Re: Randoms and Questions 3.27 - 3.31

  • @Yiggle09 36 weeks was mine last time.

  • @Yiggle09 mine is at 36 weeks
  • Maybe mine is at 36 weeks and I just don't know what I'm talking about.

    For those SAHM (or part-timers or anyone), any suggestions on how to meet other moms with babies? There aren't any good meetups in my area (Raleigh, why not?!) I'm terrible at navigating facebook. Aside from just going to parks and mingling, any suggestions for finding meet ups/groups?
  • @yiggle09 I went for an appointment last night and they said at the next appointment they do the swab. I'll be 34 weeks


    I wish my hospital would let us preregister like most of you. On the phone they said its not necessary but I can tell you that yes it is! I had to keep taking breaks while completing paperwork because of contractions.

  • @Yiggle09 They are doing mine this week last week my OB said they do them after 35 weeks. so either your 35 or 36 week appt at my OB office.

  • @Yiggle09 I was wondering the same thing.  I had it done at 32 wks last time but only because I was in labor.

  • @Bailey8809 I am right there with you on the fear of the state of my house when I go into labor because my MIL will likely have DD duty. 

    @Yiggle09 just checked with my dr. My vag swab will be at 36 weeks. 

  • @BabyMC517 I haven't been able to truly "bend down" in months. I just physically can't...my belly stops me at a certain point. I've resorted to squatting.
  • Maybe mine is at 36 weeks and I just don't know what I'm talking about.

    For those SAHM (or part-timers or anyone), any suggestions on how to meet other moms with babies? There aren't any good meetups in my area (Raleigh, why not?!) I'm terrible at navigating facebook. Aside from just going to parks and mingling, any suggestions for finding meet ups/groups?
    I didn't have any mom friends with my first. When we moved it was my top priority to change that. It's  so important to connect with other mamas. I only had one friend with kids and she was 45 min away. I looked into local churches and found my MOPS group which was amazing. Also I made it a point to meet the neighborhood moms and now my closest friend lives right across the street with her little girl. It's kind of hard to put yourself out there but you have to do it for your sanity. My BF has met so many close friends in such random ways, at the park, the store, etc. she just makes conversation and if she hits it off with someone they stay connected and it's given her an amazing group of mom friends.

    @jkp7749 yes, I am having a scheduled c section this time and they are still doing one. I believe they do it "just in case" because you truly never know what could happen.

  • Re preregistration- I'm super annoyed because my hospital doesn't do this any more. I had preregistered with both of my girls, and when I went to the website to fill out the forms this time, I couldn't find it anywhere. I called the hospital, and they said they don't do that any more. "We take care of you when you get here, honey!" Um, I literally had half an hour between getting to the hospital and younger daughter being in my arms. Pretty sure I won't be wanting to do any paperwork when I get there, guys!  
  • @BeachMommy2B dangggg. I was hoping to avoid any extra times of taking my pants off in front of ppl....

    Speaking of....how in the world are yall taking care of things down there??? I tried and it was a fail.... With dd i was able to closer to my due date but this time its a struggle and im so embarrassed
  • Glad to know I'm not alone...I mean it's been difficult for awhile but it's gotten worse more recently. I definitely squat or so the bend with one leg up lol that's what I was told the first time I had physical therapy to do when picking something up. Just annoying...we have a shower only in our master now and let me tell you, washing your legs/feet is rough in there!

  • @Jkp7749 it isn't easy. I usually use a hand mirror and/or just shave blindly. I remember the night I started contractions with DS2 I took a hot shower and spent a lot of time shaving. So dumb. I don't know why I cared.

  • Thanks everyone! After my stint in labor and delivery yesterday I was like I don't want to get antibiotics  
  • @Jkp7749 @BabyMC517 this might be more for a TMI or a FFFC but I'm to the point where I lay a towel down on the bed, lay there with legs spread, give fiance the clippers, and pray he doesn't cut me! Then the next morning I can kind of clean it up a bit in the shower with a razor.

    The first time was awkward and we laughed, A LOT. Now it just feels so much better to have stuff cleaned up that its basically a weekly thing. Especially with all the check they do in the last month at the OB anyway.

  • @BeachMommy2B oh gah. I cant imagine dh doing that hahaha. I feel like he would do it but at this point im already too embarrassed for anyone else to see! 
  • MOTN feedings I took care of them all I breastfed so there was nothing DH to do plus he worked super early so he needed rest. 
    Pre registration- not pre registering! Dr says it isn't required anymore. Plus the progress is very fast so no need. 
    @Yiggle09 I got my swab today, 35 weeks!! 
    @jayandaplus  getting my tdap next week :)

  • @bacorrea DS2 has never been a particularly rashy baby so it worked for us.  We'd definitely change if it was anywhere near full.  This wasn't immediately... maybe at a month or so since we didn't need to monitor wet diapers for bf purposes at that point?   I'm sure I'll have the baby that screams the instant there's any wetness this time around!

    My midwife made sure I pre-registered at 24 weeks. I don't remember her pushing it that early with previously pregnancies, but she said it was a good idea with STM+ so that we're in the system if we need to get contractions monitored or something.

    I'm pretty sure the GBS swab is done at 36 weeks for me.

    Due May 2017 with DD1!
  • Bending over.....nope!  The best you get from me is cleaning around the ottoman using my toes or bribing kids (yogurt covered raisins for the win) to help me.  Thankfully DH picks up at night and does the dishes so as long I can convince the kids to contain their mess to the play room it's not that bad.

    pre-registering, I don't know if it's true but I heard it only counts if you deliver the day that is planned or something like that.  Nobody take my word on that one.

    Lady-scaping, I just did this this morning (TMI?), basically a mirror on a stool (or kids IKEA chair) and I sat on the side of the tub.  Other parts I blind shaved standing up.

  • I've been outsourcing picking stuff up off the ground- bending over is not happening. 

    I came to AW a little bit- over the weekend we noticed 2.5 years old DS eyes crossing a little bit when he was watching TV. We've noticed it a few more times since and are trying to get an appt with a pediatric ophthalmologist as soon as possible. I'm bummed that he might not be seeing clearly and could need glasses or eye patching. I know it could be worse but you never want your kids to struggle and it happened so suddenly that it is kind of scaring me. 
  • @chickyclg when's you date? 
    @Hansolosparka I never knew that was an indication of needing glasses. thank you for the information I'll keep an eye out for that with my son

    From my googling it's normal that it happens around this age and it's due to one eye being much stronger than the other so the weaker eye kind of goes on break and doesn't focus/drifts in. He also has a cold and was pretty tired and that can be when it shows itself. I'll share anything else I learn :)
  • Thanks @starphish18  !!! That makes me feel better. I know I'll think he's adorable in some little glasses :)
  • Re bending over.

    Yes, this is very unpleasant and I try to avoid bending over at all costs.  When I pick up DS's toys, I just plop down in the middle of the floor and then basically to get on all fours to stand back up.  Last night, I hid the little toys that make a big mess like his Legos and pretend crawfish boiling set.  I'll take it out the closet if he asks for it, but sometimes I think he just likes dumping them out and making a mess and doesn't really play.
