U.S. Mommies To Be

Tearing or cutting is not a guarantee... not all women tear. Not all tears are bad either.

I think pregnancy prepares you for gross things bit by bit. I actually woke up choking on vomit the other night (from what I have found online, it was probably related to acid reflux even though I didn't have noticable heartburn and don't suffer from it much in general).
There are some GREAT things I hear about after giving birth... that its just so wonderful and amazing to be able to hold your pee for more than 30 minutes etc, lol!

I've had one horrible heavy period that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. And you know? It was gross and a huge pain, but there are many grosser things I've dealt with. And I survived... its not really something you can avoid, you know? And some women have it very easy, just one day of heavy bleed then spotting.

All the issues afterward are just inconvenient. Like it was said everyone is different but it's one of those things that you just deal with when it comes.

I didn't really have a ton of bleeding after birth. I had spotting but mine lasted 8 weeks or so.

I had to put my dog Tyson down this morning. He was my baby and im distraught no one saw this coming. We just thought he ate something like a sock not that he had liver cancer throughout his abdomen and liver .

Hi

 

[MissFox]

Aww JNA I am sooo sorry to hear that. That is such a horrible thing to happen! Nothing can prepare you for having to make that decision. I"m very sorry for your loss.

 

[lisaf]

aw JNA, so sorry! That is so rough... I wouldn't know what to do without my furbabies!

 

[hopefulmama]

JNA so sorry to hear, that must be so hard

 

[JNA]

Thanks for the support ladies. I feel so numb. Have to go to the dr because I can't hold any food down. Wish I would have known our day together were numbered. He was my baby and I never imagined life without him. Sorry but he's the only thing on my mind right now.

 

[MissFox]

It'll be that way for a long time. They truly are your baby. I still have nights where all I can think about is my dog and I still cry for her.

 

[camishantel]

JNA I know it is hard hun I have been there and even though it has been about 10 years since I had to put my first one down I still cry every now and then..

 

[luckyme225]

Are any of you girls doing a hospital tour?

 

[MissFox]

I'm curious about doing one- I mean- I'm delivering there but I don't really know what's going on, lol

 

[luckyme225]

I wasn't going to but the closer it gets to time the more curious I get. With my son I didn't have one but the hospital had a virtual tour so I could picture everything in my head. My close friend did the tour and liked it but she can only explain it so much. I've been to the birthing suite once before but it was years ago and I didn't try to examine anything closely because I never thought of the fact that one day I might deliver there. All I remember is the beautiful view.

 

[MissFox]

Yea- my hospital has NO PICTURES online so I can't see anything. I'm goig to talk to my Dr about it when I see them next.
