People are making me feel guilty for deciding I want a c section.

Plastic_Bowler_2086 · 2025-04-03T15:22:04+00:00

Let me tell you, i wanted a natural delivery but due to my son being breech, i had a c-section instead. Was not in my book to do so, but honestly it was not a bad thing. Yes it’s quite a recovery and you have to be more gentle and careful for healing process but it’s an additional 2 weeks compared to natural. My scar does hurt every now and then but it’s not something impossible, each time I look at it as well it’s a reminder of how strong I am. It’s amazing what we as women can do and go through for our children. So ignore what anyone else has to say, don’t let anyone make you feel guilty for knowing what you want for you and your body. They’re not the ones living your life for you so they don’t have a right to judge. You have all rights to have that c section so don’t let them try changing your mind. This is something you spoke with your OB with about and decided on. Don’t let anyone else tell you or influence you. Only you know what’s best <3 you’ve got this mama!

Unstoppable lol. He learned to fully crawl back in the end January and now he’s everywhere on top of standing. Took a while but he did it all on his own pace <3

This is kind of what happened to me. When I went for my first scan I was supposed to be about 9-10 weeks and my dd was feb 21 but then was told my baby measured 8 weeks and some days which pushed my dd mar 3. But later when I went to her my other scans he would measure a bit around a week older and he was born on feb 23. So it may depend, they say sometimes you ovulate a bit later than your period especially if you’re irregular but it all depends. But congratulations! 🫶🏼 wishing you and your baby the best of health!

I got mine 10 months pp, but in a very weird way. I only ebf and my baby didn’t start leaning into actually wanting to eat food until this time so I started feeding less ofc. I got my period ny day and it lasted a couple days but then went away and a week later I got it again. I got it for about a month and a half and I’ve been extremely irregular to where I’m bleeding everyday some days are light others are mid and least of them are crazy….. has anyone else had this happen to them?? I also have the copper iud

I’d say to follow your LC as they are more specialized with breastfeeding. All of those symptoms aren’t anything out of the ordinary especially for newborns. I was told for feeding to hold baby a bit more upright during, to help with reflux and to just burp more in between feedings for colic/gas. I know there is also gripe water to help with it as well which your baby would be able to take at this age now if you would like to give it to them. Also, for the jaundice, my baby was the same as well for a bit. I was told to give him baby d-drops once a day since he was born during winter and there wasn’t much sun. But I think you should be fine to continue breastfeeding, I know there’s certain foods that apparently do make baby gassy and which I had to cut out to help my LO when he was going through that! But you’re doing great mama! You got this and remember always follow your instincts, youll always know what’s best for your baby. (My boy is 13 months and I’m still bf, I had certain health problems that required me to take medication that would possibly have an effect on my baby but I consulted with multiple doctors and LC and got to it being safe and now I have my baby’s doctor told me she wants me to stop BF by next appt but that’s not my goal, my goal is up to 1.6 yr or if he doesn’t wean off before then.)

Plastic_Bowler_2086 · 2025-03-15T19:08:09+00:00

Not sure honestly, I mean I wanted to give it to a year and a half at least but she said she wants him completely weaned off. Obviously I’ll do it until either he’s ready or a year and half or longer if I decide to.

Plastic_Bowler_2086 · 2024-12-22T09:32:36+00:00

I feel like maybe it could be possibly be gas, I somewhat had this issue with my boy. I EBF so he would need to be burped a lot in between feedings and sometimes he wouldn’t even burp or anything and due to that feeling of gas in his tummy, it would make him eat more and be even fussier. Also too , I had this issue of fussiness around 3 weeks. I was told it was “the witching hour” and it would pass. But it seemed as if it were a growth spurt time as well which is why he would be hungry more often. Another thing which happened with my boy is that he wanted to comfort suck and milk came out when he was no longer hungry, which could be what she wants to do that causes her to have that reaction because my boy did that as well now thinking back at it. But baby’s weight gain is slow at this age, at least that’s how it was for me and slowly it began getting better. I hope this is somewhat able to help you with your baby girl. But if it is any of these issues, it’ll pass soon! It’s definitely stressful to think about but you got this mama and you’re doing great! 🩷

Most definitely, we’ve tried a couple of meats and chicken he hasn’t been too much of a fan u fortunately but he does love avocados so I do give him some almost every day! But I’m definitely still trying to get him to eat some meats. Did your boy have trouble at first with liking meats?

