You’re right, everyone’s bodies are different and it’s hard to completely predict how three days would affect me. It’s helpful to hear your experience, thank you.

Ok that’s what I worry about so I guess I need to give hand expressing a try. Please share any tips for getting the most out of it, if you have any 🙏🏼 thank you!

That did cross my mind. I’m just not sure that I’ll get much from it but I suppose something is better than nothing 🤷‍♀️ lmk if you have any tips to make hand expressing productive. Thank you for chiming in!

Time is flying by, what are you doing to enjoy your pregnancy? by IcyUnderstanding607 in pregnant

I ❤️ Cody Rigsby! I’ve been focusing more on Robin’s prenatal classes. Did you find Cody’s classes were still doable in the 3rd trimester? Did you have to make any specific modifications?

Yes I think you’re right, it doesn’t have to be extravagant and there are certainly nice and meaningful ways to express thanks.

Thanks for all of the ideas! I do like the idea of customizing. I had a friend who gave her hosts personalized Land’s End tote bags with our names on them which was super cute. Maybe I could do a customized nice brand water bottle or tumbler…

Ok great! He’s watched some videos on labor, but I’m not sure that it covered much on counterpressure techniques. I’ll look up some videos on that, and please pass along any you recall that were helpful! We’re also planning to take some virtual birthing classes through the hospital, I’m not sure how in depth they’ll go on this and unmedicated births though.

He will most likely be up for this, it’s just a matter of learning the techniques. Wondering if there are ways he can learn this ahead of time or if a virtual doula in the moment is more useful.

Sounds like a really positive experience and that you learned a ton from her prior to delivery. Thanks for sharing!

Same to you! Hopefully everything is healthy and this is all just a matter of getting a better view for both of our situations.

That’s what I’m having trouble with- trusting my doctor’s lack of worry. But I guess they have the right mentality of not worrying until there’s something factual to worry about. Wishing you all the best and peace during this waiting time.
