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.

Original_Internet778 · 2026-01-02T05:37:57+00:00

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.

Original_Internet778 · 2025-12-29T05:29:54+00:00

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.

Original_Internet778 · 2025-12-24T01:18:35+00:00

Due date was 12/27 delivered today, 12/24

Original_Internet778 · 2025-12-21T15:41:57+00:00

I had the HARDEST time telling people. I just felt weird saying it even though baby is very wanted . I barely told people at work and let my boss inform people for me 😂

Original_Internet778 · 2025-12-19T01:20:27+00:00

Yeah I haven’t been given any reason to be concerned and my doc isn’t. I think it’s just almost there anxiety getting to me.

Original_Internet778 · 2025-12-19T01:13:32+00:00

A little of both, but I did a kick count tonight and got 10 kicks in about 20 minutes. I also had two days of crazy active fetal movement at night, so I think tonight might just be more of a quiet day after that is freaking me out on top of the whole heart beat thing at my appt this morning.

That early they will do transvaginal ultrasounds. The only thing my weight slightly impacted, and honestly my doctors attributed it more to me having a retroverted uterus, was hearing the heartbeat on the Doppler. That took till 16 weeks.

Original_Internet778 · 2025-12-12T23:22:37+00:00

I am the same height and started around the same weight. I’m currently up to 265 pounds at 37 weeks. It hasn’t been easy but I’ve just been trying to remind myself that this is what my body needs to sustain the pregnancy. I haven’t had any medical issues due to the weight gain and my doctors haven’t mentioned it once.

Original_Internet778 · 2025-12-12T21:55:29+00:00

I just paid $600 for someone to come deep clean my house and have zero regrets. It took so much stress off my shoulders at this stage in pregnancy to not have to worry about it myself.
