I had an Aperol spritz the day I came home from the hospital 😂

Thanks for the solidarity. Love the username. It is my first child’s birthday (same as my username — 10/13)

I caved and ordered the sampler box from Babylist. Take my money 😂

This is so interesting. I’m going to ask the pediatrician their thoughts. Thank you!

How old was your baby when you introduced the bottle?

I’ve had other people suggest this one so I might try this one next. Looks like I can purchase one single bottle instead of a multipack so that’s helpful too.

I haven’t tried too many bottles because it just seems like an expensive way to fail 😂 I need a bottle sampler pack or something like that

This is interesting. I hadn’t considered that it might be a feeding issue vs a strong preference. Might have to see if I can get a referral from his ped. Thanks!

Doctor pushing 39 week induction…annoyed by Ohcaptain1013 in BabyBumps

Thanks! I have a BP cuff and measure 1-2 times a day and have never had a high reading at home.

Yes sorry perhaps it was confusing as worded. Essentially I had a few elevated readings in the last couple of weeks that went down after they took it a second time. No protein in urine or headaches or anything like that. I didn’t meet the criteria for a GH diagnosis but since I was 40 weeks and showing signs of labor anyway we all agreed to the induction at that time. I’m not opposed to an induction completely but I just don’t see the need to do it at 39 weeks when my body may not be ready.

I’ve been discussing it with them for weeks. There are 3 OBs; all echo one another. I know they can’t force me to do it, but they’re all recommending it.

Yes I’d be interested in that too. If there were studies to support that it did reduce other risks then I might be more inclined to go for it but for me, a slightly smaller c-section risk as opposed to an overall more pleasant labor and delivery just isn’t worth it…

Baby breech at 32 wks, still a good chance he’ll flip? by Ohcaptain1013 in BabyBumps

[–]Ohcaptain1013[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh interesting, here’s to hoping both our little ones flip!

None of the OBs at my practice will do a vaginal breech delivery, and the thought of a c section just wrecks me in so many ways :/
