***May Blossoms Due Dates Join Here**47 Babies Born!***

[lisaf]

congrats Mimi!

And Bizy - the sleepy newborn thing during feeds is totally normal.. sometimes its that they aren't getting enough food to have the energy to eat, but sometimes its just part of the process... I have a whole list of tricks to waking them up to feed if you're interested. Of course they eventually all stopped working for me
I'm pumping my milk and feeding it to Daniel in a bottle after nursing.. he STILL passes out during nursing.

Lucky - how'd everything go today?

It went ok. Still only 2 cm dilated and 80% effaced. Im admitted at the hospital now though for PIH concerns. I'll be here until at least 2am. Hoping baby decides he wants to come.

BnB has let me view for 2 days but won't let me post... here goes try number 56...

24- you are smokin something if LABOR is your favorite part! lol

Span- I had to tell a nurse to get her hands off my baby and my boob or I was going to lay her out!

Hopeful- LOVE the monkeys! And may I suggest you stock up in flexible ice packs for the swelling and take all jewelry off pretty much now.

Lisa- my girls still fall asleep during BF a lot- they BF, and take EBM from a bottle AND get formula fed- our lactation consultant said she's never seen babies so well adjusted with such a mix up- when I asked how often other moms actually try all this she didn't have an answer. It's still my opinion that most of it is all in the attitude and approach you take. Babies adapt and it all turns out fine, just relax

33 babies?!?

Oh, and Lucky, I was induced with my 14 year old and only pushed twice

 

[heyyady]

Omg! It friggin worked!!!

 

[hopefulmama]

Hey- i haven't had any swelling in pregnancy, oddly enough.. just last few days i get hot feet at night... i bought these things called 'feme pads' which are just gel pads u put in freezer and use after birth.. well i've been using on my feet before bed and its like heaven. I'm sure with the incredible heat and humidity here i will look like i just rolled around in avocado(im allergic) after birth, especially since i'm being induced this weekend and i'll have the iv's pumping so much fluids in.
Hope you're feeling great and your babies are good!

 

[Psycow]

Hey Lucky - what are PIH concerns? If everything is not okay, will they be inducing you?

 

[heyyady]

hopeful- I'm allergic to avocado also and developed an allergy to latex and adhesive while I was in the hospital- this also crosses over to an elastic allergy. Apparently there is a common link between avocado and these things. Tell them ahead of time that you are allergic/sensitive to these things so that the will either not use them or limit your exposure to them. Part of my "healing" issues have been recovering from bleeding hives anywhere there was tape- including my entire abdomen and groin :/

mimi- congrats!

looks like not much chatting going on lately. lol. i was thinking i was gonna come on here with pages to catch up on. but i guess the babies are keeping us busy. Ava's constipation was a little bit better today. i gave her some apple juice and water last night. she isnt pooping as often though. only once today and yesterday. but the poop was mushier today. which is a good sign

 

[lisaf]

I think all the chatting is over in the parents thread now.. I can't keep up with that one!

Psycow- PIH is pregnancy induced hypertension. They don't like my BP so pending induction if baby doesn't come on his own.

Hey- if only I could be so lucky, I pushed 4 1/2 hours with baby #1

They decided to discharge us early *woohoo* since baby was doing so good on the monitor. They figured it would be nice for me to sleep in my own bed. I have to go back for NST testing and every time I pee I have to pee in a hat now, which hubby then has to drive to the lab in 24 hours. I'm also on strict bed rest which really sucks considering I'm full term. She said I can't even take a long shower and that my husband will have to do everything, so he is officially on leave from work. Come on baby, mommy doesn't want to be on bed rest until the end, come on out!!!
