus far) and that he might have to pay UP TO 1000 DOLLARS FOR IT! He freaked out, stressed me out and made me call the doctors office!! Thankfully, I did, and if insurance doesn't cover it it wont be 1k, but 100 if that much, nurse said... so I'm still having it despite insurance!

Yep. Belly gets tight all over and it feels hard to breathe. Lasts a minute or so then everything goes soft again. Usually a change in position shortens the length of time.

The freaking peanut galleries and our pregnancies! Tired of other people's opinions and interjections!

 

[Lilahbear]

I don't think I've had any BH yet? Has anyone else not had any?

 

[Little J]

Melly- everything will be ok hun! Your just getting "cold feet", Remember way back when, when you were wanting a 2nd baby so bad, now you have it! And DS will have a sibling. I think if anything a 2nd will make things better and bring your whole family closer

Darkstar- My aunts son was breech and they told her about how they can spin him etc as you described. She said bc of the possible complications and it only being a 50/50 chance of it working, she went ahead and just did a C-section. She didnt want to risk anything bad to happen just to say she did a vaginal birth. Im the same, i would just say, however we can get him out the safest, i will go with that!

 

[Little J]

I didnt think i had any, until i started paying attention more and realized it wasnt baby just pushing out on my tummy. Its an actual all around tummy hardening. I get mine every once in a while.

I thought mine were painful, but ironically i was getting them when i was having galld bladder pain... since the pain subsided i can feel when my tummy gets hard all over, but there is no pain with it... it just feels like pressure to me. Like somone blowing up a huge balloon in my uterus... then it goes away after 20 seconds

 

[BlossomJ]

Melly - I'm feeling the same!!! Very worried about what life will be like - I need this one to sleep for more than 30mins at a time. We'll manage somehow though... and I don't know a single person that's had two really difficult babies
