Anyone have any questions that need to be answered?

Re: Anyone have any questions that need to be answered?
I had an epi, but it didn't help the pressure and I'd say that was about a 5 or 6. I have no clue what labor would be like with out an epi though.
Labor/delivery was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I'd say...7-8. (I had an epidural, but it wore off 3 hours before pushing).
If I wish upon a star, will I get ku? *giggles* sorry...couldn't resist!
Interested to hear the answer to the 1-10 labour pain q!
Go out to the good meat store, buy extra to put in the freezer!
Very silly, non-GP-related question. (I just want someone else's opinion!)
I need to drop a few pounds (no more than 5) so clothes will fit better. Do you think I can lose weight just by cutting back on my eating a bit (nothing drastic - just eating healthier, not snacking as much) or do I need to step up my exercise? I currently walk the dog every day for 20-30 mins, and do some light strengthening exercises 4 days a week.
Edited because "strengthing" is not a word!
What does pph stand for? I know what it means, but cant fig out what its abbreviating.
Also, you now have me singing ring of fire. lol
Bromelain decreases blood clots which is found in the pineapple core. You can always eat the pineapple too, but the core is what has the bromelain in it. Make a smoothie!

Hi Lemon!
::pinches Miles' cheeks::
Do you recommend ever taking a charting break, and if so, how long into the TTC process and why? Thx :-)
You didnt ask me, per say, but I vote for Good meat store!
because if it was green it would be boring
This!
I "get" it in context, but what is it an acronym for?
That's tricky because it kinda looks like you Oed.
I did a diet called the 'cereal for breakfast' diet that I invented myself. I'm lazy and didn't want to actually diet or kick up the exercise (er...by that I mean BEGIN exercising). So I decided to improve just one of my meals - breakfast. Instead of eating my usual bagel, waffles, or pancakes for breakfast I ate healthy cereals. It worked - I lost 8 pounds.
And Lemon...I apologize. Apparently I can't read questions without answering them. It makes my fingers twitch.
Puffy puffy heart. or Pink Puffy Heart. Or Puffy Pink Heart.
Make sure it is a shooting star (if you look at a star and then move your head fast enough it makes it a shooting one
)
pink puffy heart
Lol
Apparently me either.
I lost 20lbs on weight watchers before I got pregnant because I started to eat healthier. I added no more exercise then I was doing before so I totally think you can do it!
See girls...Lemon does know all!! Ask her, it works.
puffy pink heart
I completely understand and have been there. Try not to stress to much. Once you start feeling your little one move those feelings will get less and less. Hang in there girl!
I have long irregular cycles before Miles so I think stopping charting would have been more stressful for me then charting. Its really a personal choice though. If you need a break, take one!!
Awesome! Just what I wanted to hear (if you couldn't tell!). Thanks for the help, Lemon. And you, too, Bee!
I think I'm confused because I'm not sure what you are talking about
These
perfect! thank you lemon! I'll do it one better and make sure that I'm standing on my head and crossing my eyes! that surely will make it a shooting star!
I don't have any scars on the inside from of my cervix, but do have endo so that causes scaring. Is the article saying that it will take longer to get pregnant? I know with endo my doctor was telling me not to be surprised to be trying for over a year. It actually only took us 5 months to get pregnant. As for scars on the skin of your belly (not sure if you have any) I can tell you about that. I had lap surgery for endo and also to get my gallbladder removed. The scars got really stretched and red, but now I can barely see them. Baby Miles helped those go away! Guess it stretched out the scar tissue so they aren't raised anymore.
I've used it before, I really like the way it feels. Now that being said, Miles was a KY Jelly baby, so getting KU can happen with ky jelly too
Oh me, Lemon, choose me!
I was wondering wtf is going on with my chart? The week that I was "supposed to O" I was on vacation sleeping in a room that was very cold at night with a fan blowing on me (cold like 40-50 degrees cold). What would you do if you were me? When would you test, or should I just wait?
I had precancerous cells in my cervix and had a biopsy as well. (2 colpos and a LEEP). I had to be 3 yrs in the clear to ensure everything was ok and they had been monitoring me while TTC.
Ask your dr about it. I was able to get pregnant (after 4 cycles, which is not the norm) Again, consult with your dr, tell them of your plans, any concerns you may have.
GL!!!
I bet if you asked this in a separate post you would get some answers from people that have been through this aubie has I think.
Edit: I see she has already answered, lol
Thanks! I think that is my favorite abbreviation on this board! Great stuff.