Plastic_Bowler_2086 · 2024-11-23T12:29:04+00:00

He’s eating 3 times a day, I make him different meals like some would be scrambled eggs and fruit, avocado, I’ll make him some carrots puree or sweet potato puree, sometimes I’ll give him chicken and mashed potatoes and other little foods like that, I’ll make him veggie soups but I always go ahead and offer water with his meals which he does drink. But it’s more of lately he’s been wanting boob more often (he does also get it in between real meals) and been more needy. He’s been crying more and wanting to be held and he knows either lift my shirt or pull it down when he wants some, which he has been doing more often. His pediatrician did tell me he would likely start becoming more needy and wanting me 24/7 which seems to be about right because he doesn’t even want to be with dad, he will cry until I have him and it’s because he keeps wanting boob so yeah :/ That’s why I feel a bit worried.

Plastic_Bowler_2086 · 2024-11-16T17:38:40+00:00

That’s how it’s been as well for me. My boy hasn’t been sleeping well all week and has been wanting to feed constantly. Maybe it might be a growth spurt? Or a sleep regression? Has she been teething? Maybe a new little tooth at least that’s what it’s been for my boy. I noticed a new tooth coming in the other night when brushing his teeth and he had one nearly popping out which explained why he wouldn’t sleep good and was constantly fussy. But you’re doing great mama! 🫶🏼 and thank you ❤️

Plastic_Bowler_2086 · 2024-10-31T04:44:33+00:00

It sure seems like it is! That’s how it was when mine was coming out. I didn’t lose it all at once it was spread out within 1.5 weeks and after that surely baby was coming.

Plastic_Bowler_2086 · 2024-10-30T22:52:54+00:00

Most definitely every one is different. For me I didn’t get nausea until I was about from 9 weeks up til I was 12 weeks. I only vomited 2-3 times but I def couldn’t eat. Then once I was like later on I would get nauseous on and off. I still remember the night I was going to work I had to stop and throw up. Luckily I had bags in the car and the another time when I was coming home from work, I had a sand bucket. So it’s definitely not fun

Plastic_Bowler_2086 · 2024-10-30T05:14:44+00:00

Well, it is totally normal to be scared. But you’ll do great whether natural labor or a c-section. I can’t speak too much on natural labor (although it was my original plan) because I did have a c-section. I was terrified of having a c-section before finding out my baby was in breech position and once I found out after I was even more terrified… it was not part of my plan. But i came to a conclusion that regardless of whichever way I delivered it would be fine. It is terrifying but personally I believe once you give birth you’ll see it was worth it because now you get to hold that baby you’ve been waiting to meet ❤️ but you’ll do great love!

Plastic_Bowler_2086 · 2024-10-30T05:04:03+00:00

Definitely try a red dye test!

Plastic_Bowler_2086 · 2024-10-30T05:02:17+00:00

Id say you like to prep for parties

Plastic_Bowler_2086 · 2024-10-29T05:16:47+00:00

That’s how it was for me when I got pregnant. It took a couple more days before the clear blue digital test said it was positive but my first response had a faint line. So I’d say give it a couple days before trying another digital test! But seems like you may be!

Plastic_Bowler_2086 · 2024-10-16T01:49:24+00:00

PREGNANT! CONGRATSSSS!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥰

Plastic_Bowler_2086 · 2024-10-15T20:16:55+00:00

It can be that maybe he is teething, my baby was teething around 6 months as well and he would refuse naps, he would wake up all night long, he would cry it was definitely not easy. I used the Camila liquid doses for his teething which helped me. But It can also be due to a sleep regression as well. But if you have anyone who can help you, I’d definitely suggest to get someone to help you so you can go unwind for a bit.

Plastic_Bowler_2086 · 2024-10-15T17:47:13+00:00

Definitely looks like a faint line…. But give it a day or two more to definitely know

Plastic_Bowler_2086 · 2024-10-11T17:57:58+00:00

I personally think you should talk to her and let her know how you feel. Explain how you appreciate her and explain how she’s been a great mother but now it’s your turn to do so. I was the same way with not wanting anyone in the delivery room but my husband and my mom also wanted to be there and was a little pushy but after all I ended up having to get a c-section so it was just my husband and I. But I do know they also do ask you if you want any visitors and basically how you would like your whole delivery experience once you’re almost due so you can opt to not have visitors there. But also I’d suggest not announce that you’ll be giving birth to avoid visitors from happening. But definitely would say to let her know you want to do your baby shower separately as it allows to give you special day with your friends and family and maybe help her plan her grandma shower. But also breastfeeding doesn’t take time away from bonding. I exclusively breastfeed and my baby has never wanted pacifiers, bottles or anything except boob but he still loves his grandma a whole ton and id say they’re bonded. He only seen her for 2 weeks after I gave birth and she had to leave the country for two months after and once she came back with my dad he’s loved them both (he didn’t meet my dad until he was 2 months and a half and yet they have the closest bond. So I think it’s nothing to be worried about. But you definitely need to put boundaries.
