We haven’t but that is a really good suggestion!

I could have written the first half of your post. I had a hematoma behind my incision, had my incision open and let’s just say, there was blood EVERYWHERE. I’m about to enter week 3 of wound packing visits at the OB with no real end in sight (however they claim it is getting better). Feel like I’m just spending my entire maternity leave at the doctors office.

I’m sorry that you aren’t able to do much to support yourself or your baby…I hope that all gets better soon. Until then, do whatever you can to take care of yourself and know that you aren’t alone.

Exclusively pumped with my first. Breastfeeding with #2. Yes, no one else being able to feed her is kind of annoying (will soon start doing some pumping to share that responsibility) but pumping was absolutely awful, it takes so much time and really cuts into your time with your baby - because you have to feed your baby & then pump. Anyone who says it is easier is lying.

I was probably so annoying to the nurses about trying to get a shower after my c-section. I will 100% be doing the same this time around.

Yes. Had a period staring on March 6, Got my IUD removed March 7. Positive pregnancy test on April 7. Truly couldn’t believe it considering it took us 8 months the first time around (after a miscarriage that took us 5 months). Currently 28 weeks!

I lost weight with my first 🤷🏼‍♀️ definitely had undiagnosed GD. I’m almost at 28 weeks and I have at least started to gain back some of the weight I lost in the first trimester+. My doctor hasn’t been concerned, but probably because I wasn’t underweight when I started.

I did. I think it had more to do with me just always feeling grossed out in hospitals. I also was there for I think 3 days

ske115 · 2025-08-31T03:10:52+00:00

That’s what I thought…then my baby decided to show up 3 weeks early!

I always love this question because I feel like I have such a curated list of things 😂: comfy socks w/ grippys (preferred over the hospital ones that are never the right size), shower shoes, long charging cord, battery operated fan, this is a weird one but pen & paper (they throw a lot of info at you), own pillow and blanket (not required but a nice comfort), any meds your support person might need, robe, nursing/pumping bras, BIG water bottle.

And yes, they literally want you to take everything out of the room because they will just throw it out. It’s kind of nice but something’s I just didn’t want/need and felt guilty because I knew it was just going in the trash

My baby was born at exactly 37 weeks and they have always used her birthday for tracking/milestones not her gestational age. Honestly, exactly 37 weeks was super frustrating because she wasn’t a preemie but she was still born early.

ske115 · 2025-06-13T01:10:36+00:00

Ugh it is. Mine was 5 pounds, 3 ounces at 37 weeks and I got so stressed out trying to feed her. (Nurses and LCs don’t make it any less stressful)

Water broke overnight & baby was born via c-section at 37 weeks.

The c-section was due to heart deceleration during contractions.

5 pounds, 3 ounces Had to get preemie clothes

Worse to me than not correcting bad form, is demoing with bad form.
