Hi kmcd! I keep wondering when I won't see you around the boards because you're busy having your baby. Hopefully soon, so you don't need to even worry about an induction!

about an induction!
Today is the day. 1pm! Sorry I haven't responded to your pm. I've only been on mobile lately. But H is home, and starts baby leave today before going back out to sea. So relieved!
My FFFC is that I really dislike my MIL and wish the baby would be born while she's on vacation so she misses it. I know it's really mean, but that's how I feel.
ETA: FWIW, I have legit reasons for my feelings toward her that are the direct result of her actions.

I was so scared too! This is my first bump post after delivering via induction on Wed and I can tell you I think the worst part of induction is anticipation. You know your body will start having contractions etc but thinking about them coming is kinda torture as they start slowly. But by the throes of it for me I think it was just like other labors.
You will get through it and be so happy you don't have to wait around for your LO any more!
Thank you. I appreciate that. And congratulations!
My FFFC...I hope I deliver in the wee hours of the morning so I get to squeak out another night at the hospital (like I did with DD). Its so nice to have someone cook for me and also to just rest.
This is so ghetto but I love the powder cheese mix from mac n cheese. Ive been known to stick my finger (my clean finger) in it and snag a taste prior to mixing it.
I cried yesterday because I miss having an inside baby. I miss being the only one who couldfeel her. And I miss laying down and wrapping my hands around my belly. As much as I said I was over bring pregnant, I definitely miss it 3 days post delivery.

Thanks for this, I'm scared too! I still have a few days but it's all I can think about. Crossing my fingers for the full moon theory...
Mine is that I'm so angry with myself that I can't breastfeed. And it not that I actually can't, I'm not allowed to because of the heart medicine I had to be put on.
We did so good with feeding, his latch was good, my supply was good and we were really getting the hang of everything.
When we were in the hospital and the visitors started arriving, I felt like none of them were 'family' to LO and it was awkward for me. I felt like she was mine and H's and they could all just leave.
On the same note, MIL drives me nuts. LO was sleeping the other day and MIL stopped by and was upset that the baby was coincidentally sleeping when she arrived. Yes, LO and I planned it that way, it had nothing to do with you not announcing your visit more than 10 minutes prior to showing up.

This exactly, except it's my F aunt and her husband. That is my FFFC. He always has some negative smart a$$ thing to say and she just falls on his every word like a love struck teenager. I don't want either of them at the hospital after LO is born. It's just so Garrett! You don't have to explain, I understand lol.

I want to like breastfeeding.nbsp; But it has been so frustrating.nbsp; My LOs were little and still struggle to latch and stay awake with a shield, and I think they get frustrated, too.nbsp; Plus, it kind of hurts and I am a gross, drippy mess.nbsp; So I guess my FFFC is that I have kind of had it with what should be a beautiful, natural process and would rather just spend the next 11 months pumping and supplementing.nbsp; Flame away.
I hear you. This was essentially my FFFC last week. With twins it's just so hard. Hang in there.
During labour I didn't care if she was ok it literally felt like it was me against her. Now I am over the moon but while I was pushing her out I didn't care about having her I just wanted it to be over......don't judge me or tell me I have ppd I have talked to my MW and they say this happens when moms are really scared. Which i was...i was terrified of the whole experience. sorry moms who are waiting for their babies it wasn't that bad in hindsight i was just totally unprepared and hadnt really addressed the fact that i was terrified of labour.Just thought I would be as candid as possible on here.

Ditto. LO just can't open wide enough, so we have to use the shield on the rare occasions that I nurse. And that oxytocin that's supposed to be released by nursing? B.S.!
Unfortunately, I also hate pumping because my nipples are now at an angle that prevents milk from draining into the collection bottle...unless I sit hunched over, gripping both flanges and pointing everything downward. My back is about to go on strike!
I totally see why people switch to formula feeding.

Not at all, do what's best for you and your baby. Pumping is really easy. I tried it today because my nipples are so bad I needed to give them a break for day. Don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself. The most important thing is that baby gets fed and they're content!
I hissed like a cat when SIL took it upon herself to ask other guests if they wanted to hold "my" baby.
Eh that's not your place so back off!
I hear you. I hate visiting family for that reason. Others think they can just pass him around and I want him to myself and no one else to hold him. Let alone people I barely know, ones who smoke and I do not want DS near them. I always hope he starts crying so I can run away and feed him. Then people will say "Oh you're not hungry" back off, I know my baby, not you, and yes as a matter of fact he is hungry.

Everything about my MIL since LO was born irritates the crap out of me. I literally can't stand being around her. She doesn't tell me what to do...in fact it's the opposite. She does nothing but pour on the a kissing so thick you can cut it with a knife. Get your nose out of my a hole and leave me alone lady!

I'm totally running into the same problem! LO is not getting enough from the breast so not only do I have to supplement but I have to try and pump as well and it's not a fun process.

I haven't read through the rest of the responses so I don't know if someone else suggested this, but I felt the same way about hunching over to pump, clutching the flanges to my chest, but recently bought a hands free Medela pumping bra [i think others have made their own out of a sports bra] and it has made a big difference!
Waiting for DD2 to come is far worse than DD1... Especially since I was early with DD1
That's exactly how I feel DD was born at 35 weeks and I never really had this horribly uncomfortable feeling I am having now. I know it's not even my due date yet (as people keep so kindly reminding me), but I can not wait for this kid to get here.
I hissed like a cat when SIL took it upon herself to ask other guests if they wanted to hold "my" baby.

At first I was all like B!tch.
And then I realized I said the same thing to MIL when we were in the hospital for SIL's birth. I was holding my nephew and I asked MIL if she wanted to hold him and I handed him over.

Thank you. I appreciate that. And congratulations!
And thanks Linegirl too!
I don't normally put much stock in this kind of thing... But I REALLY hope there is some type of validity to the Full Moon Theory.
Also, I hope DD2 is born tomorrow so her birthday is 5-25. DD1 is 9-29 and my nephew is 8-28. Just thinking it would be cool.
