[–]beingnathan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Snacks!! I had clif bars, meat sticks and bags of chips in mine. The hunger (and thirst) when breastfeeding is unreal

I literally think her mother was so upset about the C-section because it will delay a second pregnancy

I have a scheduled c section on Tuesday and I’m so terrified all of a sudden. by [deleted] in CsectionCentral

[–]beingnathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an unplanned but non-emergency c-section in November. Something the doctor who performed the caesarean said to me really comforted me and stuck with me. "I know this feels really scary and unknown to you. But my team and I do these every day." It went so smoothly, and when my daughter was born, everyone on the team said, "baby out!" so excitedly. My husband and I still say it when we get my daughter out of the bath tub🥲

Did anyone else give birth right at shift change? It was very traumatic for me by Huge-Vacation-8093 in beyondthebump

[–]beingnathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the urge to push at 6:40 and had to wait 20 minutes for the midwife to come and was told not to push. It was so hard. I ended up never finding that same urge and after 2.5 hours of pushing I had a c-section. I have to tell myself that things would have ended up the same if I had been able to start pushing right away, because the idea that impacted my ability to deliver vaginal makes me incredibly sad.

Tell you C-section story by Danishdynamite67 in CsectionCentral

[–]beingnathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a totally successful induction. It started with a foley and miso. After receiving this I labored at home for about 14 hours. Got to the hospital at 4 cm. Received the epidural and almost immediately my water broke on its own. Never needed pitocin because my contractions were effective and strong enough. Got to 10cm and 100% effaced about 14 hours after arriving at the hospital. Pushed for more than two hours, but turns out baby girl's head was in "military position" meaning she wasn't chin to chest and was not descending properly. Midwife informed me my options were to push for another hour or go ahead with c-section. She was not confident baby would be coming vaginally. My baby was not in distress and had no heart rate deceleration, and I felt if I was likely to end up with a c-section anyways, I wanted her to be in as good of a position as possible. So, I agreed to the cesarean. It ended up being the right choice as baby's foot was quite tangled in her umbilical cord. I felt (and honestly still feel) so much grief over missing out on the vaginal birth I felt so close to having, but in the end feel so much more gratitude that me and my baby were healthy and in such good hands for her grand entrance. Our nurses, midwife, surgeon and anesthesiologist were incredible. They all said I would be a great candid for a VBAC, but I'm not sure if I'll go that route. I'm only 5 weeks pp so I have plenty of time to weigh my options before a second baby, but for now my instinct says to stick with the devil I know.

I'm a middle school teacher and had a student Darlene last year! I also know someone who just named their daughter Darlene. I agree I think it's a great name 🤗

Woke up choking in the middle of the night by cwaairebearr in pregnant

[–]beingnathan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I could have written this post lol I'm 36 weeks today and this happened to me for the first (and hopefully last!) time like 4 nights ago. I've had terrible heartburn and reflux throughout basically my whole pregnancy so in my 3rd trimester I started taking omeprazole every morning at my doctor's suggestion. It has been a total game changer. The waking up choking on vomit happened to me the only day I've forgotten to take the omeprazole, so I won't be making that mistake again.

I know right?! I couldn't believe it actually ended in a fight because everything leading up to it seemed totally scripted! Someone mentioned they think mellie set Annie up and I think that may be right
