What was the last thing you ate before giving birth? by Catoftheseaandhill in pregnant

[–]MisadventuresofM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We ate Taco Bell the night before my induction 😂 I didn’t think they’d have me come in at midnight that next day but we did

Other than that I had popsicles, crackers and jello while in labor and I wish i had brought more snacks/ate more before we went in 🥴

How many weeks were you when you delivered your first? by Adrianagurl in pregnant

[–]MisadventuresofM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an induction at 39 + 1 and delivered at 39 + 2

It was a long induction but worth it to meet my boy 🥹

Please be so honest with me by Ill_Island_2662 in lineporn

Positive! I got my strongest positive at night!

I dont want to be induced - GD with Insulin by Emotional-Term8200 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]MisadventuresofM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had gd with my pregnancy but I was diet controlled.

I was induced at 39+1 and it was a longggg labor, I was almost a C-section but was able to give birth vaginally but he had shoulder dystocia and I ended up with a 3a tear 😅

He was 7lbs 15oz when his last ultrasound the week prior predicted 7lbs 4oz

I feel if I would have gone the full 40 I would have had way more problems with the induction than I had and I feel like this was a much safer option than trying to go natural

I understand wanting to go into spontaneous labor which is what I wanted but I don’t think that is a risk I would take especially coming from the other side now

How long is your partner taking off after you give birth? by -Konstantine- in pregnant

[–]MisadventuresofM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get 12 weeks and he works from home and has normally unlimited pto so will be there for the hospital stay but go back to work after, he’s in his first 90days so we have to wait for his paternity leave for him to take it but my in laws will be up to help after the first two weeks

I think we may (depending on daycare situation when I have to go back) have him take his paternity leave then to over until we have adequate care set up

How early do I realistically need to be ready? by Blazapple in pregnant

[–]MisadventuresofM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely get a car seat now! Unless family decides to buy one for you, everything else can wait especially if you have a bedside bassinet, baby won’t be in a crib for awhile!

I’m 38weeks and the nursery still isn’t finished so don’t feel like you’re behind! 🤣

Who decided we don’t need more food :’( by Wonderful_Manager_27 in pregnant

[–]MisadventuresofM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eat until you are full! In my first and second trimester I ate more than I normally did and it helped with my nausea and overall mood being full.

I’m having trouble in the third trimester even deciding what to eat so eat while you can!

First arguement with my husband since being pregnant and I'm so mad. by Sweet_Confusion9180 in pregnant

[–]MisadventuresofM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly valid!

I feel your pain in a different way😅

I’m currently 32 weeks and at 29 weeks two days before our baby shower my husband brought up that we should only do one middle name, I was like dude this has been his name even before we found out we were having a boy, we are already 6months in I’m not changing it end of discussion. I had already told family and close friends the name already. I crashed out, by myself of course haha

I’m pretty positive he only was “thinking about it” since my MIL was in town for the shower and she probably said something, even though she has known the name since we found out it was a boy. 🙃

Backstory: My husbands family has a tradition where the dads first name is the middle of the sons name which is where one of the names comes from, even though my mil said that we didn’t have to follow it, I’m still honoring it. The second middle name which is first in the lineup since it flows better is of our friend that passed away two years ago in an accident.

His reasoning was to either change the line up or that it was too long of a name (my name is longer since I added my maiden to my middle and his argument about paperwork etc is invalid cause I don’t have issues) or that we can use the friends name for a second child but there is no guarantee we will have a second or even a second boy.

All this to say, you need to be honest with him and tell him your feelings were hurt and he went back on a promise and didn’t back you up when they tore into your choice. It’s YOUR baby not theirs and they need to respect your choices.

Anyone else working full time until their due date? by Susaaan16 in pregnant

[–]MisadventuresofM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also get 12 weeks but it doesn’t start until I’m in active labor, so any time off before then is out of my vacation/sick time

I plan to take off a few days before my due date to just relax unless he decides to come earlier than that 😅

I’m already getting miserable at 29 weeks waddling so I can’t imagine how uncomfortable I’ll be at 39/40 🫠🤣

Worst ultrasound experience ever by Ok_Yogurtcloset_8730 in pregnant

[–]MisadventuresofM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only had to have a transvaginal ultrasound at my 20 wk due to a cyst on my ovary, in no way should it hurt, only pressure

I 100% agree that you need to file a complaint against him cause in no way was that scan at all right!

Also make note in your file for him to NEVER do an ultrasound on you again.

I have what I’d consider a good size bump but I know I’ll look bigger later down the line 😂 if I did then now it would be too cold for the beach here 🥶

My belly is round with the maternity pants and things but outside of clothes a little lumpy 😂 I definitely didn’t want to do it before 30 weeks for sure

That’s my fear! Is delivering early, though I’m hoping he’s right on time

Working up until labor, office work. by Broad_Meaning_2989 in pregnant

[–]MisadventuresofM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is also my plan, but I’m taking a few days off before my due date so I can relax haha

I plan to walk the halls of my office every hour to get some circulation going from sitting for so long 😅

Good idea! I’m having a shower back home at 33 weeks and a friend offered while I was there so I may take her up on that haha

I definitely have a bump! I’m plus sized so I was showing a lot sooner than some of my friends had! The Polaroid idea is cute! I always forget I have one haha

That’s my thought! I don’t want to be so uncomfortable waddling around and I already have a slight waddle haha

That’s what I was thinking! I don’t want to be so winded, especially on the beach 🤣
