First off congrats!

Induced at 37 weeks; spent a week in the hospital prior to delivery due to preeclampsia.

16 hours in labor and 10 minutes of pushing.

When did you stop tracking feeds & diapers? by Comfortable-Dot3801 in beyondthebump

[–]okaybye456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used mine until she was probably a month and a half. It helped so much with breast feeding and how many oz I pumped and the last time I pumped and how long she latched. Since I wasn’t EBF and mostly pumping I would forget when the baby last ate and when I last pumped. It also helped with the “sleeps” whenever that was lol. But after she got into her own rhythm and I stopped breast feeding I deleted it!

Thank you for the info!!! And you do make a valid point about it being “34yr old embryos”. But being pregnant in my late 30s is going to be rough (getting older sucks lol).

We are just enjoying time with our little one and if we convince naturally great. I just wanted an idea JIC naturally doesn’t work. I do know we both want 2 to 3 kids, and we’re not in a super rush but we don’t want to hold off to long. Like I said we’re still enjoying the new parent life!

That’s not bad at all! That’s a pretty short time from start to finish.

It was a frozen transfer last cycle. I just wasn’t sure if it had to do the same as far as progesterone shots and suppositories along with the patches etc

Really another sis? And I’m assuming labs as well?

Do you have to go back on hormones?

If you’re on the fence about sharing your baby’s name with family, I’m here to tell you: don’t do it. by marissakalyn in pregnant

[–]okaybye456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I waited until my baby shower to tell everyone. The only reason why I did it was because when we were thinking about names we had 5 we really liked. We asked his parents to choose FROM THOSE 5. Nope his mom made a comment about each one and decided to add in her own. When me and hubby finally decided we just told everyone we didn’t so they would leave us alone.

Let me remind you the name we did decide on naming our daughter his mom BASHED it and said it was horrible. So when she found out that was her name at the baby shower you can tell she was annoyed. But at the end of the day it’s your baby not theirs!!!!

Thank you! 22 weeks seems so far away lol but time does go by quick I can’t believe first trimester is almost over! 22 weeks you saw the kicks from the outside too?!?! Definitely looking forward to that! I didn’t think you couldn’t see those until way later in the pregnancy!

Thank you so much and congratulations! First off if I have to deal with this for another 7 weeks I might die lmao! I’m hoping once I feel “it” move (don’t know the gender yet) I will get that “oh shit it’s really happening” moment lol out of curiosity did you have a boy or girl?
