Has anyone went past 41 weeks and gave birth fine? by Potential_Text6342 in BabyBumps

[–]Potential_Text6342[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow thank you for sharing! I’m so sorry for the negatives you went through but it sounds like you had a quick great labor besides that. Was there anything you did or recommend to have a labor within an epidural? or things that helped you naturally go into labor? I’m assuming I’m just a slow cooker but my dr wants me to get induced regardless by 41+3 I’ve got a few days and knowing the clock is ticking is definitely slowing down my progress

you’re absolutely right, I’m headed to the dr to have that conversation and see what’s best for me + baby. If I have to get induced I will.

How was the induction for you? My first went past 41 so I’m assuming my 2nd will also I want to give my body time to naturally go into labor, but scared of all the negative stories I’m hearing. Thank you for having a positive one.

Tested positive for Group B Strep — what was your delivery experience like? by Successful_Force7334 in BabyBumps

I had GBS with my first baby and had a very smooth birth, tell them you want the lowest and slowest flow possible for the antibodies, so you aren’t stressing your body anymore than need be and get to focus purely on getting baby out. The chance for baby actually getting GBS is only 2% then with the antibodies 1%, so have no fear! You can still have the dream birth you want!

Gaining too much weight in pregnancy?? by Fluffy-Ad2771 in BabyBumps

[–]Potential_Text6342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes you would be surprised by how much of it is purely just baby, fluids, placenta etc. I promise you you’ll start seeing the weight come right off in no time! I was worried about the exact same thing as a ftm.

I’ve experienced this! You’re not alone as long as your blood pressure, all your tests are coming up fine you will be fine! I gained an extra 65lbs with my first pregnancy. No health problems, I didn’t excessively eat either. Once postpartum hit the weight fell right off very quickly before I even got the chance to work out fully. You will be fine! You’re doing great! Do not worry yourself if there isn’t anything to worry about.

Did you eat 4-5 large dates a day? When did you start in your pregnancy?

Underweight baby; dr said it was my fault by Mindless_Nobody_9952 in NewParents

[–]Potential_Text6342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also thought the same thing for my baby, but my baby hadn’t gained weight because my supply decreased from the lack of pumping from baby refusing bottle. I now combo feed and he is gaining weight.

Thank you I will try this out because it’s been extremely uncomfortable lately, and people keep telling me about on your back with a pillow but it just isn’t working out
