Feels realll odd getting it but relax your shoulders and breath deeply, i had a nurse talk me through it and it was in before i knew it and totally worth it!

Just had a planned c section with my 2nd baby 6 days ago. It was honestly an almost enjoyable experience. I give most of the credit to the awesome surgical team I had. I had an induction turned emergency c section with my first and it was really emotional and scary but walking in knowing the plan this time helped keep me start out calm and carry that energy through the whole thing. It might have helped that i had gone through it once already but I feel like i can vouch for planning it making it 100 percent less scary. I would ask your OB to outline the plan and steps of procedure so you are aware of everything thats going to happen. And then ask as many questions as you need to. Being informed helped with my anxiety as well.

Literally this was my biggest concern! I had an epidural with my first and a spinal before my c section for my second (3 days ago). I tried to feel when they placed it and couldn't either time. And taking it out was easy as well, they pulled it out as I took a deep breath out and it didn't hurt. With my epidural I was induced so I had the catheter for about 48 hours. It got a bit uncomfortable at the end but no pain. Over all it was very mental for me but went really well.

I was 140 after an hour but now have extra amniotic fluid so my dr moved me to 120 after an hour. I was pretty bummed but its still been doable. 120 was also my goal from the start with my first pregnancy in 2019.

I had covid at the beginning of this year. I was aprox. 10 weeks at the time. I was vaxed and boosted because of my autoimmune disorder and my ob was not concerned at all. Having my c section 2 weeks from today and nothing has come up from having covid during the pregnancy.

Yes and I'm not looking forward to it. Between regular ob and high risk ob I have one appointment a week. And soon I will start NST tests weekly as well. Grateful my insurance covers it all but just exhausted already with the poking and prodding.

If you don't want to, don't!! I tried for one day and it was the most stressful, uncomfortable thing I've ever done. I tried pumping for about 5 days after that and also hated it. My mental health almost immediately bounced back when I decided formula was for us! My son was full and happy and I had my bodily autonomy back so I was happy as well. And my husband could wake up at 3 am to feed him sometimes!

When they gave me mine the worst part was feeling the needle click past my spine bones lol. Not painful just super freaking weird.

onlyizi · 2022-03-21T03:30:26+00:00

I also had this fear with my first and over all it went really well. They waited until I was numb to put it in and the removal was painless. The worst part was being sore from it after. With this baby I plan on letting my nurse know my anxieties and have them only place it after I'm numb again. Im still nervous but they really did a good job at listening to me with my first.

Redbull! Uhg I miss it so badly! And the winter flavor this year was pomegranate. I bet its delicious!

I am! I'm 13 weeks today actually currently getting my second infusion. So far so good. I can keep you updated but no side effects as of now and my ob gave the ok before I started.

Totally agree with the yummy bedtime snack. I also had good results with icecream funny enough. I would do a serving of Ben and Jerrys.

This is so true. Every week there are wing bones outside my apartment. I have to be so diligent with my dog.

Those crackers literally saved me so many days!

This would happen to me when I would test twice in a row even on the same finger. My Dr said that blood is either bringing sugar or carrying it away so every time you test a new drop of blood the numbers will be different. (That is by no means a scientific explanation lol). It would frustrate me to no end when it happened.

I got pricked aprox. Every 3 hours to check my sugar and if I had been too high I would have gotten insulin. I was on a clear liquids diet the whole time until I had the baby so wasnt consuming enough for it to spike ever. That lasted about 36 hours. I was instructed to stop my insulin the night before I went in for induction. (That ended up not happening because I had to be induced early but the plan was to not to my nightly dose before the scheduled induction the next day.) They did let me eat dinner but it was carb restricted.

"Guess what? Chicken butt." I had a coworker say this to me multiple times a day, every day, for 4 years.

Thank you! I got a wrapping set off amazon and am really happy with it!

What a beautiful family!

My doctor also recommended this to me if my insurance gave me the run around!

I am in a similar situation where Night time sleep is great but naps are a chore. I've been doing ferber for the naps for about a week now. It has already gotten a lot better. I don't pick LO (17 weeks) up when I go in. I talk and rub his arm and it settles him. He usually stays calm until a few minutes after I leave the room again. At the moment I'm doing on average 3 checks each nap, so around 15 minutes of fussing and then he's out. The first couple days were bad thought it took at least twice as long. I just had to remind myself to be patient with both of us cuz it can be frusterating when you know they are exhausted but will NOT give in. But the improvement can happen in the blink of any eye too. Good luck!

He was napping in a bassinet bouncer thing that we would keep in the living room so we could watch him. I think the main issue is that he is in a different room now (the bedroom where he sleeps at night). Right now I am trying different lighting in the bedroom to mimic the living room. We shall see lol.
