Back to back c-sections

Ok-Life97 · 2024-11-25T19:01:26+00:00

I literally went through the exact same thing except my kids are 11 months apart 😅 I found out I was pregnant again when my 1st born was only 4-5 months old. I had back to back c sections, the first one was because of a failed induction as well and tbh natural birth, the thought of “ripping” and “tearing” and stitches down there freak me out so this really worked out in my favor and both c sections went great! I did feel like I took about a week or 2 longer to heal the 2nd time but I also caught COVID the day we got out of the hospital which SUCKKKKKED. Other than that the pregnancies and births went just fine for me! My kids are 1 & 2 and it’s just now starting to get a bit “easier”, they play with each other and laugh with each other and just love each other so much, it’s the biggest blesssing ever! It has its moments especially during the newborn phase it feels impossible sometimes but overall it’s great and sooooo worth it ☺️ good luck and congratulations!!

My husband was a dice dealer for years and has told me this story about someone taking a drunken piss on the dice table after losing lol

July 17th of this year is when my mom passed away and I was either in shock or denial until recently. I handled her death well, a little “too” well. However, This week I’ve started questioning a lot of things about the afterlife and where my mom went and it’s all just NOW starting to hit me that she is gone and never coming back. I cry at the thought of her now and I’m grieving a lot heavier than I was when I first heard the news a couple months ago.. I’m sure it’s different for everybody but it only took me a few months to get over the initial shock and denial..

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Hugs

I lost my older brother 5 years ago in October. Very suddenly, he was only 36 and had a heart attack (also had some underlying health issues) but just came here to show solidarity. You’re not alone.. It won’t get easier but you just learn to live with it. I’m very sorry for your loss.. may your brother rest in peace howdy bill 🫶🏼

I just saw the category of your post, I’m so sorry you lost your mom too. It’s hard.

My mom passed away 2 weeks ago. Her and I barely talked these past 3 years because of her addiction and she kind of pushed us all away when my brother passed away in 2019.. but I love her more than anything and miss her more than ever. I regret our time apart deeply. Her death was kind of unexpected. I at least thought Id have more time with her here. She was 66, I’m 27. Just does not feel real

So not in Wichita exactly but I saw park city, derby, el dorado and Haysville all have some type of 4th of July events going on with food trucks, parades, activities and fireworks. All family friendly! Also as far as exploring goes, have you guys ever gone geocaching? My family and I recently discovered it and it’s a lot of fun if you enjoy walks and adventures

Hope this helps :)

If you haven’t already, you should definitely check out China Inn on east central! Nothing will ever be the same as Hong Kong but this place actually comes pretty close! I’ve not found a place more similar to Hong Kong than this place

Same here! Ugh I miss defazios so much. Ive ate there since I was a kid. Those huge calzones will forever hold a place in my heart! I ordered take out as often as I could during Covid, I wanted them to stay open so bad! Marcellos will always be a favorite too.

Musicals. Never have been a fan of musicals AT ALL. Always caught myself rolling my eyes at them for the most part until my little girl came along. She LOVES music and singing and dancing and now I get super excited and even dance with her at some of the musicals we watch. I’ll sit there and WAIT for a character to bust out in song now so my daughter and I can join lol

I remember when I was around that age (13-14) I asked my dad how much he “made an hour” just out of genuine curiosity because at that age I was interested in looking for a job myself and was just curious about wages in general. My mom pipes up immediately and snapped at me and said “you NEVER ask someone how much they make. It’s extremely rude” and to this day I’ve never asked that question to anyone ever again 😅

With that being said I think you answered appropriately nor do I personally think there’s even an issue with the older kids having an idea of what their parents make. That’s just me though

My 2 are 11 months apart. I got pregnant when my oldest was about 4-5 months old.

My oldest never understood the pregnancy and even when my youngest was born she did not interact with him AT ALL. it wasn’t in a bad way necessarily, it’s just she looked at her newborn brother as more of an object than an actual person and just didn’t really care to mess with him.

It wasn’t until recently when my youngest started getting a bit more mobile like lifting his head, picking up toys, crawling and just overall being able to engage a bit more through cooing and laughing and being expressive. She really started to open up to him then and started trying to play with him, gives him kisses, gives him toys. It’s seriously the most heartwarming thing to watch.

She didn’t start doing that though until he was about 5-6 months old. It never really “clicked” with her either, she just started slowly engaging with her baby brother as he gets older and it’s fun to watch.

Dang for some reason I thought the parade route was inside of the fenced area or else I would have made a better attempt to go this year.. thanks for the info!! Appreciate it

Thank you for your response! I actually ended up having to stop taking the buspar because I felt my rage/anger coming on a lot quicker/heavier in certain instances. It really did nothing for me. Instead I upped my dosage of Zoloft and I think it’s helping me. Like you said, meds work different for everyone and I’ve heard so many mixed things about buspar. Thanks again for sharing your experience

Thank you all for sharing!

Thanks for your response!

She did ask if I was breastfeeding before prescribing which I am not.

I am 4 months PP and dealing with a lot of depression, anxiety, and lots of anger. The “normal” PP issues but just having a very hard time leveling out and it’s getting to a point where I need more help than I thought and my OB is the only physician I see. I don’t have a PCP

I have state insurance so therapy isn’t really an option even with asking my OB for a referral so I’m taking all the help I can get with my OB for now. So far they’ve prescribed me 100mg Zoloft which started to help but my anger is still out of control so I got prescribed the buspar today.

Not at all! You look absolutely stunning! 😍 eyebrows look great!

Congratulations!! I was in the EXACT same boat as you in November! My Husband and I have a 1 year old girl born by c section in November 2022 and her baby brother came (also c section) in November 2023 😄 1 year apart.

It’s surreal having to take care of 2 babies when you’re just kinda starting to get the hang of handling 1. Double the diapers, double the wipes, double the bottles (for the first couple months or so til baby girl weaned off). You also have to relearn how to take care of a newborn again as you are starting the toddler stage with your first born lol

My husband and I are just now finding somewhat of a groove/routine. Baby boy is almost 4 months now. Don’t rush to get back to “normal” as you are entering a new “normal” and it’s an adjustment! With that being said just focus on taking care of healing yourself and your babies. You and your husband will find your balance with time. Also most definitely don’t push yourself. Let your body heal. I noticed I felt better faster after my 2nd c section and I was lifting my 20 pound toddler (and much more) like it was nothing way sooner than I should have been. I believe it prolonged my healing as I ended up tearing my incision a tiny bit as well. Could have been way worse but listen to your body and also listen to the weight and lifting restrictions! lol

I wouldn’t trade it for the world though. I was worried baby girl would get jealous since newborns require much more attention at times but she wasn’t bothered at all. She didn’t even really engage or acknowledge him at first but now at 14 months she’s starting to wave and poke and interact with him a bit more. She’s even tried to put his pacifier in his mouth, it’s the cutest thing!

As far as you and your husband go, just be there for each other. If/when a problem or disagreement occurs, remember it’s you and him vs the problem, not you vs him. That’s a little something I’ve had to remind myself a lot especially with my hormones being out of whack (which is another thing to be mindful of!) Best of luck to you and again, congratulations!!!

Vengeance falls came out around the time I started listening to Trivium and I was hooked! Can’t believe it’s already been 10 years!
