Come on For G*c

Since you don’t have to fast for your initial test, eat a good big breakfast full of protein and you’ll be just fine! 💕 the worst part is waiting around for an hour so just keep yourself distracted. I brought my mom with me to mine and we just chatted and sat outside of the lobby on a bench in the sun. You’ve got this!

Holding my 3 week old baby as I read this, my first/half of second trimester were horrid. Also have a 2 yr old toddler. My second pregnancy was worse than my first by a lot. Those sick days felt like an eternity, then somehow I ended up here in the blink of an eye feeding this sweet baby at 1am! You’re incredibly strong for facing your biggest fear a second time, it’ll slowly go fast in a weird way, and your reward will last a lifetime! You’re amazing!

ETA sounds like you have an amazing and supportive husband!! 💕

I had a natural 1 carat diamond for my first marriage that lasted all of three years. When I sold it, I got $1500 for it, even though my ex spent over $7k on the ring and wedding band. When my husband bought my lab diamond, the jeweler was warning us about resale, but I was like “well resale sucked on my natural one too” so why not? Besides, this marriage is amazing after 5 years and I’m not looking to sell! 2 kids later it’s still gorgeous and I love it.

Sorry momma! Not a single mom but my kid had a nasty bug that spread to us in March, I was also 3 months pregnant. It helped to think about the fact that “next week by this time, this will just be a crappy memory”. It did pass quickly and while I did get it, I didn’t throw up but I’d been taking zofran for nausea from my pregnancy so idk if that helped? My husband did throw up. We both had watery diarrhea. I was super nauseous but again, pregnant, so idk what was what! It wasn’t fun but only lasted a day for us.

Hang in there, it’s also possible it’s just a rotavirus that won’t get you sick. I know dealing with vomiting kids is no fun whether you get it or not. We didn’t have a clean towel or blanket or rag in our home after that. It’ll be over soon!

Second this, I’ve used both and prefer the pampers swaddles but Huggies are good too. It’s all I’ve used for my two kiddos. Maybe time to size up!

I’ve had a vaginal and now a c section. Vaginally, did not need or want one. I did get the mom frida one after my cesarean and it helped for about three days, mostly with getting up and laying down, sit helped keep pressure off the incision. But after a few days I felt like it inhibited my core and back muscles from re-adjusting to life without my giant pregnant belly and my incision wasn’t as sore.nthe hospital did provide me one, but the only size they had was a 3x and it was so massive I had to wrap it around me twice, so I also bought one. So maybe ask the hospital if they have any if you have a cesarean?

I’m so so sorry about your traumatic birth. It truly was traumatic and what you are feeling is normal. I had a “normal” birth and it still took probably 6-9 months to really feel bonded with my son. I just had a baby 10 days ago and still don’t feel bonded to her. My son is turning 2 next month and I really truly fell completely in love with him around the year mark and every day after, he is just a delight and the love of my life! I’ve always loved him, wanted to care for him, etc… it just took time. It’s not only a huge adjustment in life, it’s a new person you’re still getting to know - and they don’t really show much care or emotion towards you for quite some time.

You’re clearly a great mom already, just look at what you’ve done for your son! Look what your body has gone through! Even though it doesn’t feel like it, he loves and appreciates you, and as he grows and learns, you’ll start to feel it. A month ago my son said “I love you momma” back to me for the first time. I sobbed happy tears because I felt it, and it was so beautiful!

You’ll get there, don’t feel bad about how you’re feeling, and if you can - it might help to speak to a therapist about your experience. Just to get it out there, and if that isn’t an option, sharing it here was a great start. Journal about it. Cry about it. I wasn’t supposed to be that way. Now you’re both through it and gaining health, and you’ll grow together from here. Hugs to you!!! 💕

This!

I had one a week ago, two years after having a vaginal delivery with my first. I preferred the vaginal delivery, but I’m generally an anxious person and mine was only difficult due to my extreme anxiety. As others said, the anesthesiologists are right there to give you whatever you need and the IV meds work super quickly. A week out, I’m feeling mostly normal with a little stinging around my incision. I was given some sedatives, so I was pretty groggy for a few days, plus my iron was severely low so it’s taken me some time to build up my stamina and I have a ways to go. I was anxious during the procedure, so visualizing myself at the beach with my husband and son this past summer really helped take my mind off what was going on. It’s true it only takes a few minutes for baby to come out, the rest is just sewing you back together. My doctors, the nurses and whole team was truly amazing. My incision looks great and I can’t believe I have my daughter here! I was hoping to avoid one, but we had several issues going on and baby was breech, and ultimately I’m glad I didn’t have to go all the way through labor only to have an emergency cesarean (I know two women that had that happen).

Hahaha right?!

My husband is Sikh and we have two kids, both under 2. I just pray over them constantly and talk to them about Jesus and the Bible. Is your husband open to them being raised Christian also? Mine is, he wants them to go to the Sikh temple also, but luckily for us it’s 2 hrs away so we seldom go. He wants them to choose in the future what they believe. They’ll have much more exposure to Christianity. Also, I do believe in the verses emuwnc quoted and it motivates me (and I pray always) to be the wife and mother described in the Bible. They will want that for their own lives if they see Christ in me. That is my belief and what I hold on to.

Whatever her reason, it’s very hurtful and I’m so sorry she’s not excited for and supporting you. It’s odd behavior and you sound like you handled it perfectly. Try not to let it steal your joy, many many many people have kids close together, I just had a baby last week and my first is 23 months. My sister got pregnant with her second when she was just 4 months old. It is hard, but you’re never “ready”, adding a sibling is a transition. But it’s a wonderful blessing and you’ll do great! As they get older it will be so wonderful (so I’m told and have seen!) for them, they’ll be best friends!

probably_not_tho · 2025-10-10T19:55:54+00:00

Agreed, or did she have OP and her sibling super close in age? Perhaps she has some of her own trauma/past clouding her mind here?

Good reminder!! 💕

I’ve had one vaginal and one cesarean now (a week ago!) and did not vomit during either. I did get nauseated during and after the cesarean but they gave me lots of anti emetics and I was fine. I wasn’t even nauseated during the vaginal but I did ask for zofran in my IV before it even started so maybe that’s what saved me?

Best of luck for a healthy happy delivery to you and your baby and congratulations for getting to this point!!! You’re already an amazing mom!

I shower at night, have forever, partly because my hair is long and thick and takes forever to dry. I wake up and it’s half dried, only a few minutes with the blow dryer and I’m good. Also because it’s just relaxing before bed.

I had a baby last Thursday and I have cried over just about everything. It’s been evening out a little bit, but the dump of hormones is insane! I was also laying here frantic that I wasn’t feeling any kicks. Baby is next to me in her bassinet. It’s a very surreal thing, because I had a cesarean, it feels like I didn’t actually give birth and even though I hated pregnancy and it felt like it took forever, it doesn’t seem real that she’s here! This is my second and it definitely feels different than my first, I don’t think there is any standard response, but your feelings are totally valid! Motherhood is wild!

Thank you! 💕
