U.S. Mommies To Be

[lisaf]

Sometimes the birth canal can widen during labor, they never really know until you are in labor.
It is safer and easier to recover from a planned csection, but it is still major surgery so shouldn't be chosen as an option lightly.
It might be easier to go a week late, and then go back to work after fewer weeks of recovery than to only get 6 weeks to recover from a c-section.

Bummer about working for a small company though

hey ladies who had there LOs already.....
did your hips still hurt after shrt walks after having the baby?
kaydence is 3 weeks old already and when we go for shrt walks like a few blocks my hips hurt pretty bad. i dont think there is anything i can do about that but it would be nice if i could

 

[lisaf]

My hips didn't hurt from walking, but my pelvis would click and grind when I rolled over in bed. It took a couple months for that to stop.. it still happens occasionally

I now get lower back pain if I happen to get the lucky chance to sleep in
I also can't lie on my back on a hard surface because my lower back/butt hurt really bad like my spine curved more while pregnant.

well just cause ur family has all had small birth canals doesnt mean u will. my mom had 2 c-sections my brother and me. my brother was an emergency c-section and was WAY over due but at the same time she doesnt know what contractions or braxton hicks are. She never had them. With me i was a schduled c-section and never had contrations or braxton hicks with me either. but yet in my pregnancy i went into pre-term contractions at 24 weeks pregnant. i always thought since my mom had to have c- sections that i would but at this rate its not looking like i have to. the only time my doctor said sometthing about a c-sec to me was at 30 weeks i asked her when i should be concerned about Aaryella being head down because she has been breech the whole time. and she said we will start checking ur cervix at 35-36 weeks and if we are concerned that she is not head down being that they can feel the head when they check. that the'll send me to an ultrasound and if the ultrasound proved that she was still breech we would schdule one.. but at the same time i always kno theres that chance of an emergency c-sec!! but good luck!!

So cute Missfox!

I am hoping that the pain in my hips ease after he's born, even if it's just enough to help me sleep at night, that would be enough for me

[bbygurl719]
