    @VS2016

    I would talk to whomever is in charge of disability cases with your work to determine exactly what you need to start early. I was able to get off with just a note saying to excuse me from work to do extreme discomfort due to late term pregnancy but my company has a very   lenient policy once you hit 38 weeks.  If you have to be put on bed rest to get off, some doctors may be uncomfortable writing it if you don't have a reason to be put on bed rest. Good luck

  • My H just walked in to find me gnawing on our daughter's fingernails while nursing and immediately started laughing. I swear infant fingernails are the sharpest things I've ever touched, they could
    probably cut glass. My boobs are covered in
    claw marks and that shit hurts. 
    I used an adult nail file on my guy while he's sleeping, otherwise his habit of grabbing onto my boobs while nursing is horrible!!

    Am I the only one that finds the soft spot on a baby's head weird? It feels so fragile!!

    I just made DH feel it and he said "Oh god!" And backed off :lol:

    My original plan was to work all the way to my due day, but I'm seriously tempted to put in the towel starting next week.  I would need a doctor's note to get out of work before the baby is born.  My question is, has anyone else done this? I'm nervous if I ask my doctor for a note she is going to tell me since I'm not on bed rest she can't do it.  
    How far along are you? My doctor had no issue saying I could leave work at 38 weeks. I'm sure it wouldn't be a big deal to ask. They know how tired, swollen, and generally uncomfortable pregnant women get late in pregnancy. It cost nothing if the doc to agree to an earlier leave.

  • @VS2016 you should definitely ask. I doubt it'll be a big deal.

    @VS2016 I agree with @Charla1224.  I don't think it would hurt to ask your Dr at least!

    Alex is still in Neonatal for today and tonight. He is fine it seems, it's just precaution. I have the world's worst nipples. Baby won't latch so I have to use a shield. If I struggle too much, I will pump and feed him from my supply. Alex is also mega chill, like what a sweet guy! He doesn't do much of crying or anything. 

    Best thing about today is I can walk up and go see him anytime I want!!
    I've been looking forward to your update. Hopefully tomorrow at this time you are telling us that Alex is in your arms.

    I can at least hold him at times. But yeah, hoping to have him with me at all times comes tomorrow. :)

    Me too! I have wrapped up all my projects, so all I am doing is pitching in here and there on small things.... makes the day go by sooooo slow.

  • Any breastfeeding moms getting sharp needle like pain going down their breast when they aren't BFing?

    For anyone that's had their membranes stripped, how much did you bleed afterwards? I feel like I've got a light to moderate period going on here. Just want to make sure that's normal.

    Once again if you are bored and enjoy watching drama, the June board is at it again.  It is the I can feel her breathing board... 
    They are super feisty!  Definitely an entertaining thread.

  • I'm not even through the first page yet and... LOL! The OP is a dummy.. I feel like maybe it started as a fake thread. It has to be fake, right?! I need some popcorn...

  • ^ I find it impossible to sleep when LO sleeps. I want to watch him sleep, get things done around the house (holy crap to endless laundry), eat, catch up on texts/emails, Bump... etc. there are not enough hours in the day.

    Yay @kami09! Fx for a pitocin free delivery. 
  • VS2016VS2016 member
    @kami09 good luck!!
  • That's so sweet, @amberraysofdawn
    Best of luck, @kami09!
  • I started leave this week. The first couple of days were okay because I still had/have some stuff to take care of before baby gets here. But today is day 4 at home... and I'm bored. Now its mainly the waiting game and I still have a little over a week until my actual due date. Guess I should enjoy the rest and relaxation while I can though.
