to you Foxy. What a hard thing to have on your plate right now
I'm so sorry and I hope you and hubby can find your love and common ground again
I have a super specific packing list for my hospital bag, but haven't put anything together yet... And a somewhat organized birth plan that is basically checkboxes of what I do and do not want. Anyone else thinking of lotus birth/delayed cord clamping (like half hour to an hour?).
As for colostrum, I've had it for a couple weeks now. It's clear when it comes out, but dries yellow. I was really put off by it when it first happened actually. I'm a first timer, and although I plan to breastfeed it was just weird seeing stuff ooze from my nipple. In the past, this would have been a sign of something gone terribly wrong lol.
Does anyone else not have a nursery/second bedroom?? I have my basinette and car seat ordered, but honestly have nothing else. My family is throwing me a baby shower to help me out, and that's on June 8th. But besides some clothes, a baby carrier, and a little bouncer chair I have nothing yet! Hopefully when we become home owners someday I can have fun decorating a child's bedroom. But for now we are renters and have to leave the walls alone.
So nothing to worry about having orange colostrum?
I've only ever heard it's clear and sticky or yellow... maybe I'll let doc know
We don't have a second bedroom - we don't even have a place for baby to sleep yet! We want to get a bassinet, but not a frilly one, something more clean cut that can be picked up by on handle, not wicker or anything. We did get a carseat and inlaws bought us a stroller... other than that we don't have much! Some clothes and diapers I got at swaps... hopefully my child isn't planning an early arrival
Went for a hike this evening and now I'm achin! Which would be fine if I didn't have this brutal acid food in my throat I could lay down and rest...gah!!!
