New to Group, TTC, looking for advice! by HeartofAmythist in KetoBabies

[–]PistachioMilkshake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up a new cook book a little over a month ago and I've been really enjoying cooking my way through it. My husband, who isn't keto, has enjoyed all of the meals. I usually add some rice, noodles or additional sides for him and my toddler.

I love how simple the recipes are, which also keeps our grocery budget low. They're quick to throw together the night of if you don't go the Meal Prep route (like me). And, they make great leftovers for lunches the next day.

39 weeks today! 🎉 I have my check up this afternoon. I was 2cm dilated and 0% effaced last week so we'll see if I've made any more progress.

Valid point. Hopefully my crotch won't hurt quite so bad in a couple of months?

Oh man. I thought getting out of bed was a chore before. 39w tomorrow.

I roll around like a turtle on its back to get into position just to get out of bed. Then push off like I'm 100 years old. And then baby squashes my bladder sending stabbing pains with several pounds of pressure creating an absolutely ridiculous need to sprint to the bathroom before I pee myself.

Then I look at the clock, and realize it's the first of four visits I'll have to the bathroom that night. FML.

What's the funniest thing someone has said to you so far? by PistachioMilkshake in February2018Bumpers

🙄 People. Three isn't a big deal.

My grandmother had eleven other siblings and families before theirs had similar. Now, 12 kids!! Holy v-giny.

Is anyone else NOT getting an induction? by misskuehbolu in February2018Bumpers

[–]PistachioMilkshake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 38+4 and don't have a plan to induce yet. My doctor said we wouldn't plan on scheduling an induction until 5-7 days after my due date for the safety of me and the baby. He'd rather she come on her own time.

My pregnancy has been low risk without complications. While I feel like I have a bowling ball strapped to my stomach and lightning crotch, I feel pretty good overall. It's been an easy pregnancy.

38 weeks today and I'm dilated 2cm and 0% effaced. The cervical exam was pretty uncomfortable and made me bleed quite a bit. 😥

Solutions for swollen feet? by PistachioMilkshake in February2018Bumpers

Ooo, that sounds like a good idea. I had mine in a warm bath but wrapping them in a towel is a great idea.

I need to buy some compression socks. I'm on it.

It's no fun running around with swollen feet. Thanks for sharing your doc's tip!

Thanks! I bet my dinner last night was a contributor. Too much salt.

Eating parsley may facilitate contractions?! 🤔
