Next pregnancy, I will....

in July 2012 Moms

Have you thought about the things you will/will not do for your next pregnancy/baby (if you plan to have more kids?)  I have a list running my head!

*Find a pool and LIVE IN IT!  I was so miserable without pool access this summer, I seriously do not want to get pregnant again until I know I'll have easy access to a pool, lol.

*Buy a glider- we absolutely did not have room in this apartment but we are moving next summer and I MUST live somewhere with room for one.

*Do more OWT stuff-  I didn't do much of anything and I ended up having to be induced.  Next I will probably try a few more OWT things, even though they probably won't work, like acupuncture or the red raspberry leaf tea.

    I had a really great pg.  I hope I will be able to do the things I did the 1st time around like work out 5x a week and take lots of photo's.  Obviously it will be different because I will be chasing Sunny around, but I will do my best to have another awesome pregnancy!

    Not be 9 months pregnant in July during one of the hottest years on record.

    YES!  It's tempting to time my pregnancy for the same time of year so I can wear all the same clothes, but not being so miserable during the hot months might be nice, too....

    ...do exactly what I did this time.  I was happy, healthy, in good shape, and energetic.  The only thing I will *maybe* not do is find out the sex.

    Next pregnancy, I'd like to go with a midwife instead of doctors.  The doctors and nurses at my maternity clinic and the hospital were great - but I'd really like the more personal experience of a midwife.

    I will also try to exercise more.  I was so exhausted in the 1st tri and I experienced some spotting so I just stuck to walking and prenatal yoga.  I wish I did a little jogging etc and then maybe it would be easier to get back into shape now!

    Really my pregnancy went pretty well and was fairly easy.

    The only thing I would do is get a body pillow. By the time I needed it I couldnt fathom spending $70 on a pillow but the next time its going to be one of the first things I buy! Smile

    The only other things would be taking pictures in the same outfit, facing the same way ect so my collage is a bit more organized & also I started writing letters during my pregnancy each week to him and I want to do the same, but start earlier (I started around 22 weeks with DS) this time so I have the whole pregnancy covered!

    I will make myself do this as well. It was my intent to do it for this pregnancy but I was so sick and miserable so much of the time that I couldn't bring myself to do it most weeks.

     Also, if I am sick next pregnancy I won't wait so long to demand medication for it.

    And finally, when I go into labor I vow that I will not tell my mother until after the baby is born and we are home. She showed up at the hospital uninvited and threw a fit when she was asked (nicely) to leave when things got intense. She was told throughout my entire pregnancy that she would not be in the room and she seemed completely cool with it but then acted like a crazy person and stressed me and DH out while I was in labor. She ruined it for herself next time.

    If possible I would like to have a baby in March or April.  It was too hot and I wanted to die in July.

    Also, eat healthier the whole pregnancy.  I did great until about 35 weeks.  I was gross and I keep thinking if I didn't eat like a pig in the end I would probably be back at my normal weight by now.

    I enjoyed everything about being pg, except the comments of my ankles being swollen. Next time, I would like to not have a summer baby! So I can at least be comfortable wearing pants to hide the swelling.  But whatever happens happens.

    I think my pregnancy was pretty good, but I gained too much weight. I didn't have morning sickness and as a result, I ate every carb in sight for the first 3 months. I'd like to control my eating a little better and get more exercise next time.

    This! I'm the first to admit, I ate way too much, especially in the beginning when everyone else was losing weight due to m/s. I'm grateful that I felt great during first tri, but damn, I really should have layed off the carbs and filled up with fruits and veggies instead. Next go round, I'll do a lot of Pilates to try to avoid all the yucky joint stiffness towards the end and during the postpartum phase, and to prevent excessive weight gain. I will also, like many said, actually ENJOY my entire pregnancy instead of being in tears the entire first tri thinking something was wrong.

    For me it is a lot things already posted.  I would like to have LO #2 outside of the months of April-September, but not because of the heat.  DH works for a baseball team and for the most part I am a single mom during the season.

    I will NOT waste money on maternity clothes.  Not that I won't buy more, but now I know what I think is flattering on my pregnant body and what isn't so I won't buy things that make me feel like a blob.

    I definitely too plan to exercise more.  After I was taken off restrictions early in the pregnancy I was pretty diligent about exercising until our elliptical broke (with 6 weeks to go) and then we had the heat wave so walking was out of the question after that I just got lazy :)
