You know, I've never asked, but I hear it a dozen times a day. When you get to the hospital to deliver and they "hook you up to an IV," what's in the IV? Pain meds? Seems silly that I don't know, but I've never heard anyone say anything more than it hurts like a bitch.
Fluids and so they can easily hook you up to pitocin or anything else you might want/need.
I had an unmedicated birth with DS and I had to argue to not be hooked up to an IV when I arrived. They wanted it available for any medications or fluids.
Holy hell I'm having a hard time keeping up with this thread lately. I REFUSE TO MISS ANYTHING!
@Serenla - Drink some milk, yo! Heartburn sucks.
@Pineconey - I hope you're feeling better soon. I somewhat feel your pain every time you write the word 'mucous' because I fucking hate that word. Ahaha
@ColleenSwerb - You're like a fountain of knowledge I want to bask in...naked. Rrrrow
@mrscrcalli - Girl you is beautiful. That is all.
@BIRL - Why is In and Out burger named as such? Can you not sit down inside? It sounds naughty. I want some.

@J&NL I've always had the best luck with L'oreal. I don't use a top coat and they usually last close to a week. Sally's is another good one but it's a specific kind of Sally's.

Don't give up yet. You can still get a few more weeks with a hairband!

They usually just start an IV so they have easy access in case you need pitocen, fluids, antibiotics, pain meds, ect. It's standard practice to get one when you first go in.
Thank you everyone on the nail polish advice! I have on essie right now so I'll try a different one next time. It's so aggravating getting a pretty color and it chips right away.

I'm SO over today. Went to town to try to order food for my dads memorial. Got all overwhelmed by the choices and left. My house is a mess and I have no energy to clean it. Plus DH went back to work today and I miss him. Where is the cake??
I just did something really stupid/pregnancy brain related. I went to the gate to get into the station and waved my hand around the motion sensor, it didn't open and I got cranky and waved my hand again.
I forgot that I had to pay to get inside *face palm*

Question: WWA14 do? My shower invites went out this week. One went to a friend who just told me today that she miscarried. Do I warn her a shower invite is on the way, and if she's not feeling up to it completely understand if she doesn't want to attend? Do I wait for her to say something to me? I know as we struggled to get pregnant any shower invites we a slap in the face, but I didn't experience a loss. I don't want to be insensitive! I feel just awful for her.

I would warn her. That way she can rip it up without having to open it if that's what she wants.

Agreed and if I might be so bold, if you are close a sympathy card can mean the world when you M/C, sending her one might be thoughtful.

Update on me to all who were waiting: Went to the drs office. They did some junk and checked me and sent me to the hospital. Contractions every two mins but not dilated. Now I'm hooked up to monitors getting ultrasounds and more shots. I get another shot in 20 mins. I'm going on procardia (spelling?). That's all I've heard so far. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.
