TTC and Beyond!

Yay glad lux is doing so well!

woohooo, Ash! Great news. I didnt know that about water births until now. have to look into this. what are the concerns? are babies getting injured during births?

Huge hugs Katrina, some people are sooo insensitive! Sorry that AF got you, but I'm feeling really hopeful for you this cycle on femara!

Thanks ladies, I'm happy she's doing great too

Amanda- it jut came up lat week that experts are arguing about whether it's a good idea to deliver in the water because of infection. The laboring doesn't seem to be an issue, jut increased chance of infection for mom and baby I when actually delivering in the water I guess? I know for a fact that the water birthing center here is crazy about cleaning the tub and making you shower and stuff before getting in as well as monitoring for infections after delivery and such, so I guess it would depend on the birthing center. They've been delivering babies in water here since 1994 so I mean they have a pretty good record. But the hospital may worry about it being another reason for people to sue them years down the line when something is wrong with their kid and they try and say it was because he/she was born in the tub

oh K, i'm so sorry. i started telling people "well, it's not for lack of trying" or "are you asking me if i'm having sex and how often?". people can be insensitive, sorry sweetie.

 

[Cowgirl07]

It's okay I numbed my pain with candy! Lots of it

I would think that once your water breaks then the risk for infection goes up, whether it's during labor or birth. That's why they limit cervix checks once your water breaks

 

[goldstns]

Ya I asked to go into tub while laboring and they said no because my water broke.

Nikki-Amazingly I still fit in a booth, but it's a tight squeeze. It's hard to eat without making a mess bc I can't bend over my plate. If it's a small plate I bring it to my chest lol

Britt-That pain doesn't sound good...could be gas. I would mention it to doc.

Morgan-I have been having one of panera's iced green teas about once a week for the last few weeks and I'm not dead, so I think you'll be ok lol I don't enjoy regular tea like I used to being pregnant...possibly bc I usually use sweet'n low but splenda is supposed to be safer in pregnancy, so if I have it I use splenda and it just doesn't taste the same.
So jealous you'll get to work from home! I wish there was a way I could do that...

Sarah-Lol I started eating kind of what I wanted after having my glucose test...Usually it isn't too bad though. I figure I'm getting close enough now, it's ok.
I can't believe you are so close. I know you said they wouldn't do a sweep or anything, so I'm guessing pitocin is their method of induction...did they say when they might want to do that? Is there a certain point they don't want you to go past?

Kara-So glad she's ok!

Katrina-I'm sorry those comments got you down...I'm sure they meant well. And besides, you'll have your own very soon

Thanks ladies! I came home and did exactly what Rachel suggested. Laid on the couch, drank lots of water and relaxed. I feel a lot better this morning. I will stay on top of my water intake, but I will mention it at my next doctor appointment on 4/4.

Ashlee- Glad Lux is doing good!!

Katrina - People are so insensitive. Glad your candy helped =]

 

[Cowgirl07]

The first one (appropriately named "raptor baby") makes me laugh every time.

 

[RobertRedford]

[clynn11]

What do you use to edit your pics Amanda?? Leah is so cute!! I love seeing her pics on my fb/ig feeds!!

 

[wavescrash]

Aw thanks.

On my phone I edit with Squaready and Instagram (obviously.) On my laptop/pictures from my camera I use Photoshop.
