Forums New posts
Man after reading some of the other posts I actually feel really bad about my day, because it actually wasn't half bad. After my App. DTD with DH and then went and got some tacos. Couldn't have gone better.

Except now I want another taco....damn shouldn't have mentioned them. :dohh:
 
Nariah - aww thanks for sending me good juju lol. I certainly hope so! Why is being a woman so damn tough?!
 
That would be great if they let you try for a vaginal birth anyways! It wasn't that long ago that they happened all the time.

I know right!?!? Men have it so easy! My DH and I were talking last night and he asked me if I was nervous or excited since we were getting down to the last four weeks. I told him it was a bit of both, and he said he was 100% excited for it, and he couldn't see why I was nervous. I just shook my head and told him he doesn't get it. I am super excited to have my baby, but I also pointed out that he just gets all the easy stuff with this, his body isn't the one growing this baby and pushing him into the world. lol

I told him the biggest thing I am worried about is all the healing after hes born, like sitting down, and taking that first poo, or trying to have sex again. He just looked at me and was like oh I see. I swear they get all the easy parts of this whole childbirth and rearing stuff. :haha:
 
Omg....the first pp poo! I remember! For a whole week, it hurt to poo, especially as it's coming out - lol so sorry tmi.

And yeah. What DO men go through? Can't think of anything...sorry, OH. Get up from that 2hr nap and massage my back!
 
I took a nap and missed a conversation, lol.

Nariah- sounds like your days was pretty good, but now you made me want tacos too :(

Alchemist- Sorry your day didn't go as planned and sorry you didn't get your pie! I would have sent OH right back out to get it, haha. It's great news that they might let you try for a breech vaginal birth. Most doctors wouldn't, but this is how I see it (as Luna has already mentioned), women have been birthing babies for thousands of years. Some of those we breech and it doesn't always mean there won't be a good outcome. It's just a bit harder and needs more preparation in our society due to all the liabilities and such.

Hopefully your boy is just one of those stubborn babies and decides to turn at the last second.

I am SOOOOO scared of the first poo and pee. Oh my gosh!
As for what OH's do...not much when it comes to growing and birthing babies and all the discomforts that come with that. But I am totally making him come in with me for the first time I need to go so I can hold on to him for support. I don't care about my dignity or his comfort levels at that point! Ha!

I do have to give my OH this though, he has been working relentlessly on getting the house done before the baby gets here. He took today off of work so he could grind out a huge foundation crack in the house and fix it. Poor guy. The neighbor's tree roots came and ruined the foundation in the front part of the house, hopefully OH's fix keeps it fixed since the neighbors are in the process of killing that tree. Now sometime this weekend they can start putting in the floors. I am so excited because once all the floors are done it's nursery decorating time!!! It's so close, yet so far away, lol.

Sorry about passing the taco craving on. Mine has now morphed into a cinnamon roll craving. lol, I swear my stomach can't decide what it wants more these days! As for the first poop, I am very hopeful that it won't be too bad for me. I have a sensitive tummy normally, and normally take probiotics to help with it, but I stopped taking them for a bit, maybe it will make it easier to go?? :shrug: One can only hope.

As for DH, I really shouldn't complain about him not doing anything because its not entirely true. He may not be able to carry and birth this baby, but he has been really great throughout this whole pregnancy. He gives me foot/leg/back/and neck rubs, without me asking for them. He helps me get up/put my socks and shoes on, sometimes he helps me shave. He makes me food when my back hurts to much to stand over the stove...etc. Hes been a saint, and I know for a fact that when Samuel is born he will be right there helping me take care of him as much as possible, so yeah I guess men are good for somethings. :thumbup:

Or maybe I just got really lucky and married an exceptional man.
 
well I am off to take a bath, and then I think I will try to go to bed. Key word being try, but more than likely I will sit in bed for an hour wondering why I can't sleep. Get three hours of sleep or so and then have to get up again. I will be so happy when I can get back to being able to sleep no matter what, it used to be such a talent of mine. Even managed to fall asleep at a concert, now I can't sleep unless its middle of the day or in the car. :dohh:
 
Alchemist: I am sorry your appt didn't go as hoped. I do hope this version works for you. I think it's awesome that your doc would even consider a breech birth. In many other countries, breech births are much more common. Most doctors here don't have the training so don't even consider it. I've watched several online and it's pretty similar. They used to do them all the time until c sections became so popular. Maybe with people not want sections so much, more docs will start doing more breech deliveries. But I'm keeping my fingers cross for you that LO turns!

You guys have made me want pie and tacos! I could totally go for both of those and it's 930am here!!
 
Oh and I forgot to say that men really haven't a clue! I mean I know that I have little idea of what it's going to be like when LO arrives but get this:

The other night DH said "I was think after the baby is born and before I go back to work (2 weeks later) that we could drive to Memphis and visit our new niece."

Needless to say I laughed at him and told him he will be getting a serious reality check when the baby is born. He has no clue how tired we will be. Plus, why in the world would it be okay to travel 1.5 weeks after popping a baby out? Umm... We will not be sleeping, I will have had a 12 inch head come out of my vagina, and breast feeding every two hours. Sitting in a car for 6 hours is not my idea of fun.

He has NO CLUE!
 
