FFWC- I'm jealous of all you with good pain killers. I had a csection, only stayed 2 days and was sent home with my dr telling me to take Tylenol. I hate him
As the OB who delivered Dylan said "sending someone home without a prescription after major surgery is cruel"
@Jessieann1020 I was just thinking today how much I miss the nurses we had in the nicu. They were my best support system. And I'm almost a little jealous of the mamas experiencing birth for the first time, I feel like I'm forgetting what it was like already.

Ok. I think I am a total weirdo. I said before I got a little sad when I used the last Tucks Pad that I got from the hospital. Well tonight I was kind of down and wasn't sure why then I realized I put away my post partum supplies like dermoblast and the stuff the hospital gave me this evening since I am not really using them any more. I get sad that I am not pregnant any more and it also makes me sad that our birth and hospital experience is over. I love my little guy but I miss all the excitement of planning for him. We will have more babies one day but I feel like it will never be the same. I can't be the only one who feels like this?
I've totally been feeling this way. I had a tubal and we are 100% done, but it's still bitter sweet knowing I will never be doing this again.

Holy shit, i hate him for you!!
I'm allergic to morphine and Percocet, so maybe that's why? But Good God Man there's lots of painkillers I can take!!

No kidding! I came home with Motrin and Norco. I really miss that morphine pump though

This is my 3rd LO and I'm feeling the same way. There is so much excitement and build up to the big day that its kind of bitter sweet when its all over. It made me a little sad when I made my 6 week appointment. My pregnancy went by really slow this time around and I'm very happy to have my little man on the outside but I still feel the same way.

Ok, we were supposed to go in at midnight for induction... Called at 10:30 and they took phone number and said they'd called us. It's been 3 hours and nadda. Do I call again and make them hate me before I even get there?? I need to know if I should go to sleep or what tonight...
@ColleenSwerb errands trump internal every time :-)
Experienced my first epic battle of wills with an overtired baby last night. She cluster fed from 4:30-8:30, then B cried, screamed and head butted me until 3 AM. I feel like a terrible mommy because I couldn't figure out what was wrong. DH even tried giving a pacifier, which stopped the tears, but kept her awake and now our already poor latching seems worse. She has slept well since 3, but the hourly snacking is killing me.
Thanks @ColleenSwerb that's good to know. I love my caffeine! Maybe it was our first rain/hail storm of the season that caused us to have a bad night.
Is it weird that I didn't need any pain meds for my c-section? My doc wanted to send me home with Norco but I declined it.
This is me too. I only took normal ibuprofen for the first few days. I have some Tylenol with codine, but I didn't bother taking it. I was the same at the hospital too - they offered narcotics but I stuck with the Motrin.
So pissed at DH for being utterly useless last night and this morning. I swear, when he gets home from work I am just going to hand him the baby and leave and get myself some freaking ice cream.
My 2 year old loves to be a helper. I changed G's diaper and put the diaper on the table for a minute. Micah ran and got it and said trash? And I said yes put it in the trash, so off he ran. Except we are staying at my BIL house right now and apparently he doesn't know where the trash is. After him running around for a few mins while I tried to give him directions and breastfeed, he decided it belonged in the toliet. So I got to run across the house with G still attached as a diaper was being flushed. I got it in time though! Such a fun morning, I really hope DH is enjoying this fishing trip he had to take with BIL
White spit up through the nose is ok right? Dd just did it twice and I'm totally nervous. We have an appt this afternoon but do I need to call? Help a nervous FTM!
Well, I went ahead and got the internal. As I figured, pretty much no progress. Couldn't even do a sweep. Oh well. I'm taking it better this time vs last because I had pretty much resigned myself to the RCS, or at east being late if I did go into labor. Went to Walmart and got some last minute stuff. I bought a bright green plaid robe and nightgown, and a new pair of pj pants. Cuz I felt like it. Lol!
This is me. I was still between a 1 and a 2 and my OB would have done the sweep if I was at a 3. I know dilation doesn't really mean anything when you're not in labor so as far as that goes it is what it is; I was just disappointed in not being able to do the sweep!

I wish I could be more zen. Last night I was positive it was it. Cx 7 minutes apart and getting more intense all night. Tapered off and then started to return right before my midwife appt. then gone. Got my NST and ultrasound an baby is fine. She said I was just about 2cm so she did a sweep. I normally don't like internals for this exact reason. 2cm? Only 2 after weeks of podromal labor?! Are you freaking kidding me?! My husband is dilated 2cm. Ughhhhh.
(I am aware that number means nothing when it comes to when I will go into labor- I was jut operating under the delusion that all my prodromal labor was getting me through the early stage and I be 3-4 cm by now)
Midwife told me to go home, take a bath, a benedryl, and go to bed.
And get Taco Bell.

Ok, just got out of the shower so I'm sitting here with dd topless while she eats. Apparently I should watch what I'm doing because my other boob just leaked all over the recliner!

Can I be next? Please and thank you.
