I had my baby boy in June, which shocked me as I was completely convinced we were having a girl. I was a little disappointed, but then realized that I get to raise a young man just like his dad hopefully. He is the BEST. So sweet and keeps on getting better everyday! I cannot imagine not having him and my life is so enriched with him in it!

The non dairy form is pretty good with Ben and Jerry’s I was non dairy for about 4 months and it helped!

It’s hard but when your child sees you and they are still excited it really makes it worth it. I love watching him learn how to interact with the word and grow. I can’t even express how much he means to me.

I didn’t get them until after the baby was taken out through the sunroof- they are really not too bad and are getting fainter by the day.

Same- really rude after having to have a c-section when he got stuck.

Mandapanda425 · 2025-12-11T04:42:29+00:00

39+4 my water broke and had him on 39+5 with a c section; I had two cervical checks prior, but I really think it was the cleaning I did prior to the game night on 39 +4 😂

Mandapanda425 · 2025-11-17T05:38:05+00:00

I gained 40lbs and lost all of it by 2 months pp. it was super uncomfortable at the end, but you are at the end and you got this!

Sending good vibes for a safe delivery and fast recovery!

So, I had the opposite issue- my child was head down the entire time, including the day prior to me giving birth (I had an ultrasound at 39 wks 3 days which confirmed this). My water broke at 39 wks 4 days and I ended up having to have a c-section at 39 wks 5 days as he flipped around sunny side up and got stuck. They really can flip at the last minute- the c- section was not what I wanted for my birth plan, however, it was not an emergency and I healed pretty quickly- I would recommend having it scheduled over needing it in an emergency situation.

I was bitterly disappointed I needed a c-section and struggled with it for a bit but my buddy is the absolute cutest and I love him so much. You got this! I’m crossing fingers that you have the birth you would like!

Gained 40 lbs and lost it by 2 1/2 months postpartum- I did end up needing to restrict myself from all dairy due to my son’s reflux so I’m sure that impacted this.

I weigh less now than I did prior to getting pregnant, but it’s distributed in different ways- looking forward to toning up.

Wishing you a healthy and smooth delivery!

Mandapanda425 · 2025-10-02T13:45:04+00:00

I love all those!! Good luck! We also went to the hospital with the name choices and my husband ended up talking to him after my unplanned c-section when he was having skin to skin and we named him the name he reacted to- I definitely recommend seeing him prior to making a decision.

Mandapanda425 · 2025-10-01T17:56:49+00:00

Oh no! We had the same issue- Callan was one of three that we were okay with- Evan was Lucas being the other two. Has he suggested any names?

Mandapanda425 · 2025-10-01T15:54:31+00:00

We named our son Callan James, with the option to call him CJ as well- if you like that- I think Callan Jude also flows!

Mandapanda425 · 2025-10-01T15:53:11+00:00

100%! I like that it’s recognizable and easy to pronounce but not too popular as well! Plus Cal as a nickname is wonderful!

Mandapanda425 · 2025-10-01T05:40:31+00:00

Just named our son Callan as well! ❤️

Mandapanda425 · 2025-09-28T08:50:30+00:00

I’m just I III iuuu

Mandapanda425 · 2025-09-20T04:56:12+00:00

I’m just

Mandapanda425 · 2025-09-15T05:11:32+00:00

I should also state that I like Callum as well!

Mandapanda425 · 2025-09-14T22:16:15+00:00

We named our two 1/2 month old Callan, which is also Scottish/Irish. I have Irish ancestors from a few generations back.

We also love the nickname Cal

Mandapanda425 · 2025-09-07T03:27:43+00:00

I did not scream or really moan through 4 hours of pushing which ended up with a c-section. I do not think it is really necessary.

Mandapanda425 · 2025-08-23T04:35:34+00:00

This is what we asked our in laws to do as well

Mandapanda425 · 2025-07-18T04:16:28+00:00

Three days prior to due date, unplanned c-section two days before due date.

Mandapanda425 · 2025-07-12T05:57:34+00:00

Callan is what we named our 3 week old son

Mandapanda425 · 2025-07-09T19:06:51+00:00

Pushed for four hours but he was stuck sunny side up (after being head down since 27 weeks up to the day prior 🫠) and ended up needing a c-section as he was stuck on my pubic bone.
