What are you least looking forward to?

one would think the all night feedings-
I know that I am not looking forward to
1) The shoulder pain after my c-section.
2) The nurses pushing on the fresh inscision to get out clots
any one else have something they knowingly are not looking forward to or is this post a bust?

Re: What are you least looking forward to?
1. Never getting a good night of sleep again.
2. Going out to a fancy restaurant just because we feel like it without planning ahead.?
Right now I'm not looking forward to the possibility of pooping while pushing. I dunno, that's the first thing that comes to mind.
Oh, and sleep...I like my sleep.
But I know it will all be worth it!
1. All the pain and nastiness of giving birth.
2. No sleep-I get cranky when I don't get sleep.
3. Not getting to spend enough time w/ my baby since I will be a working mom.
All the stuff that comes out after you have the baby! No one told me about this until I was already pregnant and now I'm finding out that you bleed for days afterwards.
Also, the lack of bladder control. Ew.
1. Having 2 under 2
2. Itching to death from the morphine after the c-section
3. Getting up for feedings all night long
Oh I forgot about the morphine!
It made my face and arms itch soo bad! I had actually dug holes in my body- Definately not looking forward to that either.
1. Never getting a good nights rest again.
2. Fear of the baby pushing me and my bf apart from eachother rather than bring us closer.
3. Most def finances.

1. Possibly pooping while pushing has definitely been a fear!
2. Having the baby a week before Christmas! I'm not worried about interfering with Christmas at all, I'm just worried about us having to drag a week old baby out in the crappy weather and then worried that dh's HUGE family won't understand when we aren't letting everyone hold and pass around a week old baby! My sister's 4 week old was in the hospital at 2 weeks with rsv and sleep apnea because he was around too many people and caught a cold from somebody. I won't be afraid to hurt feelings in order to make sure that doesn't happen to our baby!
1. weeks, or maybe the rest of my life, of broken sleep.
2. Snot. I have this thing with snot, and the snot suckers...
I took care of my nephews over the weekend and one of them kept sneezing and every time he did it projectile snot flew from his nose. It was more than my 1st tri stomach could handle. That being said, I know it's just not my stomach now. I've never been able to handle snot. Throw-up, poopey diapers, fine whatever, but snot...just can't do it
3. I'm also a little worried about not being able to just pick up and go whenever. DH and I like to take little road trips that we're prepping to put on hold for a while. Hopefully we won't have to stop them all together, but we're bracing ourselves for that.
This. I hate snot!!! hahaha I thought I was all alone...
Everything else included also.
1. The pain of childbirth!
2. My husband being their for the birth because he is in the Navy and we never know when he is going to get deployed.
3. Not getting sleep after the baby comes. I usually sleep 10 hours a day now. If I get less than 9 hours I don't feel well. I am jealous of the people who can sleep 6 hours and feel great.
1) Telling my MIL (she's never happy about babies...at least not ours)
2) Listening to many in my LLL group try to convince me to do a homebirth, or at the very least, go unmedicated. No thank you to both.
3) DH's family getting mad at me (again) for choosing to breastfeed and use bottles as little as possible
4) My parents not coming to visit another new baby (they only came to see the first) because they now have to pay for their $35,000 pool, it's too cold, or whatever other excuse they decide to give us this time.
ugh, this. I get a little flippy in my stomach when I think about the possibility
oh, and not sleeping - I really don't do well without sleep.
This. Aside from the pain, I am afraid that my body will never be the same again. (Plus, the terminology reminds me of horses . . . weird to be compared to a pregnant mare
)
This, at least for a year if this one's like DS. Also the pain of when my milk first comes in. That hurt and I leaked everywhere at anytime, right through the nursing pads.
