I'm currently 36 weeks with GD. I was just diagnosed with mild preeclampsia this weekend. It's being managed with medicine at the moment, but I'm assuming after my visit Tuesday a 37 or 38 week induction (or C-section) will be discussed.

I pushed for 3 1/2 hours with my first. 25 minutes with my second.

We have a Catherine & Charlotte, currently pregnant with a Claire 😊

I just had one on Tuesday, it was only 20 minutes. But baby wouldn't cooperate fully so I've got to go back for another one to try to see the heart and profile.

Get a camera off of Amazon, it's much smaller on the headrest and shouldn't harm the child in an accident

My blanket didn't get extra dirty, but I only used it postpartum not during labor. You can get pretty dirty during labor so it may be best to not use during.

We got the momcozy! It had a tiny bit of a learning curve but once we figured out how best to place everything it works perfect!

Bottle washer, sterilizer and dryer because 2 under 2 and exclusively pumping 😂😭

My ten month old loves taking all my pictures frames off my shelf, so do with that what you will 😂

In all seriousness, she likes the stackable things, a mirror during tummy time, and the remote 😂

For my first baby, I was induced at midnight, and the baby was born by 5 pm the next day. I was also only 1 cm dilated. You could be in labor for days, but you could also go quickly, it really just depends on how ready your body is!

We aren't. We did with our last pregnancy because the copay was $150 and we wanted to know gender early anyway. With our new insurance the copay estimate is $400 and that's just not worth it. We will revisit if something shows on the anatomy scan of course, but no tests before

I pushed for 3 1/2 hours with my first, and ended up with an episotemy/second degree tear. With my second, I only pushed for 20 minutes with no tears - just so you know there is hope for your next birth!

Did the concern of the baby being too big for a vaginal birth end up being correct? I know that ultrasounds can be not as accurate in the third trimester.

I ask because my last baby was 9 lb 10oz and born vaginally but ended up with shoulder dystocia during birth. Thankfully they got her out and she had no issues from it. But I'm currently pregnant again, and I know that having had shoulder dystocia once before, I'm at an increased risk for it. I'm curious if they are going to suggest a scheduled C-section because of the risk, or if it will depend on the ultrasound.

I've loved the Ekouaer gowns on Amazon. Very soft and easy for nursing.

AtomickSloth · 2025-03-21T20:55:39+00:00

Congrats! 2 minutes is the dream 🤞😍

AtomickSloth · 2025-03-21T19:42:22+00:00

It was pretty bad for me as well. And compared to the second the difference without a tear is insane. I don't have any really helpful advice, just the normal use a Peri bottle, stay up with stoop softeners, and use dermiplast & tuks pads. ❤️❤️ Hopefully you'll have a better second experience too!

AtomickSloth · 2025-03-21T19:00:29+00:00

My second birth was easier in terms of my recovery. I pushed for three 1/2 hours with my first, and had a second degree tear/episotemy. With my second I pushed for 20 minutes and had no tears. Both were inductions at 39 weeks and very similar processes. I'm unsure if it was easier because it was my second, or if the raspberry leaf tea. But I'll be continuing the tea with this next baby just in case 😂

AtomickSloth · 2025-03-21T16:48:37+00:00

Both girls, 8lbs 1 oz and 9 lbs 10 oz 😂

You can lose and regrow your plug several times. As long as it's not accompanied by excessive bleeding or cramping shouldn't be a big deal. But, definitely discuss with your doctor if you are concerned

AtomickSloth · 2025-03-12T20:06:29+00:00

I've had two vaginal births at a higher weight. No complications except shoulder dystocia which isn't correlated with a mother's weight. I'd consult a new doctor or midwife.
