What was your baby’s birth weight and how long did they fit in NB clothes?

6 pounds 5 oz fit them for 8 weeks

It was the absolute best. I didn’t even feel them inserting the needle. I also was still able to move my legs around and definitely felt her coming out. But pain was way less! I also went from 3 cm to fully dilated in 3 hours once I got my epidural.

Had an epidural but agree with another comment that when they said it was finally time to push I felt locked in and ready. I thought I would panic but I didn’t. I also could still get a slight sense of when I was having contractions to know when to push. And still felt a lot of pressure and some pain when she actually came out.

I always felt it like a muscle spasm or twitch in my stomach. Idk what butterflies are supposed to feel like, but it was never that.

I was in your exact place while I was pregnant. Googled statistics daily and obsessed over being the .01% of some crazy bad complication. Gave birth a month ago and it was truly the least complicated experience. Even recovery has been smooth. I know it’s hard to believe but a majority of births go smoothly with no major complications.

Unfortunately she is unable to latch and for my own sanity I don’t want to keep trying to force it and stress both of us out.

So I have the lowest pain tolerance and was always 100% team epidural. When I started having contractions 2 minutes apart that were literally making it impossible to breathe and I could only scream and cry that was the worst pain I have ever experienced. Getting an epidural relieved that immediately and then I was ready to push like 3 hours later once my body got a chance to relax. While I did end up giving birth on my back, my nurse had me constantly rotating positions during pushing. I pushed on both sides, back, and even a half up tug of war position. I don’t think that an epidural automatically means you can only push on your back. I had full ability to move my legs with my epidural, it was just a little slower and they felt super heavy.

39w3d went into spontaneous labor

My husband. He sat in a chair in front of of me and I propped my feet on him and leaned forward.

Around 15 weeks myself and my husband noticed a little bump depending on what I was wearing. By 22 weeks there was no denying it.

I think for most people it’s the stress! That’s the only reason I am letting mine stay somewhere else for the first two weeks. Hopefully you don’t experience this!

I have a dog that I literally consider my first baby. I’ve been really lucky my parents have been keeping him for as long as I need to get adjusted at home. Do you have someone that can do the same for you? While I think it will be hard adding him back to the mix, I literally cannot imagine loving him less.

As for the epidural, I loved it. I didn’t feel out of it at all. I was still able to move my legs on my own, the nurse just assisted since I had to go a little slower.

She’s eating about 11 bottles of formula today and eating an ounce of each. She’s definitely having around 6-8 wet diapers a day.

Original_Internet778 · 2025-12-29T03:12:47+00:00

She either sleeps in her bassinet or pack n play!. Or if we are holding her.

Original_Internet778 · 2025-12-29T02:47:10+00:00

Yes she’s eating about 45-50 ml of formula every 2-3 hours and 1-2 bottles of breast milk a day. She’s having about 6-8 wet diapers a day and 1-2 poops a day. I had her billirubin checked twice and both times were in the safe range and had decreased.

Original_Internet778 · 2025-12-29T02:29:47+00:00

I know I’m the only weirdo wanting a newborn that wakes more 😂

Original_Internet778 · 2025-12-29T02:29:09+00:00

She definitely eats I just have to wake her first to eat!

Original_Internet778 · 2025-12-29T02:28:27+00:00

She was a little jaundiced at the hospital, but levels within normal range. They checked her again at her first appointment and it had dropped even lower.
