PG, yes, I only had the spotting that one time I wiped.
As always, it's a mystery to me!! I don't like the pelvic rest the nurse told me to do as we were trying to get into perineal massage to help with my labor and not tear again (assuming she moves head down at some point). But that involves rubbing down there of course. I'll have to get really specific when I see the doc next week to ask.
Sander, I love your post.
I remember that feeling before Alistair. Especially because I was on bedrest, I was REEALLLY bored. I was always on BnB. Like hours a day. I watched a lot of Hallmark movies....I took like two baths a day....do a bunch of self care things you won't have energy for with a baby, like a really good blow out on your hair and do you nails and pluck your eyebrows, etc. Shop online.
Can you take DH to work and keep the car? That's what did a lot when we had one car. Take a day out somewhere fun where kids are a distruption (like a museum or go see a film at the theater).....
Mom, sounds like you are doing great with your eating.