Want - lol he sure don't know! To them, it's like black and white. My OH said something like that but he quickly realized how wrong he was. The most precious thing anyone wants to do after having a newborn especially, and is like gold, is SLEEP! Haha...btw, before I moved to LA, I lived in Memphis for about 10 years. I miss it sometimes for family, the bbq, and the nice and slow life. Los Angeles can get pretty crazy. I much prefer southern hospitality to snobby Hollywood style crazed people hehe.
 
Btw...if this version works and he stays heads down, I betcha anything, I'll go over. Just a feeling...with my luck and all :xmas11:
 
Nariah- Mmmm Cinnamon rolls. I wish I could eat them still. Well I can, but they give me some of the worst heartburn I have had this pregnancy. It's on par with marinara sauce, chocolate, and bbq sauce. Yuck!
It sounds like you got a good one (man). I have a belief that most people are generally good. Of course there are the bad ones out there, but that's just my view on things. As for sleep. I do that too now. I used to be able to sleep in blocks of 10-12 hours and now I can barely sleep three or four without having to get up to pee and then I can not fall back asleep for the life of me even if I am really tired. I did that twice today. Went to bed at 9pm, woke up at 11:45 pm...couldn't sleep until 5am and woke up at just under 9am. That is my typical type of sleep schedule now and it is so damn annoying.


Want- There is no time frame where pie and tacos are not a welcome sight...Morning, afternoon, or night. They are all good for me. :D Lol...I couldn't imagine taking a trip so soon after having a baby. I figure it is going to be one of the most trying times of my life. I might be a little cranky. I get cranky when I am in pain and have no sleep to fall back on. I call myself a Cranky Mccrankypants.
 
Alchemist-I hope you don't go over, but babies come when they want to come. Though sometimes I wish it could be on demand :haha:
I have never been anywhere outside of California besides for Las Vegas and Pheonix (I can't spell today). I would love to get to be able to travel to other places like Memphis. Or texas...And both are for food reasons, haha. I am a foody.

I have this super duper sore spot on my abdomen. Right under the left side of my ribs. Couple inches higher than my belly button. It hurts :(

And I am hungry, but OH is still sleeping because he must have woken up sometimes after 5 am (I know this because there is an Xbox game paused right now, lol). I want...a BLT and I'm gonna get it when he gets up.

Also, I say this to other BNBers and I wish I would take my own advice. GOOGLE is NOT your friend. I googled upper left belly pain in pregnancy and keep coming up with preeclampsia. But I have no other symptoms other than just feeling 'off' and unwell (but not sick). Stop scaring me google!
 
Whittnie - lol, that is funny. We always travel for food. Blt sounds good right now. But I'd also like a chili dog from this popular hotdog place over here. Nothing but their yummy chili on top. And theeeen, if not that, I want a shredded beef or chicken tamales...nothing but bad food's all I want lol.
 
A special hot dog place? What? I want to have a special hot dog place I can go to :( We have weinersnitzel (or however you spell it) and that is about it for hot dogs. I'm not getting my BLT though :( I forgot OH had went shopping and got all that sandwich stuff yesterday. So I figure, I might as well eat that yummy bread.

Speaking of food, I think you have a sonic or two up there. They just built one here and we went last night. I had such high expectations and their food is kind of gross! Just good for drinks apparently.
 
Sonics is good for their drinks. But that's about it. The food is too salty imo. So, I hear ya. Haven't been to one in forever though. There were a bunch of them when I lived in Memphis.

My morning was spent eating eating and more eating. Now I'm just retiring from it. I had a bowl if cereal this morning, tea, pain yogurt, toast. That was my breakfast. Ugh...an hr later, I munched on a twix. A little later, I had soup in a small cappuccino cup. Okay...then I prepared lunch and made mini sandwiches, aside of potato salad, side of Russian beet salad, and crackers +caviar. Wth happened to my appetite this morning?! Okay I'm not eating again. I'll have a pear in a couple hours and that's it. Can't believe all I was doing was eating. My dd too. Just snacking all morning. Lol
 
I get days like that when I am just so hungry all day. Then I pay for it that night, lol. My tummy will hurt.
Caviar is disgusting. YUCK! Acquired taste for sure. I never could get into it.

I think it's time for a nap, lol. I am in a sandwich food coma. HAHA
 
So went out and had breakfast with DH and his friend. Then on the way home started getting this rather uncomfortable pain in my back/and belly, mostly the bottom half. I also have some pelvic pain and pain in like my cervix area...if that makes any sense, although I don't know that its all connected considering my pelvis has been hurting on and off for a few days. I dunno, it comes and goes, DH asked if I was having contractions and I told him I have no idea I've never been in labor before. I am hoping its just gas pains or something...am I being to optimistic? Should I call and talk to the midwife you think?

Alchemist: I originally predicted that my boy would be born a week after my due date in the first week of December at 8lbs and 4oz. However with all the pain and discomfort I've been having I am wondering if I need to revaluate my prediction to earlier. SO you never know, guess they just know when they want to come out and we are along for the ride.
 
Sorry you gals are in pain!

Whit: I totally made BLTs for lunch!! Didn't even see this post till now:)

TMI:We went to Costco today and walked around for 1.5 hours. I'm cranky and exhausted and my back hurts. When I went pee in the store, I had a huge clump of discharge like I had after my internal exam. I got worried because I haven't had any discharge (beside last night) for two days! I texted my doc and she said it was normal as long as it wasnt rEd blood and baby was moving fine. I'm cramping and don't like that I'm still having discharge 5 days after an internal exam. I'm kind of pissed about it
