November 2013 Babies!

[luna_19]

Mama that is so funny how different guys are, mine really wants to feel baby but at this point it's just luck if you happen to have a hand in the right place at the right time

I think my boobs will be off limits once I'm bf, they'll probably be all sore and leaky I assume. Hubby will be disappointed but too bad

I'm in Chicago now! Dave sat in a seat to get here that had dried vomit on the seatbelt! Blahhhh... He didn't want to even tell someone!! Smelled soooooooo bad!
We have a 3 hour+ lay over here and so boring.

Alchemist: I hear that even hearing someone else's baby will make you leak.

Rockin: I feel the same way. TMI : last night when DH and I were intimate, my mind thought for a second... How am I even going to let him touch me again once these puppies are used as a feeding device. Totally a strange concept that I can't wrap my head around. Probably wont until I'm actually breast feeding.

I dont think youre here anymore, but IM IN CHICAGO! Close proximity, fellow pregnant lady hug Enjoy & thats exactly how Ifeel about my boobs now, but Im sure itll all work itself out. SOmetimes its just nice to chat about it with people.

Alchemist: So strange about leaking when you think about the baby, I didnt know that. I havent started leaking yet and I see some posts on the 2nd tri boards where women are leaking already....but that doesnt happen to everyone right?

There are great thread about breastfeeding in public going on right now in 2nd tri. Im always amazed at how heated people get about things. Nevertheless, and intersting read

It's something to do with signal to the brain,, like a switch. Thought of baby? Oh, okay, let's release milk for baby! Oh...let down milk comes in surprise. I don't know if it's some or all breastfeeding ladies it happens to? But all my mommy friends have said it happened to them and it did to me too.

Speaking of this breast milk topic, I think I will also feel weird having DH play with my breast after I just fed my babies. But he wants me to feed him milk too..lol. what a freak! I think he is just curious to see how it taste. ugh. It sounds really strange coming from someone who is scared to feel the babies kick.

 

[The Alchemist]

Omg. My oh was the same but for some reason, and a lot of women are like this too, I didn't want him doing anything to it or even touch them. It's like...these babies are all for the baby. I mean...I can't explain it. It's probably this psychological change. I just thought it was gross for him to want to touch them and/or suckle when it's for feeding the baby....

I finally got the results from my midwife, and they said baby Samuel looks healthy. They did say he has cpc, but that since they didn't find anything else its probably nothing and will go away. I almost wish they had said nothing. Because for a minute, I had this horrible feeling in my gut that it was terrible news, being a first time mom and having no idea what a choroid plexus cyst is! Damn people giving me heart attacks for no reason!

That being said, he is been moving around like crazy the last week. I am finally feeling him and know its him for sure. Last night it took me 30 minutes to get to sleep because he kept kicking me. But of course as soon as my husband tries to feel he stops! little rascal!

I have met two of the doulas I plan on interviewing. I like both, I have one more to meet. I have no idea how I am going to choose. My husband is worried about the cost, but I feel like its important to have one there. We shall see how it goes.

As for the bf and boobs and such I dunno how I feel. Mine have started leaking at the most random times. I leaked on my husband last time we had sexy time and I was mortified. He thought it was sexy, I don't know what strange planet he comes from but yeah. I guess I will just wait and see.

oh great now my nose is bleeding. ah joys of pregnancy.

 

[Nariah01]

well I finally got that gusher under control.

Then looked down at my belly and had a holy crap moment. Just noticed my belly button is like twice as wide now and shallower then it was before. Anybody else notice a change in their belly button yet?

 

[mama.luv]

Nariah my nose bled today too. I get nose bleeds like once a week or every other week. I've never had them in my life before this pregnancy. It's so crazy how our body changes during pregnancy. And yes, I noticed my belly button looking like it's going to pop out. Maybe within 2 weeks or so, I will have an outty Your baby will be fine, I hate when the Doctors give us more things to worry about.

Im sure youre little guy is fine But I think all first time moms worry, I know I do
Im not sure if Im going to have an outie, but I might mine is definitely wider and more shallow. And yep, Ive had 3 or 4 nose bleeds since I got pregnant BLAH, they suck and I always feel crappy after.

So, random question. Anyone doing a bump photo shoot? How did it turn out? Was it worth it? Im not sure if I want to have another, so just in case, Id like to do something to remember this pregnancy.
Hope everyones having a great weekend

My belly button is much wider than it was originally. Same thing happened last pregnancy, but it didn't pop out last time, so I'm hoping it doesn't this time either.

My boobs were off limits to DH until after I stopped breastfeeding. I couldn't reconcile the two purposes. They are off limits again already as they're really sore.

Rockin - I didn't have a bump photoshops last time. But we had a newborn shoot when Miley was 10 days old. This time we are having a family shoot in September to get some pictures of us and Miley before baby arrives. The photographer has said they'll take a few belly shots for me during that shoot.
I'm not sure how I feel about it as I hate the size I am when pregnant, but I know it's a lovely time in your life to have a record of.

Hey guys! I'm in Croatia luckily we have wifi here so I can still keep up with you wonderful ladies!

How often do people's breasts leak before they give birth? Is it just happening with you ladies that have babes already?

My belly button is almost gone! It's close to flat and when I laugh, it kind pops in and out a little. I learning to accept and embrace it. It's kind of funny now but when it first started happening I was mortified.

I have a photog that did family photos for us a couple of years ago and ten did our wedding photos. I'm hoping I can get a good deal on bump/new born photos from him. If not, I may search somewhere else for a better price but I'm pretty sure I'll be doing them. I want it documented and to remember and show my son how HUGE I got with him!

 

[The Alchemist]

I think it's only some women, regardless of history of births or not, leak before birth. This is my second pregnancy and I'm not leaking (yet, at least).

How's Croatia? Have you been there? Wish I could travel and see a different country. I've only ever visited other states and cities. The first country I'd visit though would be Thailand.

My Sunday bump pic I just took. I may post one later showing my bare belly.
