June 2013 first time bump buddies wanted

[27yrsTTC]

Ashley, I had one massage like that too- every 10 min she had to grab the garbage can because I thought I was going to vomit. Cold sweat. And the. It would go away. I think baby was just in a weird position and the pressure made it worse. But I went again and it was wonderful. So who knows!

Nothing new in my world. Having full blown anxiety about labour and delivery. Looking up midwives in our city, for some reason I thought it was a paid service so we just kind of ignored it, but it's covered by our provincial healthcare. So now I'm wondering... I have lot of questions. Will try and get a hold of them today. From what I understand the biggest difference is the OB just shows up to catch. A midwife is there the whole time. Also, I still want drugs, lol.

No doubt, I HATE needles as well (no tats for this girl), but I know myself enough to know I will be full blown hysterical in labour. The epidural is as much for everyone around me as it is for me.

So soon Pink!!!!! I'm excited for you. 11 days to due date for me, OB says they'll let me go a week over before they induce. So it all still seems a long way off even though I know it could be any time.

 

[No Doubt]

2nd morning this week I've woken up telling my son his time has come. I lost a few hours of sleep so that I'm sure is why. My doctor will let me go two weeks over before inducing....I'm not waiting that long. I've tried bribing him...telling him it would be so much nicer out here where he can stretch out...and he can meet daddy and the dogs, lol.

 

[pinkwaters]

Hey ladies, no doubt you keep trying to convince virtue eventually something will work ;D it'd be very amusing if he ends up liking what you bribed him with for real ;p

I saw the replacement doctor today, nice and friendly so that's good. The anesthesiologist kept trying to convince me to take epidural and I prefer the spinal needle, idon't want to be numb that long. Finally got him to just agree

 

[pinkwaters]

One more day !!!

 

[No Doubt]

Ok, so funny thing happened to me today. I came out of the bathroom with my dress stuck in my undies. And of all people a guy friend at my job pointed it out to me. Great! At least my whole ass wasn't hanging out...more just the bottom of one cheek. this has NEVER happened to me and I'm trying to be extra careful right now about that. EPIC FAIL!

 

[pinkwaters]

Omg! Haha ya I keep checking for that as it can easily happen now with vision compromised!
At least it's one person who saw ;D

 

[pinkwaters]

One more sleep I'm so thrilled and anxious and worried and excited and happy and scared and basically EMOTIONAL EEK!!
Please god make this day fly by!!! My mani padi is today to kill some time but that won't be enough!
Any good movies you guys recommend? Maybe a Harry potter marathon

 

[No Doubt]

[27yrsTTC]

I can't wait for pictures and an update!!

Me too me too!

Anyone having any labor pangs yet? Zilch happening with me.

 

[CatchBabyDust]

Nothing for me ofcourse lol .. I hope things progress next week and I have her before my due date

 

[No Doubt]

No labor pains. More bh as the days to by and I'm pretty sure my mucus is thinking as I have to change my undies and panty liners sometimes and I've also had some watery discharge a couple of mornings. So just waiting for things to pick up and get going. I've been feeling a bit more crampy and today I had some pressure like I had to have a bowel movement but nothing was going on so maybe just things getting ready. On the upside I did lose pounds so at least that's kicking in early, lol.

Pink hope you and lo are doing well!

 

[pinkwaters]

Hey ladies!!!
Yes sorry for the delay recovery has been tricky with the c sect and I'm still in process
I had him on the 25th 10 am! Best moment in my life! Cried like crazy under the effect of the spinal and morphine
I was out of it for most of that day but I managed to start breast feeding even though I barely remember doing so haha
Visitors in and out can make things worse but I'm starting to feel a little better

Having him in my arms is weird and amazing and just a bunch of emotions, day by day it clicks in more.

As expected he wasn't 4.5 kg he was less ! 3.7kg and was less within the next day, poor baby was swollen because of being head down for so long and that messed up measurements but either way I'm just happy he's here

Ill post a picture soon! Leaving hospital today!

 

[pinkwaters]

He still doesn't fully open his eyes but that's from day two
Funny how most kids cries I find irritating and mine is like music to my ears

Can't wait to hear about all your experiences and see your gorgeous bundles of joy

Lots of love and hugs from baby Henry

 

[No Doubt]

Congrats pink! He is so adorable. Looks so peaceful there. Be sure to take care of yourself while recovering.

 

[AsEn11]

Oh my goodness Pink he is perfect!! Such a doll!! I am so happy everything went well!!
Good luck on recovery and fyi you just amped up my anxiousness to see my little Graci!!

Ladies I dont know what to expect as far as labor pains..I have been so exhausted and wishing I could be done working already!!
I have also went to the bathroom feeling like I am going to have a bm and nothing, I have been having pains in my tummy and if icould stay in bed until she got here Idont think I would complain haha
