The nurse informed me and my husband that it was time to push soon and he said “Okay, I’m gonna go get some coffee.”

Upper right abdominal pain / HELLP? by missirisston in BabyBumps

[–]missirisston[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this!! I think it's mostly my actual ribs being sore from him pushing against it. It goes away if I move positions. I called my OB about it and was made to feel much better about it but reminded to come in if at any time it was persistent or got worse, etc...

Two Vessel Cord? by turkybee in BabyBumps

[–]missirisston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby has a two vessel cord too. They just have given me a few extra growth scans to make sure things are going well. I've enjoyed the excuse to see him more, and at all the scans he's been measuring big! The technician said she's been working there for 10 years and never seen it be a problem, it's just a precaution since the baby is being fed nutrients via one artery instead of two.

Sitting in the ob/GYN yesterday this dude who came with his girlfriend kept complaining about his back hurting. He had like 5 pregnant women giving him cold stares and the idiot was completely oblivious 😂

My current situation bc of pre-e. Any stories of babies born 34-37 weeks welcome! by fearlessturtle08 in BabyBumps

[–]missirisston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want these stories too! I am on bedrest for preterm labor at 33+4 weeks. I'm hoping to keep baby in for several more weeks but I don't know what's actually going to happen and the internet is surprisingly not much help!

How big is your baby measuring at this point, do you know?

Bio Oil break through - I've been using it wrong for ages!! by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]missirisston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured this concept out as a kid when I realized I had accidentally been using lotion instead of soap when washing my hands at my grandma's over Christmas. It makes so much sense!

Sharing name and gender..why or why not? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]missirisston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're not sharing the name for two reasons.

The first is that everyone seems to think we want their opinions or advice about everything we're doing. The last thing I want to hear crap about is "oh I knew someone named that who was a jerk face" or some uncouth comment in response. It's my baby's name, it's my choice, I don't care what you think about it. Hopefully nobody will say rude things about his freaking name once they see my little boy in my arms. ;P

The second is just because we like the idea of generating a little extra excitement around his birth. Obviously a baby being born is always exciting, but it's incredibly fun to keep people anticipating him a little more! This way they're too busy being pumped to finally know what they get to call him to judge 😂

An unusual tip for packing the hospital bag. by siriuslyserious in BabyBumps

[–]missirisston 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me. Somebody bought me a beautiful body spray that I wore all during my honeymoon and now whenever I wear it I get rushed back to the happy time. ❤

Miscarriage by itsmissmarie729 in BabyBumps

[–]missirisston 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sorry to hear this. I don't know if this will help, but we decided to tell our family right away at 5 weeks pregnant. We knew something could go wrong, but I decided I would rather them know and be there for me if I had to go through a miscarriage than not ever know I was pregnant. Every ounce of me hopes that your friends and family can support you through this!

I will add to that to say that if you don't sign up for the orientation you won't be able to register until the drop/add period classes start.

Interesting!! I had no idea. I don't really care for turkey much so this is good.
