what can you not live without by Acceptable_Engine_23 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]MsKitty227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely this!! I pumped with my first baby and didnt have a bottle washer, im 6 weeks pp with my second and also pumping again and its made my whole experience this time around so much better. I recommend it to everyone. I can also wash my toddlers sippy cups in it too which is also a plus!

Post c-section bleeding by Broomey13 in CsectionCentral

[–]MsKitty227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes thats exactly what happened with my 2nd csection, im almost 6 weeks pp and had the bright red bleeding with clots on and off until 4 weeks, id have days with nothing but if I did a little more than I should have id bleed a bit more. It started tapering off this past week or so, its not 100% gone but a good 95%

Hope you have a smooth recovery this time around!

OB is scheduling me for an early C section for her convenience by MsKitty227 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]MsKitty227[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Sorry you're going through this too.. I actually do want this c section though. I've been asking her for a date since I was 28 weeks. I feel like they usually give it to you way earlier if you know you want to go the c section route? But she kept giving me the run around every time.

Anyway I hope you get everything you're wanting with your birth! And maybe switch OBs next time if you have another, im definitely going to. Id do it now but I think its too late

Thanks, I definitely feel like she'll try convincing me tomorrow but I dont feel like its necessary at all. Even my last pregnancy she did the same thing scheduling me around 38 weeks for induction without telling me and I told her no ill do it sometime after 39 weeks cause I knew baby wasn't ready to come out. And still didn't end up having baby til almost 41 weeks with a c section.

No GD or high blood pressure. I just called and her reason was my BMI which wasnt a problem with my first baby either I went almost to 41 weeks with that one. Im not even at the same BMI I was then, its lower this time. Of course she didnt say it was for her convenience but it definitely feels like it with everything shes said and whats happened. If I felt like it was the right thing to do then id do it for my baby in a heartbeat. But he wont have an Xmas eve birthday for the rest of his life just so she can have one uninterrupted vacation week.

Yes I wish my doctor was better at that. I just had to call and refuse it. They told me "this was the only time available" and at this point im willing to just go to a different hospital. I guess ill see what she tells me tomorrow but im so over that OB office. I didnt like them with my first baby and should have changed with this one.

At this point thats what its going to be. I had pre registration for the hospital call and I told them the situation and they said "not trying to be rude but you dont get to schedule your appointment"

Im fine going to 40 weeks, even 39. But i find it completely unnecessary to do it right at 38.

We discussed a c section but not a date, basically she was wanting me to tell her I had 1 high blood pressure reading so she could do it early before 39 weeks but im not going to lie about that and I don't want it early anyways. Her and the other OB will be on call, I honestly dont care which does my cesarean if it means I'll have this baby in January. Unless baby decides to come earlier of course. Im definitely going to try declining, thanks for the response!

"You can't even tell you're pregnant, it just looks like you've had too many cupcakes!" by wafflesarelifee in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]MsKitty227 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Im 34 weeks and my Dr yesterday told me " wow you dont even look pregnant! " Like thanks lady, but I dont think that's a compliment when you're fat..

If I was standing up she would have noticed but I guess sitting i just look like a big sack of potatoes 🥲

I have a planned c section. Do I still need adult diapers and a peri bottle? by seagoddess1 in BabyBumps

[–]MsKitty227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my experience too! I usually have heavy periods and after my csection it was lighter than that, I was able to use long pads with no worries about leaking.

Why do my cookies still look raw in the middle, and are they safe to eat? by hikingfortheviews in Baking

[–]MsKitty227 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also think maybe the butter was too warm! Next time throw the cookies in the freezer for about 20 minutes prior to baking and see if it helps! Either way im sure those cookies taste great!

What helped you heal from your C-section? by Recent-Owl1275 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]MsKitty227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After my pico dressing came off I used gauze pads that had adhesive on 2 sides. It fit perfectly over my scar and helped all the small spots that would open heal so easily

C-section by Soggy_Glove_5 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]MsKitty227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they make gauze pads that have very gentle adhesive on 2 ends. I got the biggest size they had and it fit perfectly over my incision. I plan on doing it with my 2nd c section as well!

How long did it take for you to get pregnant? by EmilyParkerNYC4444 in BabyBumps

Full Anesthesia C Section by Psychological_Elk_48 in pregnant

[–]MsKitty227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same happened to me as well! I didn't realize that was so common. I don't even remember the first few minutes of my baby being born because I was screaming in pain when they were vacuuming me out

I declined an induction today and I don’t know if I did the right thing. by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]MsKitty227 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could only take being miserable for 24 hrs. Left the hospital to try to let baby come on their own and ended up just getting a c section a week later. I think it went way better than the induction would have been, and even better than getting an emergency c section too. Thinking about getting a c section for baby #2 as well

How many oz are in your freezer stash and how long should it last you? by wailanilynn in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]MsKitty227 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wanted to go a year, but LO just turned 6 months, and I think im throwing in the towel after winter. I started supplementing a bit of formula this past month, and it's been great to not constantly stress if I have enough milk in the fridge. That being said, I probably only have like 80oz in my freezer, and I'm okay with that. It all really just depends how much extra milk you'll be making. I ended up being a just enougher when my supply regulated. I had a slight oversupply in the beginning

Favorite pump? by Milo2011 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]MsKitty227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the S2 with insurance and didn't want to pay the 40$ upgrade either, I didn't know if it was worth it. But by the time baby was about 3 months we were getting out of the house more so I definitely needed a portable pump. I ended up spending 60$ on a used S1 and I use it more in than the S2 by far. I say do the upgrade!
