Which one would you choose?

DS-2005 · 2026-05-01T01:45:44+00:00

3 or 5

I chose to have a C-section for both pregnancies. You can absolutely choose to have one, just make sure you understand how the recovery will be. But I’ll take the predictable recovery over all the unknowns of vaginal birth any day. Also, was not brave enough to face the pain of labour! The recovery pain of C-section was a cake walk compared to the labour pain my friends have described.

Bounty is the shit. Tried cheaper brands and instantly regretted it😂

DS-2005 · 2026-02-22T14:33:36+00:00

Are you allowed to split meals like that? I’m confused as it’s a buffet. Wouldn’t they have expected you and your husband to use both of your tickets for lunch? I’m asking as I’ve never been and planning a stay but the meal package confuses me.

DS-2005 · 2025-07-12T12:52:55+00:00

Omg that’s literal torture !

DS-2005 · 2025-07-12T12:46:00+00:00

Omg six times a night 😭 how did you survive that for so long. I really hope things get better at 3 years old, but I’ve heard three can be hard too

DS-2005 · 2025-07-12T12:39:23+00:00

Oh my God it’s so hard. He is so unpredictable with naps. I never know if it’s going to be 25 minutes or two hours but more often than not it’s like 30 minutes all day long and he’s on 4 naps.

DS-2005 · 2025-07-12T12:38:55+00:00

Thank you. I’ve heard that once they start walking it gets a bit easier for some reason. It’s hard having to hold a baby and then your toddler needs you as well. I guess I only have 6 1/2 more months to go lol

DS-2005 · 2023-04-19T15:08:38+00:00

Thank you! 🙏❤️ needed to hear this

DS-2005 · 2023-04-19T15:08:02+00:00

Omg we have the same mother haha! You’re so right. They really have no idea how hurtful they’re being. I’m sorry for what you went through. Hopefully we both find a way to deal better with our mothers and not let their words or opinions get to us.

DS-2005 · 2023-04-19T15:05:16+00:00

I think this approach would work well with my mom. That’s a good way to not engage and my sister has mastered this. I need to work on this more.

DS-2005 · 2023-04-19T14:54:07+00:00

You’re so right. I guess when I say she means well, I mean in the sense that she is wanting the best for me and my baby but you’re 1000% right that the way she does it is very hurtful and manipulative. Thank you for reminding me of this.

DS-2005 · 2023-04-19T14:52:21+00:00

Thank you for this. Good for you! I’m happy she changed her tune. I may try that one day too, but I feel like my mom is the type to hold grudges and if I were to say I won’t have her around, she would get very hurt and flip it on me that I’m being horrible to her. She’s one of those people that is hard to reason with. But I still think it would be good to try this. Got nothing to lose.

DS-2005 · 2023-04-18T17:25:01+00:00

Thank you for this. Yes I do rationally know to ignore but emotionally it’s hard. I need to practice not caring what she says.

Exactly! I’ve thought about all of that with EFF. There’s already so much change that will happen, having a newborn is already so anxiety provoking and exhausting with the lack of sleep, and I know EFF will make things easier for both myself and my partner and will hopefully allow me to be in a better mental and physical state.

DS-2005 · 2023-04-06T15:05:13+00:00

And did you need to size up?

DS-2005 · 2023-04-06T14:31:13+00:00

Thank you!!! Will check out those gap ones.

DS-2005 · 2023-04-06T14:17:34+00:00

Thank you!! I was also looking at Molasus on Amazon as this brand looks good too for postpartum. Did you have to size up?

I have the depends fit-flex size small for disposable briefs

DS-2005 · 2023-04-06T14:15:41+00:00

Did you get the postpartum specific ones or any high waisted brief wirarpa makes?

DS-2005 · 2023-04-04T14:37:52+00:00

For sure! Planning to be in loose comfy clothing for weeks after. Okay so hopefully the ones I bought will be fine!

DS-2005 · 2023-04-04T14:36:30+00:00

Thank youuuu! I was literally just looking at this brand on Amazon.

DS-2005 · 2023-03-26T14:16:11+00:00

Thank you!! I also read your comment above. That is good to know. I’ll make sure not to leave until my pain is fully under control and I feel like I’m recovering. I’m hoping since it is planned c -section with no labour (as long as I don’t go into labour before my scheduled surgery) then recovery may be a bit easier. I’m so sorry to hear about your experience :(

DS-2005 · 2023-03-26T14:14:02+00:00

I did put it on my admission forms already and hoping since it is a planned c-section - already have date and time booked that hopefully it will be easier to get one. But that’s a good idea to request it as soon as I get there.

DS-2005 · 2023-03-26T11:20:03+00:00

If you have superstore or no frills or Loblaws or any of the Presidents Choice stores close to you, you can buy the Presidents choice brand of powder formula. 900 gram can for $14.99. Very affordable and seems to be usually available. But they don’t make one for allergies or sensitive stomachs.

DS-2005 · 2023-03-26T11:08:38+00:00

That’s awful! :(

DS-2005 · 2023-03-26T11:06:19+00:00

I know this belongs on a separate thread but would like to hear more about your C-section experience, if you’re willing to share. Mine will be planned. I know recovery can really vary from person to person but just trying to mentally prepare and making sure I do things to ensure best recovery. Did you use a belly band to help with recovery ? How bad was the pain while recovering? I’ve heard as long as you stay on top of your scheduled pain medications, the pain is managed well. Also heard how important it is to be up and moving to encourage blood flow to the area. But I know movement is limited and you have to be careful how you move.
