gorgeous pic mummy laura!
oh my i think id have felt queezy hearing about it too.
i hope you love your section as much as i did hun!
Here's a birth day picture from me, princess mummy
Tired mama!!! Lol
what an adorable baby. Gosh I love the new born cheeks!!!
I wanna squish their faces 8D
Very tired and still a bit high haha, your sons are gorgeous! Can't wait to see what this baby is gonna look like. I'm so used to my Son and it's weird to think that I've made a child the same way I did the first one but it's gonna be a completely different person, know what I mean?
xx
Love the baby pics! And I totally understand what you mean MummyL, I keep wondering how different this little one will be and find it strange picturing another little face. Every time I think of my baby I picture DS! They look quite different in the scans though....but equally cute
I had a fair bit of bleeding with DS and all was well (obviously!), apparently about a third of all women bleed at some time in pregnancy but it's never really mentioned. If you're feeling anxious about it definitely go see the Dr. Your work can just suck it up!
Gorgeous baby pictures! I just want to hug and squish every baby I see!
I've always been more scared of episiotomies and forceps than of a C-section for some reason. I've never had one, but I've had many abdominal surgeries...been cut from stem to stern several times.
You guys have reignited my fears about forceps.
How do you ladies feel about episiotomies? lol obviously no one wants one, but is it better than tearing? Ugh, just the thought of it.....
I was terrified of tearing, and episiotomies prior to giving birth. I ended up with having a horrific birth; the hospital were criminally negligent but we didn't sue as it not only does it go against my principles, I was so messed up afterwards I couldn't talk about it for over a year. I did raise a complaint though, in the hope that hat no woman would ever have to deal with what I did. Anyway... The incompetent, panicking Doc who delivered DS not only cut me unnecessarily, but I ended up with an internal 4th degree tear (yeah, the worst kind
) due to her actions. Man, I'm still angry at that hospital! They didn't believe me that I was in labour, didn't call DH, so I also had to go through the whole thing alone.
It's still up in the air as to whether I'll try to deliver naturally, or have an elective section. I'm terrified of both tbh. But, one things for sure, I will kick, scream, and do everything else I need to to make sure I get what I need, when I need it. You have to be your own advocate in labour, that's for sure!
Afm - we did our gender reveal Saturday. Finally didn't have to keep it a secret anymore!!! The kids did a great job with shooting their balloons and everyone had a great time. We shared our names with family as well - Reed William and Evan John. Was a wonderful day filled and the outpouring of love was overwhelming
We ordered cribs today too. Overstock is having a fabulous Labor Day sale so we finally made the leap. They'll be here on the 17th and then we'll be able to finish up the nursery!
Lovely reveal, and gorgeous family!
BB - no sorry hun never had vibrations.
hopeful - sorry to hear your in pain hun
I hope it gets better soon.
afm - well i wont be recieving any correspondence from the scan clinic... The clinic where i had it done is closing down this month. So no wonder she couldnt be bothered with my scan
Not surprising really! How annoying that you won't get any answers though!
Seth- No wonder!! So sorry you don't get a proper apology now though ;(
Welsh- welcome back!! Good luck to you on your scan tomorrow
it's silly the midwife didn't just communicate with you. I feel like its a big problem with OBs and MWs these days... Just doctors in general I guess -.- pity. At least you know now and get to see little bean more often!! I was kind of hoping I would be considered high risk this time cuz my pregnancies are so close together but my OB didn't find it necessary
I'm feeling a bit stressed here today ladies- between some tiffs with my mother lately and everything else going on (buying a new house in the next 2 months, getting approved for loans, hospital bills stacking up from my sons MRIs, then moving, the new baby, our gender reveal, money being tight until my husbands raise this month, blah blah blah) I will probably be on here for some major B&B love today. I guess the fuss with my mom last night made me super on edge
I couldn't sleep and then I had horrid nightmares
I am trying drawing a bath at the moment while DS naps. I hope it calms some nerves
Sorry you've had such a crappy day
I have a fairly up and down relationship with my Mother so I get how stressed it can make you feel when things aren't so great. Hope it gets better ASAP!
Omg all these birth stories have me remembering why I am terrified to do it again, I too had an awful experience that left us both traumatized for weeks afterwards. My poor ds head swelled 5 cm in the 3 hrs after birth and went to nicu.
I sincerely hope we all get a better time this time around, so jealous of those that have had a good birth!!
Hope you all are well!! Sm that sucks re clinic!! They are jerks
My anatomy scan is in 12 hours yay!!!! Finally get my gender!!
Sorry you had a difficult birth too
I took me a long time to recover from DS birth, in fact I'm not sure if I ever will, so I totally understand how it feels to face doing it again when it was rough the first time! It's hard getting over it when other people seem to do it all so easily, but I hope with all my heart that we get to be one of those people this time around. Good luck with your scan! X
the head was measuring small so im worried about that. Waiting on a call from the midwife from the hospital now.
