Psycow- oh yeah, very much excited for this appointment. I just want to know what my placenta is up too. Hopefully not much longer for you!!

Hopeful- I'm surprised with my history that it was my first full fledged anxiety attack. Connor is being very well behaved today. He took a 2 hour nap yesterday so he is catching up on sleep. I know it sucks having to leave the house but you will feel so much better after getting your hair done. I make myself straighten my hair every 3 days so I can somewhat see the old version of me.

24/7 hope I enjoy labor as much as you did haha. Pretty sure I said there was NO WAY I would ever do it again. Of course I've forgotten how bad I thought it was because here I am.

lucky- i blow dry my hair every 3/4 days but just the roots and top and its naturally straight so thats how it dries. But i hate how flat and straight it is cause i like volume and bounce or light wave, and i have such long hair and so much of it i can't handle the idea of sitting there with my head upside down blowing heat on my head and face then battling my hair with a round brush. Thats y i broke down and figured i'd rather spend the money on someone else doing it. I know i'll feel better when my hair looks good.. i just had it colored and cut the other day and felt way better when i left and everything was styled and dint have blonde roots anymore.
I'm glad connor is being good today, works well with your lack of sleep and irritablity.

24- wow i've never heard anyone who loved labor as much as you seem to. you're lucky you had that sort of experience.

bizy- when do you get to go home?

Between pregnancy and the idea of labor, i've been filling my best friend in on every detail cause she wants to start tryng this summer and she knows what shes really getting into not the bs people feed you about how great it all is, she lives in tokyo so trying to find a dr who will do an epidural has been a mission for her. She wouldn't even start trying till she found one haha. She's a lot more cynical and opinionated than I am so i can only imagine how her attitude will be when she does get pregnancy she also cares a lot more about aesthetics and need to stay thin than me so i keep telling her to really consider this cause when she gained weight before from meds she went into this depression and then became obsessed with being thin again and needed help. It worries me.

So this is what we did to the nursery... we just had that finished yesterday my phone isnt letting me take a pic of entire wall but you get the idea. Its totally not my style at all nor what i wanted, but i got so fed up i let hubby take over

 

[24/7]

I seriously loved labour, and just wish I could relive it. xx

 

[24/7]

Nursery looks fab hopeful!! xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

My labour this time was so much better and dare i say easier pmsl I remember telling myself to remember this and that about it, but its fading and just a blurry memory now lol

I got slight swelling end of pregnancy, but it has cleared up so fast and is all but gone now.

Weighed myself today just out ot curiosity lol, and was chuffed to see another 4lb off, thats 24lb and George is just 1 week today and I feel amazing Spent a lovely day with OH today and George was awake all day but happy and cooing Still not winding well though!

Lucky glad you had a lovely day yesterday. Hopeful lovely nursery decor!

Blimey i hated labour! It was fine until the mw checked and swept my cervix but then it ramped up so much i begged for an epidural. I guess going from 3cm to fully dilated in an hour was the killer for me. The pushing would've been ok if it didn't last so long. Glad i managed it on gas and air in the end and I think if i hadn't torn i wouldn't have felt so bad afterwards.
Just waiting to be discharged from hospital - should be any minute.
Will try and do my birth story later on or tomorrow.

Megan is feeding great now after latching issues yesterday and overnight. Wasn't helped by a mw trying to shove my boob in her mouth even when she was screaming and i was crying.

Trying to catch up while i've got a spare minute!

Congratulations to all the ladies who have had their babies!

 

[luckyme225]

That looks similar to the one we were going to get. When we were TTC I knew I wanted green/ brown color scheme with some monkey decor. Love all the monkey stuff on etsy, used to spend hours looking at pictures. I let my husband pick the monkey decals in the end. I didn't get monkey bedding or anything because I prefer a more clean look. Just did a velour green crib sheet with a brown crib ruffle, even though it doesn't matter right now because the crib will be in our room for at least 6 months.

Hoping for shorter labor with baby out in a few pushes. Not sure that will happen if I have to be induced though, boo.

 

[mummy3]

Hopeful I really like the nursery decor, a littleboy will love it!

Hope all the ladies with anxiety/depression feel better soon

Good luck tomorrow lucky, and yep cant go without coffee

 

[ticktock]

Hi haven't been in here for ages but been following thread

Had my little boy (was Team Yellow but I knew it was a boy!) on the 12th at 38wks +5 so a little early. Lawson Luke weighed in at 5lbs 13oz so a bit tiddly but he's eating well and doing well too.

I've been quite poorly after but starting to pick up now.

Congrats to everyone and good luck to those still waiting xx

:wave: Hi ladies!!

If you plan to breastfeed, as a warning, treat and care for cracked and bleeding nipples immediately, do not let yourself get engorged, but drain as effectively as possible and watch closely for yucky symptoms. I was told I have double mastitis today. It sucks. I would not wish this on ANYONE!!

 

[Psycow]

Brandi, that sounds awful! I hope you will have some relief soon.

 

[BizyBee]

Ouch Brandi!

Hopeful, first thing I thought when I saw the pic thumbnail was that it wasn't what you originally planned. Although it's not what you wanted, I think it is really cute.
I get to go home tomorrow. My incision looks good and everything is going well.

Hope the ladies who are still waiting get to have their babies ASAP! xx

 

[MilosMommy7]

33 babies?! wow. congrats to everyone!

Ava has been super cranky the past few days. and today she's constipated i gave her a little juice and water. hopefully that helps. she's been crying non-stop.

 

[Wudluvanuva1]

Hey all don't seem to get time to come on these days,
Livi's doing ok she lost alot of weght at her first weigh in so is being monitured she's a little jaundiced so they think that might be why she was too tired to finish a feed, not sleeping too well at night but we'll get there.
Congratulayions Bizy and all the other new mummy's shocked to see u still waiting Hopeful lots of love x

 

[BizyBee]

Luke has lost a good amount of weight too and he's a little dehydrated so they gave him some pedialyte (electrolyte solution) to help. It should make him hungrier, as I have found he's a very sleepy baby. We have to wake him up for every feeding and he falls asleep shortly after latching on. They aren't overly concerned but I feel a little bad that my full milk supply hasn't come in yet.

 

[hopefulmama]

bizy- ya since i didn't make my mind up soon enough i just told my husband to do whatever, and he likes that cutesy kid stuff, i dont. it's cute but not my thing, but at least its done.
don't worry about your milk supply, sometimes it takes up to 2 weeks, i've been told by friend they got very down and right when they were about to give up it came in.

 

[MimiUK]

had my girl on 17th May .... 6lbs 1oz x

love her soooooooooooooo much!
