Where's Raych- I have random questions !

I am taking bra & knicks for the pool birth if I get to use it but what happens when u get out?

Did u get passed Eden first whilst u were still in for a cuddle and then get out, covered up and on the bed?
Not sure maybe it was a bit different for u as u had the bleeding? That still makes me shiver !

Also until u got in the pool did u just wear a nightie and did u put that on as soon as u got to hosp?

I think after you get out of the pool, you're sopping wet and look ridiculous and don't care because you have a BABY!!!
But yeah, probably Rachel is better off answering that one.

Had my appt today-- everything is good-- and I got my section date-- Feb 22! I go in at 11 am and they expect to start two hours later... don't know why it takes so long, but whatever.
Only 34 days away!!

Jen-

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Trying to decide if it's worth it to get DS ready and go out to Taco Bell... I think I would kill for some right now... Oh. my. gosh.

If we're going, we have to go soon. DH will be getting up for work around 3 and will probably want to take the car since it's better in the snow.

Hmmmm... chalupa... taco... nachos... [drool]

 

[QueenVic]

Yay Jen exciting to have a date set !

How many weeks/days will that make u ? (too lazy to work it out)

 

[AmaryllisRed]

I'll be 39+3.
A little nervous about having a baby that's not fully cooked... especially since DS had to be kicked out at 41 weeks... But at least I'm sure about my dates this time around.

 

[FloridaGirl21]

I'm craving some fruit right now Jen! I haven't had any for a week or so now cause I haven't wanted to even look at it, but all of a sudden, I could really go for some cantaloupe! The thought of Taco Bell though is making me wanna And I usually LOVE Taco Bell!! weird

Vicki! Can't believe you're already a couple days over. Your pregnancy has gone SO fast! FXed pickle doesn't keep you waiting much longer

Jesse was really happy that he went, his mouth dropped when he saw their little hearts flickering, then he couldn't keep the smile off of his face. He says he'll be there for the next appt too, it's on our 4 year wedding anniversary

 

[AmaryllisRed]

I have lots of those little Dole fruit cups left over from when I was craving fruit and eating like two a day! I'll send them to you. I lost interest when they started tasting like butter to me. Yeah, I'm weird.

 

[FloridaGirl21]

ohhh, that reminds me that I've got Mandarin Orange fruit cups!! yay! thanks, ganna go grab some now

I just wore a bikini top in the pool. When the baby comes they get passed up through your legs for a cuddle and skin to skin. If everythings ok you can stay in there for a while, keeping baby warm in the water and bonding until you deliver the placenta (unless you want to get out and have the injection to deliver it). When you get out you have towels to dry you - depending on the facilities you can go straight in to have a quick shower to clean up, and then dry off and get into whatever clothes/pj's you've brought in.

I went in at 6am so I was wearing my nightie and some black pj bottoms (not to be gross but because my waters had gone the pj bottoms kinda soaked up any leaks that were too much for the pad, rather than me walking through the hospital with it dribbling down my legs). I'd definitely say put on pjs/ comfy clothes before you even get to the hospital (you can put a coat on over the top if you're worried about people seeing during the day) - by the time you get to hospital you're probably not going to be wanting to pull yourself about getting undressed and redressed only to get undressed again if you go in the pool. It's all about making it as easy as possible for you. Hope you get your water birth, it was honestly a wonderful experience for me even with what happened after (and if anything like that DOES happen, they're totally prepared for it and you're in the best place to be well looked after )

 

[Traskey]
