Finally had time to do this.
1. Where all your PG the same? If not explain.
No. With my first, I was sick all day long every day for the first 3-4 months. I was just nauseous with the other 4 and vomited only once or twice in all of those put together.
2. What were you cravings like, any crazy ones?
Well with my first again, I craved dirt at one point. Lol. I was cleaning the windowsills in my mothers house and could smell the dust and remember thinking how good that smelled. I did not give in to my craving, but it lasted for a month or so. I also craved lemons. I love them anyway, but I wanted to eat them all the time. I have a feeling I was low on a mineral of some sort.
3. With which one were you the most horny? (that's right I asked )
I was insatiable with all of them, from shortly after BFP to delivery date, but the last one seemed even more so. It was constant. And when Im pregnant DH changes from wanting it all the time to not needing it so much. Hes always worried about how Im doing, and if Im feeling okay, and if we will hurt the baby, etc. His mind just turns it off. Weve had this talk already this time. I hope it worked.
4. With any did you gain too much weight?
With all of them I guess. I gained about 40 pounds with all my singletons and about 60 with my twins. Its always gone within a couple months of breastfeeding though, especially breastfeeding twins. It fell off fast!
5. Did you have any complications with any of yours, during PG?
With the twins, I had borderline gestational diabetes because of the 2 placentas. And I had preterm labor at about 34 weeks, but an overnight stay in the hospital on magnesium sulfate did the trick. I had them at 37 weeks and 2 days.
6. What was the longest you were in labour, and shortest?
I guess my twins wouldve been the longest. My first three lasted about 15 hours. But with the twins, my uterus was so stretched, it took longer for the contractions to work. I started having regular contractions at noon on Tuesday, about 6 minutes apart. We were out all day, and they werent getting any closer, so I figured it mustve just been the stress of walking around. When we got home that evening and I rested, they continued at 6 minutes apart. I called my doctor, and she told me to go to the hospital so we could go ahead and make sure I had them the next day. I had them a little after 11 a.m. Wednesday.
My shortest delivery was with my youngest, about 8 hours.
The beginnings of labor take forever for me, then once I get to about 5-6 cm dilated, it only takes about an hour before delivery. This has happened every time.
7. Did you have a natural birth? Or did you epidural it?
With the first two, I had an epidural. With the third, they didnt believe I was in labor, so they had me waiting, and when the anesthesiologist came in to ask if I was ready to get one, he had to deliver the baby instead. I loved it! I felt much better afterward, and it seemed to me like I healed faster. I wanted to have the twins without one, but my doctor wanted me to have it for all the just in case scenarios so I did. Well I gave birth without one anyway because when they moved me around from bed to operating table (wanted me in the OR in case of an emergency), the epidural pulled out.
8. Any complications with delivery?
With the twins, after giving birth to Baby A, my cervix began to close back up. By the time the doctor handed her off to the nurse, I was back down to a 5. Then they couldnt find Baby Bs heartbeat anymore. My doctor asked me to try to push him out even though I had closed up. I sat up and tried once and said I cant. It hurts. My doctor leaned up on my knees and said Crystal weve got one chance to get him out, or Im going in after him. She said she would help with suction and that it was gonna hurt because my cervix had closed back up. The only thing I could think was if she has to go in after him, since my epidural is gone, theyll give me general anesthesia and I wont be able to see my babies. She used the suction, and I sat up and pushed without a break until he was born limp and making no sound. They had him crying in about 30 seconds. It was so wonderful to hear him.
9. Were your OH's very supportive? Or did you have extra support?
With my first two, my support team was my mom and sister. With the rest, my mom was still there, but my DH was very supportive. He is a man so, of course, when I was emotional or something, I didnt see him that way all the time, but he really was always there and helpful.
10. The true reason you want another? (be honest even it sounds a bit selfish )
I just have that feeling again, like it's time. I dont know how to explain it. I love pregnancy, giving birth, breastfeeding, snuggling, watching them learn, seeing the wonderful people they grow up to be, their distinct personalities I could go on and on.
