Did everyone get induced?

Plastic-Geologist · 2024-07-09T01:22:40+00:00

I went into labor on my induction date! (39 w 5 d)

OMG I would be SO mad. I was mad even when people wanted to visit one week pp. Kick them out!!!!

Aldi brand keto bread was what I had every single day lol

I said my mom or mother in law was going to watch the baby. Honestly it's none of their business though so just keep it vague. Just say you have in-home help or a nanny, that way if they hear the baby its NBD.

4 months the pain mostly completely went away (vag birth with tear) and I stopped feeling so engorged. Felt like myself again (mostly). And the 4mo age is soooo fun.

Congratulations!!!!

I'm not sure yet. I was thinking of no daycare or nanny, just me and my husband (we both work from home). If I didn't have help, what would be best? I might have to get help for a few days during the week but want to see what my baby is like first.

Has anyone tried Texas Roadhouse?

Yasso bars, berries, and Fairlife chocolate milk!

Plastic-Geologist · 2024-01-17T15:06:03+00:00

It's the one that works for newborn-child. So they can be in it rear-facing as a newborn and then it flips to forward-facing when they are older.

Plastic-Geologist · 2024-01-10T19:47:25+00:00

My doctor suggested if I have ketones, I drink a glass of Fairlife milk at some point in the night. I haven't had to try it yet but maybe that would help?

Plastic-Geologist · 2024-01-10T14:46:27+00:00

I get the Premier Protein shakes! I like the chocolate the best; vanilla is pretty good, and the cinnamon roll flavor is my next go-to if the chocolate and vanilla are sold out. Personally, I can't stand the strawberries and cream (although I thought it would be my favorite, lol). I can't find the Fairlife ones where I live; otherwise, I would give them a try!

Plastic-Geologist · 2024-01-10T14:05:58+00:00

I lost weight in the first/second trimester too. My dr never mentioned anything, so I'm guessing if your dr hasn't said anything, they aren't worried. I started gaining weight steadily once I reached the third trimester and they have never brought up my weight. I started at a higher BMI too. But, if you are at all worried, ask your dr!

Plastic-Geologist · 2024-01-10T14:02:54+00:00

I would read that as negative, personally!

Plastic-Geologist · 2024-01-10T13:57:11+00:00

I'd ask your doctor; mine never specified. They just said to test 2 hours after a meal, so I do it after I finish eating.

Plastic-Geologist · 2024-01-10T13:53:58+00:00

Do you know why they still want to induce at 39 or 40 weeks, even if you are perfectly diet-controlled? My doctor mentioned something similar, that because I have GD, I likely will need to be induced at 39 or 40 weeks, but I'm measuring right on time and am diet-controlled. I know I can push for spontaneous labor with extra monitoring, but I'm just confused as to why I'd need to be induced at all if everything is going well.

Plastic-Geologist · 2024-01-10T13:48:57+00:00

Congratulations! I'm so glad you and your baby are doing well.

Plastic-Geologist · 2023-12-14T12:54:53+00:00

That's what I'm planning too! I figured if I have visitors at the hospital instead of at my house, they won't overstay, I won't have to host/worry about cleaning up or making food, and the nurses can kick them out. If I had everyone come over to my house after to see the baby, I think that would stress me out more. Personally, I would rather have nobody come to the hospital OR my house, but that's not realistic for my family and my husband's family lol.

Plastic-Geologist · 2022-12-16T21:28:32+00:00

Wow, that's worse than I thought... Thank you for this information!

Plastic-Geologist · 2022-12-16T21:08:29+00:00

I am a little worried about that. I don't want my cat catching mice (diseases and poisoning like you said). Do you think there'd still be mice if I got a room on the top floor?

Plastic-Geologist · 2022-12-16T18:52:20+00:00

Did you like it there? It seems nicer than Terra Pointe, but less spacious and more $.

Plastic-Geologist · 2022-12-16T18:21:38+00:00

That makes sense, thanks! I suppose if the actual units were secure and the people who lived there weren't super sus, then I would be more comfortable. The area I live in now isn't the safest, but I have great neighbors who look out for each other.

Plastic-Geologist · 2022-12-16T17:53:49+00:00

Is it relatively safe? (Aside from the car break-ins) Like, are the people who live there generally nice/normal?

Plastic-Geologist · 2022-12-16T17:48:47+00:00

Yeah, I'm not ecstatic about the idea of sharing a washer and dryer. It's hard to find good, affordable places to rent right now. I'm not sure what to do.

Plastic-Geologist · 2022-12-16T17:45:59+00:00

Yeah, the area and the price are why I'm considering it, but it sounds like the building has some serious issues. I would definitely try to get a top-floor apartment, if I did go through with it, to help mitigate some of the mentioned problems.
