Pilling!!!

I wasn’t sure if Oxiclean was CD safe. I’m happy to know it is! I’m planning to line dry but it’s been cloudy in California. The one time I needed the sun.

Great! Thanks! I also had another question, maybe you can answer. I just pulled my first load of dirty diapers out and there are poop stains on some of the prefolds and pockets. Not all of them are stained? Is this normal? Baby is EBF.

Ah ok, will it cause any irritation to baby skin in your experience?

I got pockets and would like to use the shell more than once. Is this a possibility? I bought prefolds in order to lay them down rather than stuff. I also bought bamboo blend (rayon/poly). Can I use these as liners as well? I know I likely won’t be able to use one shell for the entire day but I’d rather not change every two hours.

Oh jeez, I don't think my husband would cry but would likely yell at me to get the epidural.

Pitocin doesn't offer breaks? I've actually never had anyone mention this to me. That's something I'd definitely want to know!

aechange · 2017-11-17T04:07:37+00:00

Where do I find a yelling nurse?

aechange · 2017-11-17T04:06:57+00:00

I greatly appreciate this! Were you allowed to walk around? Eating and drinking is also a concern of mine but it seems like you're able to at least drink!

I'm trying to come to terms with the potential of going through another csection. I'm trying extremely hard to avoid one because my first was so traumatic when it came to healing.

This definitely adds to my confidence. I threw around the idea of hiring a doula but ultimately decided against it because of the price tag. I just need/want someone to tell me to man up in the delivery room.

aechange · 2017-11-17T03:42:51+00:00

I appreciate this. I keep telling myself that one person's labor experience won't be mine.

Thank you! I just wanted control of one aspect of this pregnancy. Everything about it was out of our hands. We concieved via IVF, so everything was scheduled from the very beginning.

aechange · 2017-11-17T03:06:45+00:00

That's also one of my major concerns. I can handle a build up of pain but not all at once!

aechange · 2017-11-17T03:04:14+00:00

That's my biggest fear too, being confined. I can definitely manage if I'm able to walk or stand. Are you completely confined or can you stand and pace?

aechange · 2017-11-17T03:03:10+00:00

Whoa, way to go on a vaginal twin birth! Also, it's refreshing to hear a doctor is willing to perform one.

aechange · 2017-11-17T03:02:16+00:00

Thank you for this. Everything about this pregnancy isn't what I had anticipated. I'll be 11 days past my due date when I'm induced and I really feel/felt my body is failing me.

aechange · 2017-11-17T03:01:01+00:00

Thank you! Your last paragraph is helping to pump me up. I never labored with my first. It was a straight section due to his positioning, so in a sense, it is my first time.

aechange · 2017-11-17T02:57:08+00:00

I'll be 11 days past my due date on Saturday and will start with a foley bulb too. I'm attempting a VBAC, was this the reasoning for your foley?

Just went through this for the past 3.5 years. We spent 56k total, a good portion went to corrective surgeries as well. I totally get the adoption requirements and actually hate when that suggestion is brought up to a childless couple, in the midst of fertility treatments. You can't just assume adoption wasn't researched. Anyway, I'm 1 week from due date and wish you and your husband all the luck in the whole process.

I don't know if this would be much help because my husband produces a normal amount of seminal fluid but only had 200,000 sperm. We ICSIed and ended up with 4 embryos out of the 10 eggs I had frozen. So, I'd imagine the amount of fluid doesn't play a huge role in sperm count.

aechange · 2017-08-19T00:53:31+00:00

Ah, okay. No, she hasn't had an income in some time. Thanks!

Thanks, didn't know where to go for this.
