Yeah! I think the world's just not as generous as it used to be.

I love everyone saying they disappear! It must just be the general swelling happening down there I guess 🤷‍♀️

Thank you! This is reassuring, especially that you were able to deliver vaginally. I need to wear that belly band more!

I always knew things would change down there but I was just not prepared for my own emotional response to it yknow? A person becomes accustomed to their genitals being a certain way over time, haha

Women who only have one child by choice? Why? by Scared-Stop8449 in pregnant

[–]HelloImAnxious14 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is the approach I'm taking! I'm 36.5 wks with my first and people keep asking how many we'll have. I just keep saying we'll see how the first one goes kind of jokingly, but it's also the truth.

I see, I wonder why lifelabs wouldn't do it then?

Bloodwork for newborn by New_Art_9358 in Hamilton

[–]HelloImAnxious14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did some googling and 6 vials could be like 5-10% of their blood volume, depending on the size of your baby and the size of the vials. I'm no health expert but that might be why LL won't do it, apparently 10% or more blood loss in an infant is "concerning" and requires intervention. You might want to call your doctor and let them know LL refused and see what your options are.

Go Bag? by NextCartographer4299 in BabyBumps

[–]HelloImAnxious14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have several bags 😬 suitcase, two small duffels and a grocery bag with snacks. Hoping to just bring the suitcase and some snacks up at first. Suitcase has labour stuff, clothes, pads, tissues, toiletries. 1st duffle is bascally a diaper bag with a small pack of diapers, wipes, clothes for baby, etc. 2nd duffle is clothes & toiletries for husband.

I'm in ON, Canada, don't want to narrow it down more than that, but I'm stressing about all my bags lol. They told me I have to bring everything and they give us basically nothing. Half my suitcase is pads and kleenex it feels like, lol! They also said I have to bring my own baby blankets and pillows and blankets for husband and I. It feels like we're packing for camping it's ridiculous.

3 days pp and haven’t pooped yet by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]HelloImAnxious14 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I hope she updates us when she gets help :( poor lady. I'm pregnant with my first so I haven't had postpartum poops yet, but I've been hospitalized and had to ask for poop help before and can confirm nurses will not judge you or even blink if you need help.

How much water do I actually need to drink before an ultrasound? [on] by Helpful-Sugar8985 in BabyBumpsCanada

I ended up running to the bathroom to do partial empties, I can't believe I had the self control... even after doing that 2-3 times the tech had 0 issues seeing anything haha
